Can this saw cut a 2x6 or a 4x4 in one cut?

The saw will cut a 4x4 but is just short of cutting a 2x6 in one pass unless you are willing to roll the board up at the end of the cut. Rolling the board is a practice common among carpenters but it is not accurate and IS NOT SAFE.

As others have said, it will largely depend on the material and thickness of the material you are cutting. When cutting thicker materials a longer stroke is usually preferred. The "saw dust" needs to go somewhere and with a longer stroke it pulls more sawdust out of the cut on each stroke. If you try cutting a 6X6 with a short stroke vs a long stroke the long stroke(all other things being equal) will probably cut faster because it will clear more saw dust on each stroke.

I have no problems with a 2x4. That's all I've cut so far but see no problems with it cutting a 2x6.

No. It can bearly handle a single blade. Very low quality. Spend a little more and get a good saw.

Yes, very easily. Once your saw is mounted to the rip cut and adjusted to show correct width of cut, set at 4 inches and cut away. On the second cut, ensure your saw is "riding" on the 4 inch board to help stabilize the saw better.

I have done test rip cuts in 4/4 maple and it works well, not sure if this is beyond the design. Mostly using the saw for various cross cuts (trimming plugs, end pieces) on maple and walnut. Even tried it out on bubinga and it cuts well if you go slowly. Love the canvas cover.

yes. one blade which works for general purposes. I cut through a 4x6 with the blade that came in the box.

Yes it can, you can use a small saw, but be sure to measure the height you need before doing it (there's no going back). Also, be sure to do it in a straight line, or the rubber base won't fit propperly afterwards.

Yes but it's junk unless your just cutting 2x4's for framing. My rec -buy a good blade 60-80 tooth and you will be very pleased with it's performance.

Its a heavy framing saw. Using it over your head is not recommended. Better off using a sidwinder for this. 6 1/2" skill is nice or a porta-cable 4" trim saw.Good luck!

I cut 1x6 and 2x6 cedar. It cuts a very small radius with no deflection (although the blade gets hot with tight turns) and it cuts through knots with ease. Great little saw.

It will cleanly cut a treated 4"x4". That's about max I have tried cutting wood wise.

I wouldn't recommend it. Though it may fit and function, the rather large diameter of the 'wheel' would cut down on the space available for cutting. Using it on an 8.5" saw, I doubt there would be enough blade left to cross-cut a 4x4 in a single pass. Though if you've never cut stock that large, then perhaps it won't matter.

Regardless of the stroke and column extension your limiting factor will be the length of the bit and chisel.The 3/8 and 1/2 inch bit and chisels are the only ones long enough to go through a 4x4, barely. Great machine. Buy it anyway, it will do the majority of your mortising work.

Yes, I believe so. I cut them (I think in half) and I have a 4.5x6, so if it was half not 4ths, yes.

This is a great saw and you will love it. If you want to saw 4in wood, get the 3/4 in blade and you should be fine.

If you mean, 6-inch x 1/4-inch plate, yes. If you mean 6-inch x 1/4-inch wall square box, no. Edit: Hmm. Were you to index the 6 x 6 box four times, it'd probably work. I use a 14-inch abrasive Milwaukee fitted with a wood cutting blade to cut 6x6-PT, and that requires indexing twice ... along with some decidedly "off-label" deck/vise machinations; YMMV.
