will it cut through metal?

Yes, without any trouble. I use it to cut through rose quartz. I wouldn't want to cut up sheet metal with it, but for nails or small bits it should be fine.
939037
not sure. but that's not what it's for so it would be a waste. it would ruin the blade fast. there are plenty of cutter wheels specifically for metal. reserve this for glass , ceramic , stone

Yes, but that is an expensive option. Use the composite wheels which are way less expensive and designed for that option.

You need to purchase a chop saw if you want to cut metal. This saw is only suitable for wood.

It will cut it the rail. I used this to cut sheet metal for roofing it is really noisy but cuts good.

As long as the apple is not bigger than the inner circle of the cutter, yes it will slice through. I have had no issues with this.

Yes, it will cut through anything that a regular utility knife will cut. It uses standard utility knife blades.

If the material is steel it will cut it. I imagine it would also cut any metal that can conduct electricity although I hear that cutting aluminum requires the use of a gas or gas mix rather than compressed air to blow the slag out of the cut for a cleaner cut. You could still use compressed air but the cut will need refining more. The main issue with this cutter is that you must have a compressed air source with enough PSI and tank volume to keep up with the cutter. I got a DeWalt 200 PSI air compressor, I think it was 1.5 HP, to work with the cutter. Also, the air has to be dry. So I had to buy a dessicator to run the air through to give me very dry air. That cost me about $500. New compressor was about $250-300. Cutter itself is $1,500 so total is a little over $2,000. BUT it has made cutting steel SO MUCH EASIER. Just did a project that required many small holes in 3/16" steel angle iron. It would have taken me days and easily more than a dozen drill bits and messy oil, etc. to cut all those holes. Plasma cutter can cut each hole in about 3 seconds. i cut them all in a about 30 minutes.

No. It will make the cut, but it does not follow a straight line very well unless the tool (NOT THE BLADE) is supported securely. You can't use a blade-guide because the carbide cutting blade will make short work of anything it contacts...including a metal straight-edge.

This saw uses a hack saw blade. Most hack saw blades are made with small teeth for cutting metal. I have used my saw to cut through nails. I would be confident that it would cut through all but the most hardened metals. So it should cut through your screws unless they had been hardened to make them more tamper proof.

Never tried that, but I assume it has the power to do so. You might have to use several blades. I know I used a similar saw several years ago to cut through a shock absorber that was stubborn. Make sure you wear eye protection. My friend had severe eye damage from the metal shavings on a job he was doing. Not a smart move on his part....!

Never tried cutting metal but it does have variable speed so with a metal cutting blade it SHOULD work. I have mine on 8/4 cherry and 6/4 maple and it cuts great.

Not really, it would cut it, but probably light it on fire, it is for steel

You need to have good contact to metal. If it's a well painted it won't conduct and you won't be able to cut.

Yes, it can, but it is made primarily for cutting non-ferrous metals and plastics.

Yes. It says sharp much longer than a typical metal blade. About 10x longer from my experience.

While I have not tried to cut metal with this saw, I think I'm safe saying the blades are for wood. Just as there are different blades for power saws cutting metal, I'm sure the regular blade would need to be replaced in the Stanley. I would not buy this saw to cut metal.

Yes, this device will more than handle any cut through wood. For a tougher metal cut however you may need to put a high speed steel or carbide bit into it. Different style cutting tools will be needed for the various cuts you're talking about. I would recommend eye/ face protection; this product it's very powerful.

It is made out of light weight metal. It should cut easily with metal shears.
