Can it cut a 3x1.5 inch 11ga tube on end at a 45? What kind of squareness of cut can I expect? I'm using a abrasive saw now and getting 3/16' out of s

Yes. Blades are expensive, but last & cut steel fast IF taken care of. Keep item CLAMPED TIGHT.

I don't have it handy so I can't measure it. But, I think you would be hard pressed to cut a 3" tube with this.

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.

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.

3-1/2" is all you will cut with this saw, maybe 3 5/8". It is a great saw for the price.

I cut through a 2x6 at a 45 degree angle. I think that was pushing it to the limit.

I'm not 100% sure what type of 45 degree you are talking about cutting, but I believe you are referring to using it to cut your corners to create a 90 degree corner. If that is the cut you are looking for then this jig will not do that.

never tried to cut at a 45.....If I were to want a 45....I would use a electric saw instead.....barry

I didn't have any issues cutting with mine... Free hand in a jig saw you are always correcting. Were you using in some fixed tabletop saw perhaps to notice?

As I recall,for a 45 degree cut,you'd premark the cut,pick the proper fitting and go for it.You have very good control,trim material is soft wood or plastic and there is a cutter that will do that quite well.

I have used this to cut 11 gauge 4 inch square tubing and 1 inch rebar. You just need to go slow and let the wheel do the cutting.

It depends on your blade selection, your set up, and your skill level. I highly recommend you view a 35 minute you tube video entitle Bandsaw Clinic with Alex Snodgrass. It explains a lot of things and clears up a couple misconceptions about bandsaws. Then, do your research on blade selection (especially where blade width vs. curve radius is concerned). Finally, plan to take it slow. Don't force the cut. Let the blade establish your feed rate. With the right blade (probably a new 2-3 TPI) the saw has the power to do the job

It will cut any degree angle, if you can reverse the work piece. otherwise any angle up to 45

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very much lower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the work without forcing the cut.

Ask the manufacturer about the depth of cut. The unit I bought was .500" max on a 90 degree cut. I used the machine for production cuts of Delrin tubing - very accurate and repeatable. VERY good machine. They have a machine that will take your cut. For the buck, believe you should try it.

If you are cutting your 16" Birch square (90 degrees) then you can also just lift the front of the board slightly (about an inch or so) to finish your cut. You have to be careful that the back of the board remains seated against the fence and remains flat to the table. I've been using this method for nearly 20 years with my Makita LS 1211 which only crosscuts about 14". If you aren't cutting square then you have to flip the board over AND switch it from end to end to finish your cut. That can get tricky if you only have 1/4" of board left to cut.
