What thickness of wood will this machine cut?

It can give you a nice cut on any 1/2" piece of wood and 1/3" in softer woods such as redwood or maple. If you have any more questions feel free to call me directly at 407-468-6614. My name is Milena. Thank you

For 4 to 6 inch thickness I would go with a bigger bandsaw. This will cut 4 inch stock ok but I cut a lot of exotics and the denser woods really slow this bandsaw down to where I wish I'd got a larger model. For 2 to 3 inch and a good blade it works good. I use it for cutting my lathe wood down to a rounded blank for turning.

65 Thickness and you should only use 65 as works best. I have no problem. Cuts thick St Augustine very well.

I don't know the exact thickness but it was exactly the same as the Craftsman blade I replaced.

It varies with the type of wood, blade and feed speed. In hardwood, 3/4" is no problem, but 1" is probably pushing it. In soft pine/spruce I've cut 1 1/2" with a slow feed and no problems. In a material like Balsa it will cut whatever thickness you can fit under the blade holder. Be aware the thicker the material, the slower the speed & feed rate and the coarser the tooth count on the blade. It really comes down to blade type, motor speed and feed. I like the Olsen and Flying Dutchman blades.

The saw has a maximum cutting depth of 3/4-inch. Most 3/4" plywood has a total thickness of less than 3/4", so the saw would probably be capable of handling that thickness, but it would be wise to actually check the depth, prior to purchasing.

This machine is for surface planing,(smoothing) the flat face of the timber. It won't eliminate any dimensional problems, such as twist,or bow. It is NOT designed to surface edges, foe that you will also need a jointer

Of course the blade needs to be appropriate, but the saw has plenty of torque and certainly I have had no issue in up to 1" thickness in all the mentioned materials. That is not to say that you could not go thicker, just have not used it over 1".

I just measured the blade thickness with my micrometer and it says .2 inches.

I have used it to cut 3/4 inch (19mm) oak flooring. Plus it cut deep enough to cut the underlayment as well. So up to 20 or 21mm is no problem. Cuts very fast. Make sure you have the right blade (wood) and have a vacuum handy as it make a lot of saw dust. Good Luck.

It will cut hard wood up to a certain thickness. Probably not good for this model, but there are better models that open up to accommodate a thicker plank. See the Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Cs9Hi0Nxo

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

The saw is ok for use with thin wood. It will stall and jam with use of thicker plywood, and treated wood

The blade thickness is 0.10 inch. Please consider This That & WhatNots for your future purchases!!

I used it to dry cut pavers and termite block. Anything over 4 inches thick is pushing the limits of the blade.

The blade has an adjustable height and I've used it on hardwood boards as thick as 1" (full 5/4) .. While I haven't used it on thicker wood, it may work, but I don't recommend using it on anything thicker (this is true for any of these). Use a table saw if you can for thicker than 5/4.

The length between the blade and the wood is one and a half inches. So that is the max thickness you can have. You can make it as thin as you want.
