can i cut a 10/12 or 8/12 angle with this tool when installing hardy plank 7 1/4"?

I don't think so. I purchased an EZ Shear for doing straight cuts and 26" EZ Shear Siding & Siding Trim Cutter for doing 8/12 rake cuts. They work great. Wade

It's a little tight but this shear will cut up to about an 8 1/2 / 12 if your board is 7 1/4" wide, if you can afford it, I would get the wider version for the rakes and this smaller version for the straight cuts. If you only need an 8/12, this will work fine. you can always use a diamond blade for the rakes.Tom

The table does not have a angle guide on it but if you made a guage as a guide it would cut at any angle

Yes, the cutting guide has a set screw and is adjustable from square cuts anywhere up to 45 degrees for diagonal cuts. I always check the angle with a combination square or other device.

Probably not. Thickest we cut was 12 gauge aluminum. 1/8" thick is 8 gauge. May cut a few feet but would probably jam and burn up if you had a lot to do.

You should be able to use one 1/8" blade and one 3/16" blade. That takes you to 7/32" (or 14/64"... 1/64" shy of desired dado.) With the shims you should be able to dial it in to that. I own this set, but haven't tried it for that width. Quarter inch plywood, I'm guessing?

it's a 10 inch blade. You need a 12. You can probably cut 5 1/4 base but something won't be true on the cut. we've all been there done that

you can, but i'd recommend just getting an adjustable one. unless you have a circular saw or a way to keep the same angle it can be frustrating. I used a dremmel, and eventually got it to fit after cutting ~1" off. not worth the effort.

yes with no problem.... you would need to use a straight cut bit, 1/4" or maybe even a little smaller 1/8" just take it easy and it would work fine.. you can do some amazing things with this tool.... you ought to see some of the artwork I have done with it.....

Typically, yes. The 7 1/4 inch blades will usually not fit into the housing of the smaller saws

Yes. You will need to adjust the depth of the blade of the straight cutter or use an exacto knife which is my preferred method. The cutting guide may not sit flat on 3/16 foam board. The angle cutter will also need to be adjusted for foam board.

Yes, I have a curbing company and I use one like this on my 7 1/4" circular saw to cut 4"x6" concrete curbing.

Hey William, yes it is. I usually to my inlay with 1/16" - 1/8" really just all depends on how deep you are cutting in to the material. I usually use a car bid parting tool to make it a perfect square cut into the wood. Also use a car bid chizel when finishing.

I used a Fein MM to cut out a 3/4" plywood floor I replaced. Cut was quite fine and smooth. I didn't use a straight edge, but I did have to cut along the long side of a bathtub. Using the bathtub itself as a guide was easy so I think any straight edge would be similarly easy.

I ue the blade on an old Rockwell saw, I set up to make boxes on and it works great. If the Dewalt if for a 5/8" x 8" it should work.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

No, based on a search of your model you'd need the U-shank and it looks like a u-shank with the hole.http://media.insidewoodworking.com/jigsaw-blades-u-vs-t-shank-b1.jpg

It will cut hard wood up to a certain thickness. Probably not good for this model, but there are better models that open up to accommodate a thicker plank. See the Youtube video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5Cs9Hi0Nxo

I don't know but my carpenters like this saw so much that they stopped using the 7 1/4 inch saw!
