Will this saw, with the metal blade. Cut through a 2" galvanized steel pipe?

I haven't tried it but have no reason to believe it wouldn't from the use I've given it so far.

Has plenty of power and with a quality metal blade, it will cut throw easily

I have not had a need to cut steel pipe however I am sure it would cut through with the correct blade. Not the blade it comes with.

Never tried that, but I assume it has the power to do so. You might have to use several blades. I know I used a similar saw several years ago to cut through a shock absorber that was stubborn. Make sure you wear eye protection. My friend had severe eye damage from the metal shavings on a job he was doing. Not a smart move on his part....!

No. This saw is designed for wood. If you want to cut through metal you should consider buying a hacksaw designed for cutting through metal.

Yes, and the blade measures 2 inches across. I would measure yours to make sure.

It will cut through an exhaust pipe without much effort with the proper metal cutting blade. I love my cordless sawzall.

The maximum cutting depth of this saw is 3/4". It would not be able to cut a 2x2.

Yes. That's what I've been using it for. Be sure to watch the gauge of the metal you are cutting versus the maximum gauge that the cutter is rated for.

Definitely aluminum, with the right blade. Steel I haven't tried and can't speak to. I'd look up 10" blades that cut steel and if they're compatible with the saw (a hook angle of 5 degrees or less, a 3/8" arbor, an adequate rpm, which I'd have to check...) it should do fine. It's more about the blade and speed than the other components of the saw.FWIW, I love this saw, several years into owning it.

it can only cut to 1/2 the with of the blade if you removed the blade cover and install a larger blade it would

in would cut through a thin sheet of PVC no problem. But the tool is not large enough to cut through pipes it is made for flat thin sheets of metal & plastic or thin wood it is a very well made tool & I highly recommend this tool no doubt.... Thank You for your question?

Possible, but not a good idea. You should buy a dedicated metal cutting saw. I've got the Makita 120v metal cutting saw and it will amaze you. I've cut steel up to 3/8" with no problems, yes that's over it's rated capacity but its still going strong.

I think that would depend on the thickness of the material, how much you have to cut, and desired finish of cut. However this saw will indeed slice through sheet metal very cleanly! I personally love mine and would recommend it to you!

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!

I had to cut the metal and I used my neighbor 's oscillating saw but I think a hack saw would work too if you have a vice to hold the metal piece.

I have two of these saws and have only cut wood. If you can find a blade that will cut metal you could try cutting metal with it and see if the results are satisfactory. I am inclined to believe it will not work well but it is worth a try

Yes,It's max cut is 6 1/4 inches. However, If you have to cut steel tho, find a blade for a 7 1/4 saw or even better sawzall blade. Infinitely cheaper ,easier and will not put makita at risk. Even if you need to cut at bevel, I would find another way. Not sure if metal blade exists and if it does it's gonna be a fortune.

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

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