will it provide enough power to sew through 7/8" of leather?

I'm not sure if 7/8 inch is really what you mean, that's just shy of an inch and there are not to many sewing machines that an inch will fit under the foot of. But I know I sew two pieces of leather with two layers of double sided tap and a thin piece of plastic in-between and it goes through it great. But 7/8" I don't think it is going to work.

Yes. Might work for light shredding, but not heavy duty enough for my needs.

Possible, but not a good idea. You should buy a dedicated metal cutting saw. I've got the Makita 120v metal cutting saw and it will amaze you. I've cut steel up to 3/8" with no problems, yes that's over it's rated capacity but its still going strong.

Probably if the holes are small and you don't push to hard or get in a hurry. I use it to drill holes in leather for sewing.

I bought mine primarily to rip through 3/4 inch plywood, maple, birch, pine, oak, etc, and it works great. Couldn´t tell you how long the battery will last because I only cut through a couple of sheets at the time and then store it. But for my needs I am very happy with it, in fact, I don´t use the corded one anymore

The hole diameter fits a 7/8" no problem, but with my PortaCable Joiner the kerf of the blade was slightly thinner than the portacable blade,so it wouldn't tighten down, I made a very thin washer out of a piece of steel using 2 hole saws, and it worked fine.

I have never tried sewing leather. But I would guess it can. I use it mainly for quilting which really beats on a machine and it meets the challenge and does a great job. It is really sturdy.

I would not sew leather with this machine. You could do two layers of very light leather, but I would not advise this if you have another machine. It is working with stress with four layers of cotton. I use my old Kenmore for light leather and my heavier machines for serious leather applications. This machine's forte is the multiple stitches and needle placements available not its strength.

Yes it has pleanty of power for jeans .You will need some heavy needles though .

I have not used this on leather; however, I think 1/8" thick piece might be at the limits as the edge of the blade as it lies perpendicular is maybe a 32nd over an eighth of an inch. I hope this helps.

It might. I usually use mine when I am going to do a lot of sewing or cutting things out on the table.I used to use it at work when I was collating things on the conference table.Hope this helps. Friends who have tried it also like it.Diane

I have not tried it on anything really thick yet, but I feel it would be able to get the job done. The variable speed of this unit should make it capable of the job.

That will be dependent on your needle, as far as the machine itself, the best investment we have made with amazon, we sew clothing, canvas bags, sheets and drapes, and just about anything friends of ours can tear, will handle everything from silks to denim no problem, if you want to stich leather get the right needle, watch your speed and go

I doubt it. It is for light duty. For intricate patterns a scroll saw is what you want.

Yes this will. I use these to cut leather. Of course you'll have to use shorter strokes to cut through it. And since my pieces that I make are smaller, I mostly use the 2 smaller knives.

It should work fine - we used it to make leather wrist bans for about 40 kids and it worked fine- very heavy duty

Yes I believe so. It states it will cut 8 in steel, which requires the biggest welding tips. I use propane for my torch, so that should be considered too.
