Can I use this blade to cut 3/8" off the bottom of a hollow core steel door? (door is scraping newly installed hardwood flooring)

No problem to cut, but what are your plans to keep the steel shell from puckering after you cut the connecting end off? In any event, it will cut the steel easily but if the bottom contains an internal wood frame, it may be a little smokey as the blade has no hook angle as a pure wood blade does.

Yes, it will work great, just be very steady with the saw and keep it straight.

I used it for 1/2" bellawood engineered flooring which is a laminated product multiple layers of fine plywood and an approximately an 1/8" of top layer of oak. it nailed thru the plywood. the tool is not suited for flooring thicker then 5/8". If your intent on using staples then the MIIIFS is better or a standard cleat nailer will work. avoidputting the cleats too close to the end of the board.

Oh yeah. Can't say as I have done this, but it is plenty strong. I've cut steel with this, it should do it with the appropriate blade.

I just tested it on some 1/8" foam and 1/4" foam and it worked fine. Keep the blade sharp to prevent material from sliding and you should be fine, Just a heads up - this does not come with extra blades so you may want to consider ordering them at the same time.

You can do it. 1st mark the tile with a pencil and cut the tile till it hits the saw, 2nd turn the tile around and cut from the other side. Just be sure you stay on the mark or when you get to the middle the cut will be off. Also depending on the size of the tile it may have to hang over the saw tray at the back. Watch your blade depth it may not cut all the way though when the tile is hanging over the tray and you may have to cut twice to get it to work.

The thickest that I have cut is about an inch and a quarter hardwood, had no problem, I believe you could even thicker if you took your time and not push it real hard and use sharp blades! Hope this helps !!

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)

It's a pretty hefty saw, so I don't plan on using it for cutting anything but concrete, block or brick. I know the blade that came with it can cut metal since I cut through an 8" concrete wall with 1/2" re-bar inside. No doubt a person could find a wood blade to fit it but doing that a lot could take out an operator's back since it is a heavy saw--there are a lot of lighter saws for buzzing wood.

I wouldn't think so. Laminate flooring is a softer material, and this cutter is intended for cutting brittle materials. This tool works by applying stress to the cutting line with the carbide wheel, then bending to finish the cutting process. I would imagine Laminate would need a sharp blade, or if you have an oscillating powertool, it works wonder for most material...except tiles.. :)

Remember to keep pressure with your hand on the flooring board before the blade so it doesn't spring up. You might be binding the blade. You will get a cleaner cut as well. Worked great for me!

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

Have never used tool for 3/4 flooring. I do not think it will work with that thickness

I used a Fein MM to cut out a 3/4" plywood floor I replaced. Cut was quite fine and smooth. I didn't use a straight edge, but I did have to cut along the long side of a bathtub. Using the bathtub itself as a guide was easy so I think any straight edge would be similarly easy.

I use this saw in exterior finish and cutting interior trim where th casing meets the floor. Its a pull saw--you have to be careful

not really, no. you drag the blade through the grooves... works best on a straight-edge.

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.
