Can this cut rock for a retaining wall? I have plenty of rock around my yard and Im trying to find a way to cut it so i can shape it for a nice retaining wall

This product is a wet saw for cutting tiles. It can be used to cut stone/pavers, but that is not its primary design. If you are intending to cut an entire wall's worth of stone, I would look to a more industrial product. Of course it also depends on the hardness of the stone in question.

The type of material it will cut is determined by the type of blade you use, not the machine. The machine determines the size of the material. A good diamond blade will cut almost anything, if it will fit into the saw!

I used for porcelain tile only. So I do not know but I never found tile shaw like this. Works great!!

That certainly is an idea along with something I would consider using my own imagination.However if you trim it to shape. You would be removing the side wall from were you cut. This could affect the filtration through the gravel to the side only that's missing. If you can replace the sides think it would have kick but gravel filtration. Smaller surface area. Stronger flow. Keeps the crap from building up in the gravel. Cleaner tank

I would be inclined to say no, but I haven't tried to cut sheetrock. It might have the power to do it, but I am not sure which bit you would use.

Yes. You will need a guide to cut a straight line. Take your time. The saw will cut single pass. But to avoid chipping the edge from overheating the stone, I would recommend making a couple passes. Cut the stone outside on saw horses. It will make a mess. Use water. Will only take a few minutes to make this cut. Good Luck!

i bought oneand put it in the recycle bin after using it for a while. it will put an edge on a knife,but not a good edge. i could use a flat rock or brick and do just as well.

will work but you have to put a 2x4 on wall to sit rock on then tilt it into wall. it will save you time, effort, and backpain. For the price of the tool it is well worth it.

I really don't know. What I do know is that when it is put in an active hole. The hole becomes inactive and they aren't a problem burrowing around my terraced back yard. As a result, my supporting walls aren't being eroded.

I've used this rake in to keep weeds out of my garden and it works great. I haven't tried it on heavy clay soils but I think it won't work well. The blade would probably have trouble cutting the soil and the whole rake may not be strong enough to endure that kind of punishment. You are better off using another tool to break up the clay. After the clay is properly mulched, this rake would work well.

Works very well on gravel, I guess that depends on the user. I own my own landscape company and have several. Very well built and a huge time saver. hope that helped.

There are a number of youtube videos that demonstrate how to use a stone like this. None of them are really wrong so pick one you like and use it. The most important thing is to be consistent. Keep your blade consistently angled and you can't go wrong.

To start, i am not the best person to answer this question. but i will answer as my limited knowledge allows. from what ive done it is POSSIBLE to cut through glass, however very difficult. i did manage to make a hole in my glass beer bottle that i was testing this product on, but it took quite a bit of effort and time. i am not sure if rocks would be easier or harder (i seem to think it would be more difficult and want to say no, but i have not tried on rocks) i hope this answer gets your through until a better more experienced reviewer can answer more exact and knowledgeably.

Not sure if it works for anything....it's rock and all I could ever tell it a rock....go outside and get a rock that is the right size and give it magical qualities and use instead of paying for a square rock....I serious

Currently I'm using it for digging sandstone here in SoCal. It would be o.k for digging around the roots..........but it will not cut wood. I dig around the roots then use an electric chain saw to cut them. Remember, keep saw chain out of the dirt.........It will kill in short order.

I'd be surprised if this tool would do that kind of job. My experience is that it would only go an inch or two in clay soils before it got stopped by the cuttings. The augur itself was not useful in getting the cuttings out of a hold in clay. I could get the cuttings out of a shallow (2 foot deep) hole with a clamshell-type post hole digger, but that would not work for a deep hole. Maybe a shop vac could vacuum or blow them out, but I doubt it would work for larger cuttings, which seemed to be what we got when digging into clay. If you could get it to work it would take FOREVER.

I have not used it on rocky soil. If the rocks are large I would not use it. If the rocks are small (like gravel) and the soil is damp, then it would be good. This tool loosens soil, it does not turn it over like a roto tiller. Probably a roto tiller would be better for very rocky soil.
