The saw is meant to be used as a handheld dry saw. I've used it to cut ceramic tile. It works great, but is very loud when cutting and makes lots of dust. I don't know of anyway to make it work like a wet saw using water to cool and lubricate the blade. Doing so might be dangerous, anyway -- perhaps even producing electrical shock or shorting out the motor.

It cannot be used as a wet saw, it is a dry saw only. It cuts great, but there is a great deal of dust. Wear a face mask and glasses.

absolutely NO. the saw chips small tile. I had to get a wet saw to do my tile work

I think you can, but this may be more than you need for a single yard project. There are cheap non sliding 10' chop saws that may not be much more heavy.

Yes. You xan use either an abrasive blade (cheap) or a diamond tip metal-cutting blade (very expensive). Either way you will need to go slow but the saw has plenty of power for the job.

Not sure if it can but I do not recommend this chain saw. It has been a head ache for me. I wish I spent the extra money and got a better brand.

Never tried that, but I assume it has the power to do so. You might have to use several blades. I know I used a similar saw several years ago to cut through a shock absorber that was stubborn. Make sure you wear eye protection. My friend had severe eye damage from the metal shavings on a job he was doing. Not a smart move on his part....!

No. The blade is too small for that job unless the frame material is light and very narrow. This is mainly a small light duty cutoff saw. I use mine to make 90 degree cut offs on arrow shafts. I hope this helped.

I suppose you could. I use a Milwaukee 10" saw designed for metal . It is designed to keep the metal shards contained. After reading other peoples concerns regarding the weight and power of the saw, I would have to agree with them. I use it as a beam cutter and I do use a clamp guide with it.

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

I have not used it for that purpose.The motor would handle soft wood but I don't think you will get a straight cut as youwould with a different saw.

I have not assembled my saw yet. Best answer I can give is probably. Contact the compny that sells the brand here. They were quick to answer my questions last year.

Yes you can but it's difficult. You would not benefit from the splinter free cut of the track. In fact, many of the features of the saw are a result of track integration. Without the track, it's sort of an unwieldy circular saw. I think I rather go with the circular saw vs. a track saw with no track.

This is a tough saw and should be able to do it. I have not actually tried it myself.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

you can, but i'd recommend just getting an adjustable one. unless you have a circular saw or a way to keep the same angle it can be frustrating. I used a dremmel, and eventually got it to fit after cutting ~1" off. not worth the effort.

Chop saws that can use a carbide blade seem to be specific. I wouldn't chance it even if you found one that fit

I am not sure but don't think motor is strong enough. This saw is for pretty small light stuff and just not sure on that sorry.

You could put a metal cutting blade and use it that way, I think you could use this with wood cutting blade. The blades can be found at most home centers, there isn't specific part number, just have a 1" arbor.
