Can 7321 or 7322 cut the wood (4x2) or 2 inches thickness wood? It looks like 1-1/4 is max it can cut.

A standard wood 2x4 is 1-1/2" thick. The BladeRunner will cut wood to 1-1/2" thick with the standard T-blades, especially the 4" blades. (Bosh makes the blades you need, available on Amazon.com.) If you're cutting a long piece, I recommend that you support the ends at the height of your BladeRunner, or have someone hold the long end. You also have the option of cutting thicker wood by using a longer blade, however, you cannot use the top blade guard. That needs to be raised to its maximum hight to clear the blade, and you must ensure that the short stroke is higher than the top of the cut, or the blade will slam the wood up and probably bend. Of course, Rockwell doesn't recommend this. Frankly, a hand-held circular saw or even a saber (jig) saw would be a better choice for cutting 2x4, 2x6, and so on, if you don't have a miter, radial or table saw.

It cannot cut 2 inch! it might be able to cut 1 1/2 inch balsa wood! Don't waste your money on this saw

It can cut a 2x4 , but as you know a 2x4 is really just a little less in dimensions. I find that this guy can do all I expect. However, it is not a heavy duty unit. If your looking for everyday heavy use then don't buy it. if you are looking for a good all around small unit for your wood shop then buy it. I love it.

It uses a standard jig saw blade its pushing the limits of the saw but I would say yes but its not at its best doing it

I sent Rockwell a letter telling them that I was displease with the performance of the Bladerunner and asked if they would take it back, the only response I received was a note thanking me for writing them. Don't waste your money on a Bladerunner or any Rockwell product!

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

So far we have used the saw to cut 2x4's. It cut like butter at that depth. Not sure about anything larger than that as far as ease of cutting.

I don't know what the manufacturer claims as the maximum cutting thickness, but in my experience this tool will easily cut 1/4" shoots, it may cut 1/2", but it would definitely not be able to cut a 1-inch branch. For that you would normally need a lopper. Nevertheless, I find this tool very useful for extending my reach to prune the new shoots on the wisteria growing on a pergola in our back yard, as well as small branches on other plants. There is a saw blade attachment available for cutting heavier branches. I like this pruner, and would recommend it for light trimming.

The saw will cut a 4x4 but is just short of cutting a 2x6 in one pass unless you are willing to roll the board up at the end of the cut. Rolling the board is a practice common among carpenters but it is not accurate and IS NOT SAFE.

If this saw does not have a rigid back (like a Back-saw) then, yes it can cut wood that thick. However, accuracy will be tough. I would try a table saw first, even if I had to make a special jig to allow for the size of the window. Best wishes, Robt. P.S. I mention the rigid-back because I have many pull-saws for different uses and I do not remember what this specific saw looks like; I am not fluent in Japanese! RW

For 4 to 6 inch thickness I would go with a bigger bandsaw. This will cut 4 inch stock ok but I cut a lot of exotics and the denser woods really slow this bandsaw down to where I wish I'd got a larger model. For 2 to 3 inch and a good blade it works good. I use it for cutting my lathe wood down to a rounded blank for turning.

I am not sure about that but I guess you must use what comes with it for sure. I also think the thickest board you can cut is about 1 inch by 15 1/4 cross cut. I personally use this machine to cut thin strips of wood for artisan works.

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)

The specs for the saw list a cutting height of 4 5/8" I believe but I think the max may be more like 4 1/2" tall wood.

As others have stated, a 4x6 could be cut at 90 degrees. If you want to cut at an angle though, a 4x4 would be your max. capacity. Also, it does take a while to cut through something that large.

Yes, this saw will do 2x4s or 2x6s, for example, but I'd keep in mind that the saw probably is not for 3x3 or larger wooden posts. I'm just guessing on the largest size, however, from the size of the blade and overall size of the unit. This saw easily cuts paneling, however. Two blades come with the saw: a coarse blade for wood, and a fine-tooth blade for metal and plastic or PVC piping. So far the saw has done a great job for various tasks, and it's very compact and comfortable to use. I've used it mainly for planks about an inch thick, and fallen tree branches that need to be trimmed.

I think you can. When I have to buy a new blade I'm going to try a 7 1/4" skil saw blade first. The depth of cut can be easily adjusted to accommodate the smaller blade. With this saw a 1 1/2- 2" piece is about the max you can stand up on edge and do a miter, but layed down and laying over the blade is just about as fast with let say a 1x4.

I use it to make 3/4 inch plugs but it's capable of 2 inch or more. When you cut your plugs, don't cut all the way through the wood you're cutting from. If you do, you'll have a hard time removing the plug from the cutter. I cut most of the way through and then run the wood through the table saw to separate the plug from the mother wood.

I cut 12mm laminate in both rooms, the included paper work recommended up to 9/16, so yes it will handle 1/2 inch laminate. You will need to exert moderate pressure on the cutter to cut thicker laminates, a longer handle would have facilitated cutting, but then again I am almost 68 years old, you may have no trouble at all. I hope this helps.

The fence of this saw is approximately 1.75 inches. However a maximum height of 4 inches can be cut using the same fence height with the use of clamps. In other words, the blade still be within the angle guides for cutting a maximum height of 4 inches. The maximum width it can cut is approximately 4 inches, nothing more. I have had use it cut a 4x4 (dress) 2x4 (dress) and it worked fine. I just use it for small projects to cut a couple pieces nothing major.

Well mine measures 4 3/4 but yes you should be able to make 3 1/2 inch mortises with no trouble. I bought mine to make entrance and interior door extended tenon cuts.
