can you use the top as a cutting surface?

You could use the top for a cutting surface but it would show the knife marks just like any cutting board.

We do not, but the manufacture should be able to answer that question. There is a finish on the surface so I guess if you sand it first, then put "Food Grade Mineral Oil" on it, seems that you would have a cutting board.

We have this model, which is probably why this popped into my email... The top has a shellac coating. I would NOT advise using it as a cutting board- it looks questionable in the photo, but is really not a butcher block style top.

You could but probably wouldn't want to because a knife will leave marks. I would recommend you add a separate cutting board.

OK to cut it off. Round off the edges as before and finish with the type of finish they talk about. Sanding the whole surface might be good. After a few months the edges of the glued pieces can be felt. I used the top for a kitchen island. Worked great. I used it uncut.

Sure. I don't see why not. Just keep in mind its a smaller cutting board so you can't cut anything larger. It would also depend on the thickness. You would only be able to do 1 layer at a time.

You could very lightly cut but I still wouldn't recommend it. If you want a nice lightweight cutting board, I highly recommend this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00453OMYI/ref=oh_details_o01_s03_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

If you have the patience to sand the cut-outs in the top then I don't see why not! The top is not a flat piece but decorate cut-outs.... So I would think it would be tedious. The white finish is not flat... But antiqued. I would think the distressed finish may make the sanding process easier. Enjoy!

U could if you wanted a large rough cut......but for seeds etc I would use a small food processor instead, or a coffee grinder.

Yes, you can. Make sure it is perfectly centered and try not to have the top no more than 1/2" in thickness. Hope my answer helps.

I don't think so. The top surface is smooth and when wet, can be slippery. I would not recommend it for that purpose.

You can, as long as it is light cutting. I use a cutting board to preserve finish.

You probably could. It does not have a smooth surface, but no problem chopping on it.

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

You can. However anything thicker like foam core is not possible. It really is a matter of wanting to manipulate what is being cut, and with this type of blade, it is not possible.

Yes you can - it says so in the instructions, but make sure you don't clean the surface with anything abrasive!

I don't see why you couldn't. There are no seamed or finished edges, so I think you probably could.

yes you can - as all stone will, eventually you will need to sharpen your cutter ... so we slide it off the stone and onto our large cutting board ... eases that worry

Yes, you can it just will have exposed edges at the top, you would have to finish it off with some kind of treatment. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions let me know I will try to help.

You can, but not a good idea. Buy an inexpensive round metal pizza pan and cut it on that.
