Do the ends of the support arms flip up to act as a stop when I want to cut several pieces the same length?

The end pieces move up and they can be used as stops, but I find they are a bit "wiggly" and seem cheaply constructed. I do not rely totally on them for stops; I clamp a piece of wood to the arm and make it as firm as possible. Maybe the one I got is not as well built as the ones used by the authors of the other two answers.

The ends lock and unlock to slide out, and each end can slide up and down. The range is about 12 inches.

Yes, the ends of both support arms have a piece that slides up to act as a stop.

Yes. Both ends have a good stable slide that can be used as a dead stop. I purchased one of these for work and loved it so much that I also purchased one for home a year later.

Yes, the ends have a taper and corners aren't sharp . My wife only has use of her left side, and she occasionally uses this to transfer from wheel chair to an easy chair.

No. There is a screwed side but does not tighten the pivot. I just tried it. I have not had any reason to. They have remained tight for two years and continue to cut well, even through chicken parts/bone while cutting a whole chicken. These are Great Kitchen Shears. I would recommend them to any one.

Mine does not, the newer ones may, when I get to the end, I just go slow, put the smallPieces in, I have never cut my self.

No. I think that this is a design flaw. You have to end up cutting up the last piece

I don't remember for sure, but I think mine had a little loose 'tail' sticking out. But...you don't need that. You can just loosen a piece with your fingers and cut...it doesn't really make a difference, except that you may end up with a short piece eventually.

Yes, just as you see in the picture. Heavy duty rails that might need support at the end depending on how heavy your frame is. On my Harbor Freight table saw, they tip the table over.

Hi Elisa, You can forgo the top part, but it gives more stable to the unit overall. Not quite sure if you going with out the top part. If your not gonna use the top part and rail, you could get a fine hacksaw and cut away the upper arms and use plastic tabs to where the cut is made. Hope this helped, have a good day!! gary

Yes, and the clip can be flipped to the other end if you prefer to have the folded blade up vs down.

You can cut on the "wrong" side but you will see the screws that hold it together.

the cutting edges of the tool are beveled both sides but i get a near flush cut with the whole cutter as opposed to trying to nibble the same cut with another tool.

they are dead stops and the bevel stops are like pivoting stops so they are all pretty solid. When you want whatever angle you lock into place, very hard to move unless you bump your whole body or anything hard against it. this is the best brand of jobsite saw out there.

I am not sure, I have not yet had to do this... I will say the longer pieces I've had yo cut because it is a more compact saw with less surface area, you will need table saws or a person to help hold it up.

Yes, the supports extend out and are height adjustable. The material stops flip up or down without effecting the height of the support.

There's a good size circular button (I think its green) located on the housing near the blade that you push in which enables tilting the cutting angle.

If the tilt is the wrong direction then cut from the opposite direction. I really love the cordless saw .I might use it as often as my corded saw. Allen R.

Yes this item has a tapered end that I found helpful doing detail work. Hope that helps.
