I need to rip some pressure spruce 2 x 10s, around 34 feet worth. Will this tool handle it?

This is NOT the tool for this. Not even close. Did you read the description for this tool? This is for trim work around doors, molding, etc. Can be used for more rough framing finish, but not anything for "ripping". Use a portable table saw, a hand-held corded circular saw, or a stationary table saw.

When we bought it, it was called a flush cut saw and we used it to cut the wood when putting in subflooring. I don't know if you could use it for trees. Here is a video we found on youtube that might help you, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8CY7zeq8pQ

The Bosch is a great tool but I only use it for door jams when installing a floor (hardwood) and such small jobs. I wouldn't recommend using it for a large project such as the one you referred to.

I am not completely sure. I have used it mostly for 1" plywood and smaller things. You might want a bigger gun. That being said- it is one of the best made tools that I own. Super lightweight, accurate and very well made.

I have not tried it on anything really thick yet, but I feel it would be able to get the job done. The variable speed of this unit should make it capable of the job.

The pruner has cut branches up to an inch thick. Haven't tried it on anything larger.

I do not think this saw would do a quick and satisfactory job on branches 3" to 5" thick. I've used it on 3" branches several times but think it's use is more applicable in the 1 to 2 1/2" diameter branches. Consider using a chain saw for speed and ease of cut on your branches. Note: an electric chain saw will cut your branches quite well.

I am certain it will. I have cut through some high tensile heavy duty decking nails and fasteners that are much thicker. You must remember that it is a vibration action tool so hold your workpiece well.

I have not cut a board that big with the saw. It will cut a 2 x 10 without any problem.

Yes and it will do a good job of it. Up to a half inch this unit will pick up broken bits of staples, so brads and finishing nails are picked up even further.

It won't work for ripping because it's only 12" long. They sell a rip guide as well, but I haven't purchased it yet

not well. The tool is well made and strong but it is made for cutting smaller thinner wood. this is not a corded tool replacement, rather a small jig saw helper.

The tool will work, but it won't have half as much power as it should. The tool will require more cfm.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

Yes, that this close to the upper limit of what it can cut. With 4 inch or smaller trees, you should have no problems. The tool is very safe; much safer than a regular chain saw.

yes, it would work well as long as any branch material is less than an inch long.I use it for saw dust

Most definitely ! I've used many at 30 yards and punch through a 1/2" ply wood.

yes it will do the job. It is a high quality tool that will meet and exceed your needs.
