What is the maximum board thickness this saw can cut? This specification is listed nowhere for some reason...

Expanded cutting capacity: 12 In. horizontal capacity (nominal); 5-1/2 in. vertical capacity against the fence (base); 6 in. crown capacity against the fence (45 spring). Also, you can find cutting instructions in the manual starting on page 33. Here is a link to the manual: http://mdm.boschwebservices.com/files/r51484v2.pdf

I also looked in my book and couldn't find the info either. I didn't see the information on the saw either. This is a light weight saw. I have used mine quite a bit over the years I've had it. I works great. I did find a phone number you might want to try. 1-877-bosch99. Maybe they have the info you want.

Depends on the set, number (TPI) and spacing of the teeth on your blade. I like mine. But I think the max is 2 inches and I would not try that with hardwood. For a thick cut I would want maybe an 8 TPI skip tooth with a wide set as to make the saw kerf wide to reduce pinching

At least 6 inches, but the motor is not really powerful enough to do that. I suppose if you were cutting balsa wood, Styrofoam or warm butter, you could cut a 6-inch thick piece with this saw. But forget about it for anything else (even pine).

I can't answer that question, but this is the best hand saw I have ever owned. Very versatile, does everything this home owner asks. Doesn't bind as longer and thinner hand saws can.

it can 12" but thickness will max depth change on a 45' the saw runs into the wood but that the same for all saws

65 Thickness and you should only use 65 as works best. I have no problem. Cuts thick St Augustine very well.

Hi, I normally work on wood that is .5" thick but there is a clearance of 1" between the finger guard and base, you can remove the guard if needed. I also think the number of the blade will make a big difference. I normally use a #3 up to #5 for my projects but prefer the #3 on my .5 so I can sand less and the cut is much smoother. Hope that helps a little !

I used a 5000 rpm circular saw...I would imagine 8600 is the maximum RPM the blade is designed for. Probably says that on the blade no?

TheSaw-Max will flush cut to a Max of 3/4". Though I have not cut oak, I have cut 1/4" steel and a lot of porcelin tile successfully. You will not be able to finish cuts at inside corners with it and will need to find a method to cut last couple inches at inside corners, if you have any. The Multi-Max would do the last couple inches of inside corners. Hitting any nails will affect blade life. If you find the blade is working too hard at full thickness, reduce depth and use multiple passes. The saw definitely has the power to make the cuts you ask about.

i am probably not the one to ask about this saw. i really don't care for it and have since purchased an alternate unit. my problem with saw is different from yours, but still ends in the same result of an unsatisfied customer. good luck

Mitchell, I am not sure of the maximum width this saw will cut. I know that we were cutting 6" x 4" angle in it with the corner of the angle in the vertical position. The rear "vise" section of the saw is adjustable forward and backwards to allow for larger pieces of steel. I can check it tomorrow and get back to you. I do know that this is one kick*** saw and am very pleased with it. I use another saw in my shop that I cut wider plate so this is why I am not sure about the maximum width. I will get back to you.

Not sure what the actual measurement is for the thickness but I can say that you have to WORK to get it to even flex. VERY solid blade and totally able to use reverse side saw on at least a 1" thick branch and no issues!!! =0)

I never cut to the max. My estimate is that the max cut would be 3 to 4 inches- but do not go there is it wears out the badge quicker. Tom

I'm not quite sure what the dimensions are on what your trying to cut especially the thickness. I've used mine on travertine which is very hard and it cut just fine. It's all in the blade. I've used this type of blade on a circular type saw and able to cut concrete patio blocks. You would be limited on thickness with this saw.

The length doesn't matter as long as you support the uncut end (going into the saw) as well as the finished end (exiting the blade). Unfortunately, you cannot rip a 6" (width) board because the blade is a only a 10" blade and even when raised up to the max, you really can't rip a 2x4 any more than a tad over 3". The blade isn't "tall" enough to completely rip through anything "taller" than about 3.250". I believe a 12" blade would work, but I haven't seen any 12" table saws (that are affordable).

Which way are you cutting 45...across the 10" end OR board laid flat and 45 across 10" width of board (cut would be appx 14" long. Best answer is NO to either way. I suppose it could be done by painstakingly moving and flipping board...not a clean cut. Best answer is use a typical 10" or 12" compound miter sliding arm saw. Shop around.
