Will the inlcuded blade cut through sheet metal?

It depends on the gauge (thickness) of the metal you are wanting to cut, but the blade included is meant for cutting through wood, metal, and plastic.

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

I work for a plumbing company and we came across a pipe (underground in a tight spot) where we had to cut an 8" diameter steel pipe, which was 1/2" thick!!!!, and we used a diamond blade......it WILL cut it. Of course the best thing would be a blade designed specifically for metal, but this blade WILL cut it I assure you.

Yes, but only very thin such as sheet metal for duct work etc. This might not be fair as I do not have a fine tooth blade for metal but the one that came with it did work altho I would not recommend it for that. Note: if you need replacement blades be sure to get right ones...few fit it. Jack

No, this machine is designed to cut wood, not metal. The speed of the saw would be too fast to cut mild steel. Using this machine to cut metal will void any manufacturer warranty.

It cuts wood, but just a little slower, because the blade is made for metal. However, I have done it without a problem on occasion...

I haven't tried, personally, but I'm sure it would depend on how tough your metal is. What are you wanting to cut?

Yes, the included blade works for plywood, melamine, and other finished sheet goods with very little tearout. The blade is more finish style than rough/cross cut style.

No the blade is just a straight shape edge. There are holes throught the blade above the edge so what you are cutting does not adhear to the blade.

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.

Yes, just get a metal cutting blade. Make sure you wear your safety goggles.

No. Also you have to make sure you press down on the clear plastic part that sits over the paper near the blade to hold the paper in place or it won't cut straight.

Sorry, can't remeber which blade it came with... I would assume the Bosch metal cutting blade would do the trick. I purchased some demolition blades and so far, they've cut through anything I tried them on. Hope that helps...

Yes, you can switch blades to cut metal. Just make sure you are using the right ( ferrous or nonferrous) blade to match the metal you are cutting.

I would not cut steel with this blade. This is primary used for wood/laminate. This gives a very nice finished cut with ripping.

I would assume that using the "metal" cutting blade it would cut steel! Wear eye protection!

If the blade works on it yes. However it's only going to cut so far into it. I'd be looking at a different type of saw if I was trying to do that.
