Whats the Maximum thickness of Wood (in Inches) Recommend for this to Cut through?

The largest tree branch I cut with this saw was about 3 inches in diameter. This is a saw for light duty work.

I am sorry to tell you that I do not know. I bought the saw with good intentions of doing some work with it, but because of a mix of circumstances, I have not been able to spend any time using it. I hope that I will be able to soon. But for now, I frankly do not know.

For 4 to 6 inch thickness I would go with a bigger bandsaw. This will cut 4 inch stock ok but I cut a lot of exotics and the denser woods really slow this bandsaw down to where I wish I'd got a larger model. For 2 to 3 inch and a good blade it works good. I use it for cutting my lathe wood down to a rounded blank for turning.

Max. cut depth is 1 1\2". Also,the saw is surprisingly quiet for a circular sawWorldGoodsCorp

According to the W1713 manual, the maximum cutting thickness is 2" (5.08cm) with a "blade stroke" of 3/4" (1.905cm). At this thickness, 2.75" of a standard 5" blade will be used; adjust speed accordingly.

I use my saw a lot and the maximum thickness seems to be about 2 inches. I've tried to use it w/o the guide to gain a little greater thickness and it works very poorly.

The hole saw is 2" deep. However, the inside end surface stops the saw from cutting that deep. The inside depth is about 1-7/8". You could certainly cut through 1-1/2", probably as thick as 1-3/4".

it says about 7 7/8" diameter is the maximum. I've used it to cut 3 1/2 holes in 3/4" plywood and solid walnut, and it worked well. Just be sure you use a drill press, clamp down the work, cut very slowly and at no more than 500 rpm. I'm not so sure how well it would cut at the maximum of 7 7/8", but that would depend upon what you were trying to cut a hole in... 1/4' or 3/4" stock.

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....

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".

Maybe 1 3/8" maximum. I use it to cut into stone and fracture it with chisel at the cut to break in half

Fiskars says it will cut branches up to 1" thick. I personally use other pruners for larger branches and would imagine these will cut 1/2"-3/4" of most wood types without any issue.

I think the maximum safe depth is 7/8". You might be able to extend the bit and blade to one inch, but I don't think you could cut 1-1/4 inches deep.The blade is not long enough.

I am not sure of the exact thickness but it is fairly thin. I think a standard drill bit would easily go through this thing.

Max depth cut will only be about 3". Try a 7 1/4" blade in a circular saw, but will still be a chore. Better off to rent a larger handheld saw.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

I don't know what thickness you will be working with. It should with the correct blades. It is just like any other saw of this type.

I use it to get through 3/4 inch plywood when making bean bag boards. That is the max. It does a great job. Make sure to use a powerful drill and hang on tight with two hands.
