how thick of a tree branch will it cut?

It will cut dry branches up to 3/4 ", fresh ones to 1/2". You have to hold branch so blade doesn't bind which makes this a 2 hand operation. It's fine for dry wood like plywood sheets but not a real outdoor unit. Jack Schmidt

I don't know, it all depends on how thick you apply it. If the diameter of the tree is 10ftI would best guess one?

its according how big the branch is if its 3 -4 inches thick probably especially if it has a point on it

Not sure if this is going to help you, but we've been using the 12" blades sold at Amazon to trim branches, and they've been perfect. So far, we haven't bent or broken a blade!

Depends on material being shredded. Hard dry branches chip to about 1/2 inch. Greener material varies significantly.

Branch has to be at least four or five inches thick. Coolaroo fabric is pretty tough stuff. You'll see.

not really sure how to answer this one... I'm guess that the serrated part of the blade would cut branches, but you may be there a while. you might want to invest in a folding tree saw if you need to cut branches down

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

Haven't tried them on anything that big but they don't seem large enough to handle a branch that thick. They work very well on small, thin branches. We've used them on branches up to a 1/2 inch. I would use much larger pruners for a 1.5" thick branch.

It will cut about two inches. This item is great for cutting through something with a smooth surface like sheetrock. Any breaks in the smooth surface and the cutting blades on the outer edge will get snagged in it and it will kick back and could hurt you. Also you must use a good 1/2 drill when cutting into deeper material. I used mine to cut through plaster and flat wood siding and it cut like butter. For those two cuts it was well worth the cost.

Yea the thickest thing it'll cut tht ought is a toothpick if you try really hard.

It can do a small branch, say 3/4 of an inch up to 3 or 4 inches in diameter. I have cut 5 in trunks with it, but you are there awhile. It might cut a bigger one. But you would be using up your blade; when a bigger saw would be better for the job. I like to save this one for all my smaller branches so it stays sharp longer. I don't have anyway at home to sharpen the offset razor teeth on this saw. Hope this is helpful.

I used it to dry cut pavers and termite block. Anything over 4 inches thick is pushing the limits of the blade.

If you are refuring to the serrations on top, then yes, depending on the branch, if its anything under two inches, I would not bother using it. But if it is more, then yes, it is quite capable of it. I found that it works as a sort of saw. It can also be used to wrap a survival cord securely inbetween the teeth and through the openings along the knife, which are placed just right as to not weaken the knife. Hope this helped.

I'd say yes on the arborvitae, though of course it depends on the size. I've been able to cut through very large laurel bush branches...they're really woody and tough. Maybe dime size in diameter? Probably even bigger too. It does a great job for what I've used it for.

It's probably an inch thick but is plastic, so I doubt it would cut well or look right.
