Will this saw be up to the task of cutting through my wood paneling as well as the drywall? I think it's 1/8" paneling.

Thanks, I'll definitely drill a starter. It's going behind a TV mount and will have a faceplate over it so not concerned about a rough cut.

It has a 5/8 arbor - if your saw will use that and a 10" blade - yesit cuts a 1/8 path and does an good job of it.

It's 5/8 inch. It's not a precision fit. The sliding mitre gauge which came with the saw wobbles from side to side 1/32. I purchased this saw for rough 2X4 cuts. It is not for cabinetry or precision work.

The blade is 1 1/4 inch tall. It can cut 1 inch thick board. I have cut successfully on 3/4 inch plywood.

I cut 1/8" with it. I watched YouTube videos to learn how before I tried it.

Yes it will cut 4x4's in one cut but be careful and have the 4x4 anchored with the wood clamp that is built into the saw

Of course the blade needs to be appropriate, but the saw has plenty of torque and certainly I have had no issue in up to 1" thickness in all the mentioned materials. That is not to say that you could not go thicker, just have not used it over 1".

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 think this should not be the purpose of such a saw... its blade is thin and my experience is that it has worked very well cutting up to 1 1/4",

Inch boards are about as far as I want go with this. Nice little saw, it would probably cut more thickness but would be slow. I use a band saw for thick stuff.

This tool is not really designed to do all of that. it will cut thru your drywall easily. I would suggest a sawzall for your studs and hardi siding. Use a jig saw for you cabinet. I used it to cut access holes in interior plaster walls and it worked great.

The saw is strong enough. Make sure you get a long pruning blade (6" to 8") for the job. The pruning blades work great.

Yes, it will work great, just be very steady with the saw and keep it straight.

Yes as long as its not green and soft, if it is hard and not too thin, the saw will work like a breeze.

It is 110 and is strictly a hobby saw. I looked at one complaint where the owner thought it should be able to cut Oak and other hardwoods. Small soft stock is what I use it for.

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.

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.
