how thick of wood can this cut?

A 5" piece will fit under the blade, but I wouldn't feel safe cutting anything thicker than 3 1/2".

Blade thickness is 1/4 inch. You can process small pieces of wood up 3" in diameter and with some work make feather sticks. Hope this helps.

It cuts pretty strong branches, I would say about half an inch for sure. Thicker than that and you might get lucky with a swing at it.this is a terrific hedge trimmer, versatile and easy to use and even at full extension. Good luck, hope this helps

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

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.

It's very thick and heavy duty. I don't know what you would cut it with. I think even good shears would be inadequate.

You can get approximately a 6" thick piece under the chisel, however the chisel would not cut to that depth. Rarely would I deal with stock as thick. I wish it had a greater back stop travel. If you want to cut deep into the width of a board you have to reconfigure the whole tool.

I bought one a few months back and the cutting surface is about 3/8" thick.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very muchlower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the workwithout forcing the cut.

No I don't think so. I have not tried it of course but I'm confident it's not sharp enough for that kind of cutting. Thick paper is fine.

I'm not quite sure what the dimensions are on what your trying to cut especially the thickness. I've used mine on travertine which is very hard and it cut just fine. It's all in the blade. I've used this type of blade on a circular type saw and able to cut concrete patio blocks. You would be limited on thickness with this saw.

65 Thickness and you should only use 65 as works best. I have no problem. Cuts thick St Augustine very well.

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....

I've been able to cut through a 2x3 on it's side, and all 2x4 and 2x6 cedar/fir. Just feel the resistance of the wood and take er slow!

If you're talking about 4-6" thick, no you will not be happy, consider the 10-325. I have both and the 10-305 is a nice little bandsaw but it won't handle thick lumber like that. The 10-325 on the other hand, I have resawn a 13" wide piece of 8/4 ash with excellent results.

It's a almost a quarter inch thick. which makes for EXCELLENT batoning when you need to cut small cords of wood down for tindling.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.
