Does it cut a 1/8 wide kerf?

I'm considering one of these - and the 1/8th inch kerf is very important as narrower blades cause binding on standard riving knives - probably the most significant safety feature on table saws.

1/8 inch kerf measures 0.125 inches. This blade actually measures 0.098 inches on my digital calipers. So the answer is that it this blade is about 0.025 narrower standard kerf blade. Great blade. Was so impressed with the cut that purchased another for my 10 miter saw. Cuts great on that as well. Looking at getting a similar blade for my 12 inch miter saw.

Yes it does and because it's made with their tri-metal it is nothing short of a miracle cut, even the sound of it is amazing.

No its not quite 1/8 probably closer to 5/64 or 3/32 its a thin kerf blade I've got two they're great blades

Yes I believe so. It states it will cut 8 in steel, which requires the biggest welding tips. I use propane for my torch, so that should be considered too.

my husband said yes it would but to take your time and if it starts heating up to stop and let it cool off then finish. he has cut 1/4 inch with no problem or heating up.

Perhaps not since it takes strength to cut through steel. It depends what you are cutting, too. This is a wonderful tool since it will cut through steel that is half inch in width.

The kerf is the size of the cut the blade takes out of the wood. The smaller the kerf the better for more accurate cuts.

I really don't know. It does have attachments that measure 1/2 inch but the blade are a little resist in the head.

No, it will only cut material up to 9" wide. It's designed to cut a boards length, like when you get to the other wall in the room.

No. It has 8 straight edge guides that go from 1/8" (#1) to 1" (#8) in 1/8" increments.

I would have to say No. The Kabar blade for which it was made is 1 3/16" wide & 3/16" thick. It's a perfect fit. No wiggle room.

We use ours for a 8.5 inch long and 1.75 inch wide at the widest part of the blade. It's a Winchester bowie knife.

Yes. Just enough depth of cut to handle 2" (really 1 1/2 inch) stock. This is not a powerful saw but it is extremely convenient. You won't frame a house with it but I use it frequently. It's my tool of choice for cutting 4'x8' sheet stock into manageable size pieces.

Yes it does, I used this knife to clean a couple turkeys and it worked like a charm. It's lightweight, I thought it was a little bigger than it is but overall it's a great blade.

I used it on 1/2" engineered and it worked fine. don't see any reason why it wouldn't do 5/8" . good tool for the price

Not when installed on my saw - can cut just under 2 1/2 inches - have to use a wedge in the cut to snap Can only cut about 2 1/2 inches deep - have to use wedges to expand the cut or if possible cut from the other side,

What is it you want to do? Almost any of these knives can make a 1/8th inch cut. Are you carving figrures, reliefs, or woodcuts?? I am msainly a woodcut artist. These tools are fine for all those purposes. Learn to keep them sharp. If you have more questions, email me at nicholascrome@yahoo.com. Or phone 812 339 2245.

Hi. In answer to your question, the blade itself is 1 1/2", (1.5"), wide. The effective cutting width when affixed to the tool appears to be 1 5/32" at best. The tool has good heft to it and if your leather is firmly secured you might get close to what your target is. Try it on a scrap piece first. Good Luck, Joe D.

It will cut 12x12 paper - the cutting area measures about 12 1/4" - so you have a little wiggle room. It doesn't go down to 1/8 in increments - 1/4 in only. But it does have metric measurements listed.
