Can you cut plywood with this or do I need to buy the saw max?

You can cut notches but it is not meant to rip plywood. Its best to use a circular saw or a table saw to cut plywood.

This will do an excellent job for small or short precision cuts in anything made of wood, including plywood materials. There are several different blades available for what ever you need to cut. I do not own a saw max yet, but I like what I saw on the videos so far. Maybe a birthday gift idea?

You certainly could use this to cut out a small section of plywood, but if you are talking about slicing off big pieces then you are better off using a circular saw or something else bigger.

I cut openings for plugins through paneling, I also ran a new wire from the breaker box. I encountered stud braces (2x4) unexpectedly and was able to notch out for the wire to pass through the 2x4 brace. I took my time and applied steady light pressure. I really like this tool and use it a lot. You should be able to cut plywood, with patience. Ripping for any distance would not work, but making small cuts should go well.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

No. No need to either. This thing runs like a champ! Just follow the starting instructions and you won't have any problems with this saw!

I used a hand saw, but this material is quite strong. A table saw would be ok I'd think

No need to use this saw or any saw for vinyl, use a razor knife and a steel straight edge that you can buy from any Home Depot, Lowes or any other similar store.

The saw is ok for use with thin wood. It will stall and jam with use of thicker plywood, and treated wood

If the blade works on it yes. However it's only going to cut so far into it. I'd be looking at a different type of saw if I was trying to do that.

The saw has a maximum cutting depth of 3/4-inch. Most 3/4" plywood has a total thickness of less than 3/4", so the saw would probably be capable of handling that thickness, but it would be wise to actually check the depth, prior to purchasing.

You can but it would be rough - for basic carpentry work it would work. But If you are building fine furnitures, I would invest money for a good professional Dozuki saw.

Not to my knowledge. I do not think the saw maxi was designed for fine cut you would need for flush corners. A miter saw or a miter box with a good saw should do it. Stanley and Buck would be a good choice

No this is only an extension to the table, which allows you to rip plywood up to 24" wide, the fence is also supplied and superior to the existing makita fence, Anthony

Renee, I have not used my saw to cut plexiglass but I would think with a fine toothed blade the saw would do the job. I don't think I would try it with the wood cut blades. Good luck.

If you buy just the saw it typically will not come with a blade. However, some sellers will include one. You just have to look.

I have not assembled my saw yet. Best answer I can give is probably. Contact the compny that sells the brand here. They were quick to answer my questions last year.

You can use a straight edge to guide the saw but it must be quite thin since when the blade is at full cutting depth there is little clearance below the motor housing. The blade that comes with the saw is quite thin and has little set to the teeth, so cuts tend to be pretty clean. However if you plan to rip an 8 ft. sheet of 3/4 inch plywood, you will be disappointed: Not enough power or battery life to work well for an app like that.

It comes with starter set of pre-cut lines and bolt to secure it to the trimmer head. Item work better with straight trimmer vs. the curved type. No it doesn't cut thru plywood as advertised.

TheSaw-Max will flush cut to a Max of 3/4". Though I have not cut oak, I have cut 1/4" steel and a lot of porcelin tile successfully. You will not be able to finish cuts at inside corners with it and will need to find a method to cut last couple inches at inside corners, if you have any. The Multi-Max would do the last couple inches of inside corners. Hitting any nails will affect blade life. If you find the blade is working too hard at full thickness, reduce depth and use multiple passes. The saw definitely has the power to make the cuts you ask about.
