I need to cut a square out of the center of a wood board. Is this the right tool for that?

Not this one buy Grinder o saw this is good for laminate cut straight and angle and zigzag

Depends on thickness and type of wood. 1/4"? Yes. 1/2" pine? Sure. 3/4" hardwood? Not easily. A small job could likely be done with just a rotary tool like a dremel or rotozip

Yes you can cut a square. Use a drill to place a starter hole. The hole will need to be big enough to accommodate the blade of the saw. Don't use the jig to go all the way to the corners. Stop a little short and finish the corner with a hand saw. You should end up with a nice square. Also place your drill hole on the inside line of the square being careful not to drill past the cutting line. Practice on scrap wood to get the feel of the saw.

No. It's intended to be used for straight cuts. You could probably clamp it down and make it work but there are better tools for that.

This saw blade is made specifically for wallboard. I do not believe it will perform well cutting wood. You need a fine tooth crosscut saw to avoid damage to the legs.

Hi, I can't see why you would want to,I believe the square cut is basically to use with circular saws only I would think, cheers

Although if you don't mind doing a little craft work, I'm sure you could cut the ports out of the boarder that you will never want to use again once using this. The shape is a bit odd, so I'd wait until you receive the board to cut the right shape.

Not really. This is for finesse work where you need to do something delicate - undercut a door jamb, for instance. For lumber, either a circular saw or a chop saw, depending upon you exact application.

Ted, I wouldn't advise it. A table saw is the safest way to rip lumber to a consistent width. Next to that a circular saw if you don't need an exact cut.

It's the PERFECT tool for that purpose. In fact, we bought ours recently specifically to install plank flooring. My husband was a trim carpenter before he retired and sold his shop tools. He'd had experience with this saw, so selected this one for our project, and I liked using it too. In my husband's opinion, it's the best portable table saw on the market, especially for the price.

How does a jigsaw compare to a table saw? Its not a rotary tool. I find it well suited for precision cuts or cuts in tight spaces; but, not for long or deep cuts. Molding, door frames, sheet metal. I'd use it to remove grout; but wouldn't be my choice concrete.

Yes! You can cut these boards. My personal method is to use a sharp knife or small hacksaw to cut groove into the board, and then turn it over and cut another groove on the back side along the same line. Then you can position the board so that your cut lines up with the edge of a table, and push down on the portion of the board that is hanging off the table to "snap" it off. It's sort of like the way sheet glass is cut by scoring and snapping. Does this make sense?

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.

You use a 1 1/2 inch drill bit for the corners. Fine woodworking has a router bench that uses this item. I followed his comments on building a template and it worked very well for cutting this pattern out.

i have used this on everything and have had had many ways i had to cut . the head turns 360 degrees so you should be able to get what you need out of it

The simple answer is yes. The software that comes with the unit has several frame options for cutting, you might have to play to get the exact size you want. You would actually probably have to place the "frame" onto a sacrificial board and cut through the frame board to get what you want as a separate piece.

No it is meant to cut wood. I would try a hacksaw with a metal cutting blade.

I mainly use my rail saw for cutting plywood. It is far superior for that. You can, with a little ingenuity, perform most table saw functions with it. No dado work. Narrow and short rip cuts are more difficult. Taper cuts are real easy. If I was short on space, it would be a great choice.

This would not be my tool of choice for making the type of cut you describe, although, in an emergency you might be able to rig something up that would be servicable. A circular saw would definitely be preferable especially in terms of smoothness.
