is it capable of cutting clock gears, pinions.

The prefered method is to use an indexing device. This is not included with the combo mill. I bought an 3" rotary table (from india on EBay and fitted it to an angle plate. ) The table has some accuracy problems but it works fine for my needs (building small engine models).

Sure! It cuts easily with scissors. I used this in a mine craft themed bedroom for my son, as a rug. ... it is a hit!

Sorry. I never checked. However, based on the battery power, I doubt it. I am a "lady" and have found multiple uses for this tool; but I never intended on any heavy-duty use.

Yes. It has the speed adjutment and power needed. I use it more for cutting steel than wood. Designed more for serious DIYer than commercial use, however.

From the way I used it, yeah. It ought to be able to do 1000 holes. It's very heavy, so it's probably made out of solid steel (no wonder, because it literally used it to punch a few hundred holes in solid steel sheets). It uses these little interchangeable heads to pierce holes in whatever material and there are a lot of moving parts. If you keep it all greased up then it'll probably give you more than that.

If all you wanted to do is cut a bolt- yes this would do it. I personlly think you wouldn't need something quite as good though, this would have a more speed than you might need given the diameter of the cut off wheel. I would recommend using a small wheel so you can maintian control. If you don't need it for various grinding, porting , poishing needs, you could probably get a way with something much cheaper.

Sure, and it has its own clamps for small work. Very wee built and stays accurate during drilling.

Yes, with a tile cutting wheel. I've even seen them mounted on frames to make lots of cuts.

This could be used for that purpose, but turning a bunch of hardware with the various wrenches on this tool might be a pain in the ass. It is a very bulky thing to have to twirl over and over.

I use mine to cut both wood and plastic model parts so it should do the job for you.

Not really. This is for finesse work where you need to do something delicate - undercut a door jamb, for instance. For lumber, either a circular saw or a chop saw, depending upon you exact application.

It has pretty heavy duty metal gears. Now that I have used it for a couple months, I would not give it up.

It is possible, but very difficult. The tool is not made for it. You'll destroy some of the metal of the tool when doing it. Best thing is to use a wooden board, put the chain on top, and use a hammer.

There are really two issues here. First, are the cutting tips hard enough to cut the material. If it's carbide-tipped, yes. If it's just high speed steel, you might get away with a few time. Check with Dewalt's website. The second, and more problematic issue is whether you have enough torque with your driver. There are alot of cutting teeths contacting the surface all all one. Multiply by the 2" lever arm, that's alot of torque. Cutting wood and plaster is okay. But cutting steel, that's alot of force. And a related severe problem is with the precession of the cutting point, which tend to make holding this thing difficult by hand. I used mine to cut through 3/4" thick wood. It was already wobbling a bit. With steel, it'll be a bigger problem. With a 4" diameter, it'll be worse.

Yes it can but a tile saw would give you easier and better cuts. It will cut any kind of stone,ceramic or porcelain

Yes. This is the most versatile tool I have ever owned. The best feature is the blade advance control, if you want aggressive cutting swivel the lever to 3, for delicate cuts (thin ply) set it to 1. I use this so much I burnt out my first one and am now on my second. I would buy this tool if it cost twice as much.

YES! This is a very versatile tool and can be used in several differant ways. great tool for the money!
