I need to cut a 1" case hardened steel shaft - hardness C60 to .08" depth. Will this blade work?

It will cut your shaft but you may burn threw one or two disks to do it. a chop saw with a 12" to 14 " blade would be better if you are cutting a lot of hard shafts.

I believe so. Shaft size is 5/8". I've used this one for years and recenlty upgraded to a dewalt and it works great.

Yes it would mine work really well just make sure the blade bottom is not worn out too . Or you might just have to buy them both

Yes the blade will work the slanted tip of the, blade gives you a much better cut.

I think i saw a blade that leaves 1/2". That would probably work. That blade that comes with it leaves about 1/4" or less.

I Would say no. I bought this drill for wood and heavy kydex but i would say it dosent have enough power to drill half inch steel.

I am not exactly sure what size hole you want in the 1" plate. I can drill through 3/8" plate with a 1/2" drill at 540 rpm easily using Mobil one as a lubricant. So with a sharp drill and using coolant (cutting fluids work best here) 1" should be no problem. You have to keep the chips clear and pull the drill out often to do that. You may have to stop and resharpen your drill or change it out for a sharp one. And do not force the drill through the steel, let it cut at it's own pace. Be patient and it can be done with no belt slippage and no motor stall. You do not need the lowest speeds to do that IF everything is clamped well. Do not try to hold onto the steel with your hand as you can be hurt easily.

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

No. It will make the cut, but it does not follow a straight line very well unless the tool (NOT THE BLADE) is supported securely. You can't use a blade-guide because the carbide cutting blade will make short work of anything it contacts...including a metal straight-edge.

Unsure but know that it will sharpen a blade 1/8 inch thick. And it does a VERY good job! I like this product.

It's literally 1/4" steel stock that has been ground down into a knife. If you have the strength to use it, it should work. You are going to break before it will.

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

Absolutely, just need the right bit. The question would be what would the depth of the cut be and is the blade long enough to cut through what you want. If it is close, may be cut from both sides??????

I have used it to cut foam core up to 1/2" for my interior design boards, but that's as thick as I've had occassion to cut. I believe you can adjust the depth of the blade up to an inch though.

Yes. You need the correct gauge that will attach to this cutter. That can be found here:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000N8JYWY/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?qid=1376532393&sr;=8-1

Yes it will. Its a very easy process. Follow the instructions. Just make sure that your shaft is not pitted

I think it will, especially the larger bits sizes, but you need to use lots of water to cool down the bit while cutting.
