will this cut through 1/2" oak?

I cut thought 3/4 inch hardwood composit. It took some effort and a strong drill but it worked.

no because oak is very strong wood.also i use this on 1/2 in plywood and broke. it's best that you buy a quality brand for oak like the milwakee brand. i hope i answer your question.

I used it to cut through a 1/2 plywood sheet and had to give the hole saw a break half way between. Of course oak is harder so you might want to rest it more. Even though it takes time (maybe 20 minutes for one hole) it gives you a perfect circle instead of using a jig saw and having uneven edges. Best of luck!

We used 1/2 in plywood and it cut nice. I do not think you would have any problems with oak.

If you are patient and have a steady hand, yes it should do the trick. Don't plan on getting through too many before it wears down though.

It cannot cut 2 inch! it might be able to cut 1 1/2 inch balsa wood! Don't waste your money on this saw

I think it will only cut 10", but if you are really good with the saw, you can turn the board over and cut the 2" piece that's left on the board. I've never tried it, but maybe someone else has.

yes it will, if you cut the boards twice. I use this saw to cut 5/4" by 6" decking into thinner planks for some trim things on jobsites. You will have to go slow and make sure you keep the material straight and plumb. Only other tools I own that i could make a cut like that with are band saw (stuck at a shop) or planer (take forever and make too much dust). Maybe not what this saw was intended for but it works great. Get a sharp good blade and you it will work no problem.

It will, but may not leave the cleanest cut. I would not recommend this saw for 'finish' work like that. I use this for rough edges like installing electrical outlets where the rough edges are covered by a finish plate.

The maximum cutting depth of this saw is 3/4". It would not be able to cut a 2x2.

It will cut about 3-3/4" first cut.But I always dig the material out of the hole saw or chisel out the hole as needed as many times as I need.

Yes. My flooring was a little more than 1/4 in but not quite a 1/2 in and I was cutting it with no problem what so ever. So I know it can cut 1/2 in. Again a great tool makes installing laminated flooring a breeze.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

I really don't know. It does have attachments that measure 1/2 inch but the blade are a little resist in the head.

It will not cut 1/2" steel effectively; especially tool steel. However, if you want to cut a small amount and have the appropriate blade then it will probably get the job done. I personally would not consider it as an option for routine use unless I had no other choice.

For me it depends on the wood. I have 2" basswood that the cuts right through, the bass is soft though. Also I have 2' oak that it will cut, but much patience is needed. I didn't pay attention to the clearance but as I remember with 2" wood it wasn't an issue.

1/2" branches may be pruned with ease. Larger diameter branches may be cut also, but it may take some grip strength to do so.

It will but not well. Chopping small branches is easy but the shape of the head and the small blade prevent larger cuts. Works great as a hammer though

Probably not; the saw body is not svelte. The cut would be canted down toward the end of the blade. Best to just cut it level 1" off the deck, then use a grinder to get flush.

Yes, it won't just blow through it, but it will cut it. If you're cutting a lot of it, a band saw would work better.

I'm not sure, based on my experience cutting thin wall steel tubing, cutting 1/2" SS will be very slow.
