As long as they are in the thickness range for the blade, it does fine. A little slower than bigger saws, but much handier in small areas.

Hello Julieta - depending upon the thickness of the book, I would say yes. This is really a nice tool and a bargain at the price. Blessings! Howard

I do not think this saw would do a quick and satisfactory job on branches 3" to 5" thick. I've used it on 3" branches several times but think it's use is more applicable in the 1 to 2 1/2" diameter branches. Consider using a chain saw for speed and ease of cut on your branches. Note: an electric chain saw will cut your branches quite well.

The guides are 12.25 inches apart, so no. To cut anything wider, you have to double it over, creasing your paper.

the max it will cut is a 3" log or tapper down a larger diameter log with draw knife or axe. the finished cut will be 1.5" diameter ok for small projects benches, chairs, tables, get a bigger cutter for bed frames and such.

Of course the blade needs to be appropriate, but the saw has plenty of torque and certainly I have had no issue in up to 1" thickness in all the mentioned materials. That is not to say that you could not go thicker, just have not used it over 1".

This saw is more suited for 1/4 in to 3/8in. It would work but it would suck up battery life and tax the saw. From Dave T

Yes. I have used this saw will cut 1.00" material. Use common sense though. Use a fence, go slow, and try to keep the cuts short. My cuts were 8" long, and I let the saw sit for a little bit to cool. If you are cutting A36 plate, you shouldn't have any issue. If you are cutting A572-50 or A514, I would probably opt for other methods.

I doubt it. The blade lifts up about 5 1/2 inches from the table. and the slot that the saw cuts into is 5 inches. Maybe with 2 cuts you could do it, but it would probably not be a clean cut.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

Haven't tried but it will take very shallow cuts &lt; 1/64 in. The stock blades are very sharp don't know how they would hold up to oak end grain

It will trim things up to 1 inch. It cuts a little slower at that size but it does work well

Hi. In answer to your question, the blade itself is 1 1/2", (1.5"), wide. The effective cutting width when affixed to the tool appears to be 1 5/32" at best. The tool has good heft to it and if your leather is firmly secured you might get close to what your target is. Try it on a scrap piece first. Good Luck, Joe D.

I had to cut it because it was 1 inch too big. So if you can cut yes its ajustable. It works perfect. Best thing ever for what i need. I cut it w a kitchen knife so its very simple

I doubt it. It cuts wood branches nicely up to 1 inch but struggles beyond that.

The saw is capable and has plenty of power, depending on you putting the correct blade on it, it will do fine, assuming that you are not cutting 1" hard steal.
