What is the capacity of this blade when cutting hardwood...can I cut 2 3/4" stock?

Yes, sir, indeed you can. I would make the cut on my 12" miter box with a relatively slow feed rate. You will be very pleased at how clean and splinter-free a cut this blade makes.

Yes, If you have a unit to power it. Measure it's elevated height above the table and don't put it on something not meant power it. I use mine on a twelve inch miter saw.

I believe that you should refer to your saw manual for cutting capacity - it can vary from saw to saw.

I was able to cut through pressure treated 4x4's with mine, I even cut through PT 6x6 with it. You have to turn it, but it will do it.

Easily--I do it with my Bosch compound slider. I'm sure it's strong motor helps too!

Yes and no, as the blade can handle it, but the saw you mount it on dictates the usable capacity.

"the cutting depth is 1 3/16, cutting material up to 2 inches thick". That is a quote right from the box. Your cutting depth is limited because of the bar that holds the two cutting blades.

3/4" red oak will be very dense so I would try strong saw blades with the teeth spaced quite widely apart. Use a slow speed on the scrollsaw for hard, thick wood as you describe. When using the scrollsaw, try it on a scrap first and if it works as desired, then on your project.

When I use a 2" hole saw, it seems to lack power, I have used a 9/16th's forstner drill bit and it worked well. I have worked with red oak.

It can cut a 2x4 , but as you know a 2x4 is really just a little less in dimensions. I find that this guy can do all I expect. However, it is not a heavy duty unit. If your looking for everyday heavy use then don't buy it. if you are looking for a good all around small unit for your wood shop then buy it. I love it.

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

The top two slots are 2 inches wide, max, so a 2 1/4 inch blade would be too wide. Too bad, because it's a nice block.

I assume by "cutting" you mean slotting into block/plate stock. From a horsepower and MRR point of view, you couldn't go 3/4 deep in one run. For a single end mill, you don't want to go 3/4 deep slotting in a single pass with anything that fits in a R-8 collet. This is from just looking at the specifications -- I don't have this exact mill -- but the general power needs for various cuts are reasonably well documented on the Internet.

i live in Australia i don't know what Durock is but with the right blade it will cut i use my to cut 4" by 2" but i would not use it to frame a whole house

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

I use it for that exact purpose on thicker stock 1"-4" but yeah it would work. I think they make an extra fine blade also, it would probably be better for thin stock.

This jig will work on stock 2 1/4" thick. I love the jig and happened to have used it just today. I sometimes use it with some 3/8" pointed inserts (sorry I don't remember their names) for mating the dowel holes to uneven stock. The unique feature of this jig to center the drilling guide to the stock is unsurpassed. I know it is expensive, but it is very well built and I know of no other centering jig of its equal. I would definitely buy it again.

if your table saw can cut 3-1/8" with a 10 inch blade, it can only cut to 2-1/8" with this blade, simple math

I haven't run anything smaller than 1/4" round steel, so I truthfully can't say what the smallest stock size might be. My instinct is that this tool might be a bit coarse for the work you're considering.

With the stock sharpness it can really only cut 1-1.5" limbs and small trees. I sharpened it further with a grinding wheel and can get 2-2.25" in about 3-5 whacks depending on the wood, any larger and its time for the hatchet.

The blade is 7 1/4, you can do it but in multiple passes. Go easy on it if you are cutting hardwood, it's a very small motor
