I'm cutting different size hypo tube down to .060 long. Do you think this saw will do it with an abrasive blade?

Greetings Greg... Stainless tube correct? It should cut fine... Cutting it to 0.060 is another issue... That tiny piece will likely go flying if you dont set something up to catch it...

hi greg. I have an abrasive blade installed on mine. you should be able to. if you measure correctly from either side of the blade. hope this helps

I don't know what hypo tube is. I us it on thin wall metal tubing and type L 1/2 copper pipe. I rarely cut shorter than 1". It works great for my use. That is all I can reliably say.

No expertise here... I'm a woodworker. But I find the saw tight, sufficiently powered for the small blade and easy to use. My guess is that you may want to build a jig for exact positioning. Hope this is of some helpDLH

I would say no. The speed of the blade is critical to each type of blade and the design of the saw is specific to the blade type.

I'm not sure. Check the size of the blade stabilizing washer that comes with the saw and compare it to the dimensions of the laser. I think they are listed on the Amazon page for it. Check the diameter especially. The lasers tend to be quite a bit larger in that dimension and can interfere with your depth of cut.

yes, I used it in the saw I purchased from HFT. Make sure you wear some sort of rainsuit when cutting. There is a lot of spray coming your way. A plastic bag woth arm and head holes seems to work fine. Happy cutting. Phred

Yes, I would use a fine tooth blade ,like a metal cutting blade and cut at a slow speed.

The abrasive blade will sacrifice ( use up ) itself and will cut anything. It is the expensive ($24 ) consumable part of the system.I save the tool for cuts in applications where no other tool will fit.

That is somewhat of a wide open question. The saw seems well made. I've only had mine a few weeks and used it a few times. The cuts I've made were through 2 3/8 pipe and have been accurate and quite smooth. As I've used a Makita abrasive saw for years I would expect this one to hold up as well. I will continue to use the abrasive saw for less accurate straight cuts and reserve the new saw for miter cuts or where accuracy is paramount.

Yes it will, make sure to use a wood blade. Again it's a jig saw, if you re going to be cutting a lot of particle board, and depending on the project you may want to consider a circular saw or a table saw, again it's depending on how big the project is... The jig saw is for making round cuts and more detailed cuts, if you re just making straight cuts and a lot of them a circular saw is what you'll want.. I hope that helps

not familiar with this model Dremel , but I am sure that it will work OK .Be sure to use some water while cutting .

No, the saw doesn't have particularly good control when cutting flat surfaces, particularly when the blade begins to dull. I would not recommend this saw for precision cutting.

I'm not quite sure what the dimensions are on what your trying to cut especially the thickness. I've used mine on travertine which is very hard and it cut just fine. It's all in the blade. I've used this type of blade on a circular type saw and able to cut concrete patio blocks. You would be limited on thickness with this saw.

I've cut 2" sch 40 a handful of times. I believe it would do what you want no problem. As long as you don't try to cut too fast, just let the saw do the work, the blade should hold up. Cutting slow with this saw is still 3x faster than an abrasive.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very much lower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the work without forcing the cut.

Dear inquirer. Most of us are using the Makita Blade with the Makita Saw. I find them to make quality products specifically for their own product line. Just be sure to get the correct # of teeth for the intended use. Happy Cutting--Bigfooot

The Rip Cut was designed to work with most circular saws...I use a craftsman circular saw ...but again the Rip Cut is adjustable.

I'll use wet saw (not bouncing) and good (not bouncing) glass cut blade. It depend glass hardness, but bottle glass is soft and I think that you'll get cheeps up to 1/32". Try to cut slow.

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.
