I do not own an electric saw, so when I purchase lumber I have it cut to size. Of the 23 listed pieces of lumber, are there a lot of extra cuts?

There are 23 pieces of lumber but when cut there are many more. Its a great garden, but it does take some time to assemble. If you have it cut at the hardware store, choose one where customer service is such that they actually care about what they are doing for you. I would take the directions and talk to them about whether they are willing to help. Even so you may end up returning more than once to get all of the pieces you require. Also it took lots of dirt to fill, we had some on hand and it took an additional 40+ 2SF bags to fill. All that said our garden is bonkers and we are enjoying it every day.

It is limited because the tile will hit the frame of the saw on the left. I just did a job with 6x24 tiles on the diagonal and I had to be quite creative to make all my cuts around the floor vents. It does help that you can make plunge cuts similar to a miter saw. Overall this is a very nice saw. But may not be the right saw for large format tiles.

I don't I haven't found any specifically cut to fit, but you can go to Home Depot & buy as much of it as you want. You just have to cut it to fit.

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.

Really depends on what you'll be doing with it. I looked at sliding saws too, and just couldn't come to terms with paying the money. If you're planning on just cutting 2x4s or 2x8's etc you'll be fine.

You will need 4 ea. 3/4 in ply...(I used Oak), 2 sheets of 1/4 in ply, in solid wood( poplar,pine, maple etc.) 3/4 x 1 1/2 in about 75 linear ft. You can do it with a good blade on circular saw with good straight edge. Kreg has one that hooks on to your saw for around $30.

Sure. You can make whatever dimenion you wish. Just set it up to make the cut, turn the log and set your next cut whatever size you desire. I recommend the use of no less than a mid to high power (more horsepower the better) chainsaw and a nice sharp chain.

There are a number of different saw blades available depending on the project to be done. I bought an additional assortment and pack of wood cutting blades, but the saw itself does not come with a blade.

Yes, this saw will do 2x4s or 2x6s, for example, but I'd keep in mind that the saw probably is not for 3x3 or larger wooden posts. I'm just guessing on the largest size, however, from the size of the blade and overall size of the unit. This saw easily cuts paneling, however. Two blades come with the saw: a coarse blade for wood, and a fine-tooth blade for metal and plastic or PVC piping. So far the saw has done a great job for various tasks, and it's very compact and comfortable to use. I've used it mainly for planks about an inch thick, and fallen tree branches that need to be trimmed.

It has blades that come with it. There's a blade to cut wood that also comes with it. Thats the blade i used to cut my 3/4 plywood.

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.

A 2x6 or a 4x4. But this is really meant for detail trim work. I would use a cutoff saw with a fine blade for wood that size.

The saw that I purchased came with two (2) 25" tracks also-and these are interchangeable with the Grizzly tracks. The saw will use the 6-1/4" Festool saw blades also. I also see that the Grizzly track saw is only $179 and track sections are $50. The good thing about the Grizzly saw beside the price is that you can get replacement parts while the Scheppach parts are difficult or impossible to find.Have a good day!

Yes I cut pressure treated lumber all day long with my cordless makita 18 v saw. It's a good blade and you can't beat the price.

Yes but they don't supply a lot of oil so I'd suggest getting a big jug of bar/chain oil (SAE 30). Walmart sells them pretty cheap or Amazon. This saw is a beast for being electric. I bought an extra replacement chain just in case but I've never had to put it on. I've easily limbed 1-2 cords of firewood already and the trees were 3-8 inches thick on average. I've done a few 8-12 inch trees and it requires a little more work so overall my opinion is that this saw best suits trees 8-10 inches thick or less. Overall I'm very pleased with the saw because I rarely ever need to cut anything thicker than 8-10 inches.

No, but look at it this way: it's $25 and it is specifically designed to do exactly what it should. You are likely worth more than $25/hour and it will take you longer than an hour to make your own. Plus, it looks better than one out of scrap lumber.

Mine did not. I purchased my 8' wooden post at Home Depot. Also ask them to cut it to size for you, they can cut it much faster than you trying it back at home. The wood is "wet" and their saw is much more powerful.
