Can I cut non-ferrous metals with the balde that comes with it?

If you're asking about aluminum, no. I tried it and it only melts it. I had trouble cutting a 1/2" aluminum rod and the cut was horrible. Tried to cut a 1" square aluminum block and it barely cut 1/4" of it and it gummed up the blade. I was able to cut wood dowels though.

Yes, it's a chop saw not a grinder. The blade is super thing and wears away as it cuts

Isn't the blade the key to cutting anything? You can use this saw to cut darn near everything, including non-ferrous metals, IF you install the correct blade.

Yes just buy the appropriate belts. I had 2 interns make about 6 knives from scratch using this tool. An aluminum oxide paper removes metal very quickly with this tool; keep a quench tank handy to keep the part cool

I haven't personally but it would be easy to do so. I bought some extra belts off eBay that had much coarser grit that would easily strip metal in a hurry and I plan to use those belts to do my lawn mower blade. I currently use my angle grinder which throws a lot of hot, nasty sparks.

Sorta. There is a rotary disc that will cut through plastic, but I haven't tried it with anything metal like. You can see them in the primary image. It's a disc that's the same color as the sanding drum inside the flex shaft loop. In reality, they are hard & black and cut plastic well. I haven't tried metal or wood.

I have used this blade to cut aluminum decking. I understand that it is not to be used for ferrous metal or wood.

Yes I believe you can. Check the B&D website. There are also wholesalers online who will sell you other parts, like the blade, etc. But not all parts are replaceable.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

You should be able to as this was designed to be cut with the tiny blade. I just tested this with my whale punch with no problems ;-)

Not if they are edged, that is for sure. The material is a polymer designed to resist impact, not cutting. If it were edged, my bet would be that it would get sliced in half - or at least the weapon would bite into it hard. For a non-edged metal weapon, you are probably safe as long as the weapon isn't terribly heavy; it can take full-force blows from a bokken wielded by a master in Kendo (personally tested) with nary a scratch, and that's saying something.

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.

Im pretty sure you can as I believe the blades are universal. Now if the balding blade is surgical, that'll make it even better. Ive used the blade that comes on the magic for balding and it did a very good job... and yes it is a surgical blade. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried, personally, but I'm sure it would depend on how tough your metal is. What are you wanting to cut?

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

Yes I believe its possible. This flush cutter is meant for "softer" metals such as jewellery.

I had to cut the metal and I used my neighbor 's oscillating saw but I think a hack saw would work too if you have a vice to hold the metal piece.
