Has anyone used this to hold the block of wood for a pinewood derby car when cutting it with a coping saw?

Yes I did cut wooden boards while holding it with table squeeze/vise. In aft I was making rig for it so I could install small ammunition reloading press on it while making that wooden rig removable. I would not recommend if you needed to cut heavy beams or very long boards, because the table is light and it would be unstable to work with tools. for up to 8 feet long 3/4 or even 1 inch thick boards (not wider than 4.5 inch if you want to use it as vise) this table is okay.

Don,I'VE used this stand to hold 8foot long, 6X6 pressure treated pieces, using a Dewalt Sawzall. It wobbles, but the table vise hold the material. My vexation with the piece is that it was annoying to assemble, it wants to flop out and unfold when you carry it. And, it is not nearly as stable as the earlier models. It is a cheap price for a below average piece.Dave

My husband bought it for his harvester~a machine that cuts pulpwood, etc. and delimbs the sticks. I think he has it on a shelf behind him in the cab. So, I guess I am not much help on this one. Sorry )-:

I have used this as a ripping saw with the chain it came with (cedar), had no problems, in need of a bigger bar and chain though.

sYes, of course I'd use those cheap plastc gloves or a sheet of platic wrap to hold the block. you get nice thin slices no more than the width of the slicer and it requires a little pressure/strength.

not well. The tool is well made and strong but it is made for cutting smaller thinner wood. this is not a corded tool replacement, rather a small jig saw helper.

It's not made for that application, so I wouldn't try it. Might work for a while, but I imagine you'd ruin the saw pretty quickly with cement dust and such.

Ihave used it on pine and oak without any issues it will get a little bit loaded up after extended use but a wire bush takes care of that in a hurry!

The saw is ok for use with thin wood. It will stall and jam with use of thicker plywood, and treated wood

yes. but I use a c clamp to bolt my saw to a foldup saw horse for moving the saw, because my shop is small. 10ft by 20ft.

I have used it but I bought a 12" roller from Harbor Freight and placed it on the edge surface of a 2 x 4 and used it that way. This made sure that it didn't drag too much over the surface. It might work just find by itself but you might try it and then try my suggestion.I am using it with a Craftsman Professional table saw with a 30" fence width.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

Yes, I have a curbing company and I use one like this on my 7 1/4" circular saw to cut 4"x6" concrete curbing.

Not as far as i know, If your cutting steel i dont think its strong enough, on wood it might hold up ok.

Hi Hollister, I've used this clamp many times on 2x lumber. I extended my side support wings by about 20" this helps add stability to the length of the workpiece. I also use the Kreg HD jig on 2x projects with the HD screws. I would highly recommend this product. If you don't already have them I would consider the automaxx clamps too. Hope this helps.

Yes. Just for you, having a recently expired credit card, I gave it a go. Holding firm down pressure to avoid bounce, it took tree or four decisive wraps with a 3# hammer to create a clean 3/4" hole or disc; using a knot on a piece of pine/fir as an anvil. You want something quite firm, that will not damage the cutting edge. I like end-grain of hedge, though end-grain of most any hard wood or similar material would suffice.They are a good set.

Yes. I've had zero issues with it and I just used the saw to build a table. It works great, and the safety buttons are very easy to use.

I've seen pros using them- but it is a more of a handyman kind of tool. Still it works pretty well and I've used it for building major wooden fences and sheds and it will drive a 3 in screw into treated lumber no problem. Plus its cheap- when I looked for a back-up battery, bound I could get a whole second drill for the same price and did.
