will it cut through a 2x4 ?

No, neither will the Skill saw attachment. It'll work great on smaller pieces like laminate flooring, removing dried glue & putty to detailing a pine wood derby car. It's truely a novice's tool.

The short answer is "no" since this item is simply the oscillating tool attachment and it comes without any accessory. You will just need to buy a separate accessory that will allow you to cut 2x4. Oscillating tool is very versatile as it can be used with many different accessories that are bought separately. If most you want is just to cut 2x4 then your better bet is to buy this matrix trim saw attachment for a couple bucks less (or buy any other trim saw):Black & Decker BDCMTTS Matrix Trim Saw Attachment

If you needed to cut a hole in, or notch a 2x4 this might work but it would not be the most efficient tool for the job. I think the included blade is 1 and 3/4 in. If you want to cut a 2x4 in half, use a skill saw or the trim saw attachment.

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!

I cut sheetrock, 2X4 and a 4X4 --- granted it is probably not the most efficient way to do it ---- I think it should work just fine. The only thing I have not cut with these tool is metal or tile -- but if I get the right blade probably will do it fine.

I would only use this for cuts that are needed to be clean. You could cut 2x4s with it, but if you don't need super clean cuts, I would go with a cheaper blade.

The 2x4 category should not be considered light framing. I would not even use this tool for 2x2. This is a trim installation tool, where 1/2" should be considered the max. I found the 16 gauge nails to be more akin to wire than a hardened nail, and tend to follow the easiest path. Best for nailing trim into a stud, which tend to be softer than joists.

i live in Australia i don't know what Durock is but with the right blade it will cut i use my to cut 4" by 2" but i would not use it to frame a whole house

It will but not easily. I purchasing for the same thing and because the tiles were very small I frequently cut my fingers. Wasn't long before I went out and bought a wet tile saw which is what I should have done in the first place. This cutter is best used for solid one-piece tiles.

As long as the apple is not bigger than the inner circle of the cutter, yes it will slice through. I have had no issues with this.

yes it will, if you cut the boards twice. I use this saw to cut 5/4" by 6" decking into thinner planks for some trim things on jobsites. You will have to go slow and make sure you keep the material straight and plumb. Only other tools I own that i could make a cut like that with are band saw (stuck at a shop) or planer (take forever and make too much dust). Maybe not what this saw was intended for but it works great. Get a sharp good blade and you it will work no problem.

Depends on the type of material. It may, for example, cut 1" thick aluminum but definitely not 1" thick steel (mild or hard).

It will, but may not leave the cleanest cut. I would not recommend this saw for 'finish' work like that. I use this for rough edges like installing electrical outlets where the rough edges are covered by a finish plate.

Yes it will. Please be advised, this saw is the best I have ever owned, but it is VERY SHARP. Don't let kids get near it and be very careful yourself. It might cut through a miter box if you don't watch the cut depth.

I think it will if you have a metal cutting blade on the end. It cut through 2 inch oak covered in asphalt roofing when i cut through our roof to put in a closet.

i cut through a 4 by 4 wood post a few times and it worked good for me. the sharpness of your blade really makes a difference

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.

Mine won't. It'll go through very thin sheets of wood, but for something like a stud the poor little thing just punks out.

The saw is built to make cuts of many angles on wood such cas 2X4's. It will not rip a 2X4. So if by,"Straight " you mean an accurate cross cut,the answer is yes .
