Can the cut depth be adjusted? Like, I want to be able to cut through wood paneling or drywall but NOT hit the underlying studs.

No. I thought of various ways without success. I ended up buying the Rockwell Versacut saw. It has a depth adjustment up to 1". Very good saw and easy to control versus the Rotozip which I consider close to money wasted. With the rotozip, I used it to cut cement /wonderboard with success since accuracy isn't a problem and thinset will cover it anyway. For finish cut on paneling, go with the Rockwell which also comes with guides. For your info, Rockwell Versacut is a safer tool to operate than the Rotozip bcz the blade retracts.

By rotating the blade guard, you could set an approximate depth of cut. You would have to hold the saw at a constant angle to achieve a constant depth of cut. My motor burned up after third use. Don't buy!

No, this tool can't even find studs behind 1/2" drywall. Don't think it has any chance of finding nails in the studs

As far as I can tell, it can be adjusted for depth. I am just not sure how deep. If you can cut the whole square. It must be square for this door to work properly. Off by just a bit and the door sticks!Hope this helps, good luck!

The depth of the knives is not adjustable. I would write to Weston in regard to the replaceable portion of your question.

Yes,you should be able to as each piece is adjustable...ie, just adjust it so far out of the way so it doesn't slice.

No, it does not officially have an adjustable depth. However, I just flip the wheels back to the locked position if I wish to control how deep of a cut I am making and find that works well for me.

I've been able to cut through a 2x3 on it's side, and all 2x4 and 2x6 cedar/fir. Just feel the resistance of the wood and take er slow!

Yes I am sure you could. Simply cut off a few inches on each piece. The issue is the spring loaded insert that goes through the holes to determine the length. It probably could be moved with a pop rivot.

No, not for cutting in place, need to angle at the bottom and bit may not reach. Very difficult for cabinet kick toe especially. Better by using a multi tool for flush cuts at 3/4 in or whatever depths.

If this saw does not have a rigid back (like a Back-saw) then, yes it can cut wood that thick. However, accuracy will be tough. I would try a table saw first, even if I had to make a special jig to allow for the size of the window. Best wishes, Robt. P.S. I mention the rigid-back because I have many pull-saws for different uses and I do not remember what this specific saw looks like; I am not fluent in Japanese! RW

I am not sure what you mean by settings but there is attachments that regulate the length of the cut. If you want 3/8 left you have an attachment or 1/4 etc

The width is not adjustable. It is fixed at 53". However if you have the ability to cut the horizontal bars cleanly I suppose it could be customized. The depth is 21.25" and is also fixed.

Yes. You can set the depth of the cut but the groove would have to go all the way across the board unless you're ok with a groove that does not end cleanly.

No adjustments can be made. Would need to cut it with the right type of saw.

No, definetly do not try to adjust anything. The blades are difficult to put in purposefully. I put mine in by striking the end of the blade (not to hard) on my workbench top. Basically the opposite of removing the blade.

I have set mine to cut 1/8" birch plywood. I have even cut less to cut in a area to lay decorative copper wire. I do not know off the top of my head the max depth. I do not know if it will cut the short side of a 2X4. The gauge is easy to set! I like mine. I do say that you need to use it a few times to get used to its quirky way of always needing to plunge cut everything.

Funny...I purchased it thinking the same thing; that I could cut sections and use; however, that can't be done. It is connected to an electric source; therefore, any cut section would be useless.
