will this cut through a 5 gallon plastic bucket?

Amazingly, it can. I have a plastic bucket, specifically, one of those paint buckets from Lowes or Home Depot. It was pretty effortless to cut through quite easily. I'm not sure though about the huge plastic buckets that have a big ridge in them. (I'm talking about those huge printed plastic buckets/pails that a lot of paint or sauces/food come in.) I guess, thin, somewhat flimsy buckets: No problem, thicker and harder plastic buckets: Nope. Hope this answers your question.

Probably. I used it to "slice" through a big plastic Easter egg. Just be aware of the fumes and wear a mask. I also used it on floor mats that were about 3/4 of an inch thick. Make sure you have a couple of new blades on hand! It's a great little tool!

I cut through sterilite tubs, so you should be able to cut through a 5gallon bucket if it's a thinner one.

Not easily. It is a soldering iron with a blade tip so it would mean really slow melting progress.

I don't think it would cut very well. It has a magnetic strip on the inside that is glued on so you would have to cut through that. The other material is a very hard plastic that might splinter

I take back my answer, after (a lot of) practice, I can get a smooth, attractive cut about 90% of the time :3--Original Answer--Yes, but it probably won't be a very attractive cut.I used it to cut plastic and it rarely came out looking good.

I think it would. It works for my pump which is in a simple 5-gallon bucket

It will siphon yes, however it's designed for one gallon glass jugs so it won't reach the bottom of your carboy. Your best bet is to go for the standard auto siphon which will work for plastic buckets as well as 3, 5 and 6.5 gallon glass car boys.

no, only fits standard gallon bucket. I had to stop and refill from 5 gal bucket.

Certainly. It stays closed until you pull the handle, and the hose is long enough and flexible. 5 gal size would be a bit on the heavy side full but not unmanageable.

Absolutely. I have cut the top and bottom off over 100 metal 55 gal drums. It works great. You have to sharpen cutter blade occasionally.

If you use 2 6" standard bar type air stones, and run 2 of the ports to each air stone, it will work fine. I have this setup in a DWC cloning chamber. I would run all 4 ports to 1 4" round airstone. For multiple 5 gallon buckets, I would recommend going to the larger diaphragm style pump. They are just as quiet (our is actually quieter), and produce WAY more air.

This blade works well on Plastics but I tried it with wood and it even had a hard time with just 5/4" Fir. Find another blade is what I would do. Freud makes a huge selction for cross cut blades.

it does a nice job 0n lite to medium steel and wood, pretty sure it will cut plastic.

I've used it on all types of wood, hard and soft. It cuts great. It would depend on the thickness and type of plastic you want to cut.I don't think it would be good on all plastic, you would need a finer point saw for some.

yes, the diameter of a 5 gallon bucket is 12 inches, this unit has a diameter of 10.5 inches

Not real sure, but might be able to attach a tub to the metal tub going into canister and running tub into a hole in top lid of 5 gallon bucket lid. I think it's like pressure fed.

It may cut it but the blade won't last long doing a bunch of cuts. We have to watch how hot we get the blades when we cut 5/8 half round.

Sorry but i would need further explanation of the type of plastic you are cutting and the thickness and i will answer to the best of my ability Brand of the plastic and type would be helpful. Steve

It's probably an inch thick but is plastic, so I doubt it would cut well or look right.
