What's the maximum thickness of material this saw can handle?

Manual says 1.5 inches. I've cut 2x4s no problem.The frame miter attachment says .75 inches on thickness.

it is a good question. I haven't used to cut ceramic tile yet. I will try my later and get back to you soon. thanks

We returned the saw as it was inadequate to do the job, but a 2 x 4 is about what it can handle, so 1 1/2" thick.

I'm not quite sure what the dimensions are on what your trying to cut especially the thickness. I've used mine on travertine which is very hard and it cut just fine. It's all in the blade. I've used this type of blade on a circular type saw and able to cut concrete patio blocks. You would be limited on thickness with this saw.

The maximum cutting depth of this saw is 3/4". It would not be able to cut a 2x2.

I don't know what the manufacturer claims as the maximum cutting thickness, but in my experience this tool will easily cut 1/4" shoots, it may cut 1/2", but it would definitely not be able to cut a 1-inch branch. For that you would normally need a lopper. Nevertheless, I find this tool very useful for extending my reach to prune the new shoots on the wisteria growing on a pergola in our back yard, as well as small branches on other plants. There is a saw blade attachment available for cutting heavier branches. I like this pruner, and would recommend it for light trimming.

The max. cutting depth of this saw is 6 1/2 inches with the blade provided. As for steel posts, I think it was designed for timber framing wood. Abrasive cut off blade might work. Do they come in the 16 inch size?

Inch boards are about as far as I want go with this. Nice little saw, it would probably cut more thickness but would be slow. I use a band saw for thick stuff.

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

approx. 3" would be the max thickness of work bench. Anything thicker would put the working part of the vise below the surface of the workbench.

I have not used it for more than One half inch thick steel but it worked great. I'm sure it would handle much thicker material.

It's really really thick. Maybe even 1/4 inch. I can't imagine anything breaking this beast.

It's not made for that application, so I wouldn't try it. Might work for a while, but I imagine you'd ruin the saw pretty quickly with cement dust and such.

i have to raise hieght of saw for claerence. which is not a problem as that the saw blade should be set to 1/8 past thickness of material working with. thin material great,thick not so good.i really do like working with this tool,

1.5 inches is pretty much the thickest you want to atempt on this scroll saw.

I have never measured blade thickness but it is close to 1/32". Flexing of the blade shouldn't be a problem since it is designed to cut on the pull stroke. I have enjoyed using mine. It leaves a much smoother cut edge than traditional push stroke saws (even the Gentleman's Dovetail saw). Hope this helps.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

It will rip a 2x4, which would be the max for dimensional lumber. I've ripped wider boards by flipping over after 1 cut then making another cut from the other end. Just make sure to line the cuts up exactly.
