can i use blade 4 positions like dewalt saw has?
1832034
i am not familiar with dewalt, but there is an adjustment for saw stop for longer blades. can't remember if it is 4, but certainly has been a good saw for me.

DeWalt has many variations of reciprocating saws just as Makita has. Without knowing which model you are comparing to I am not sure what you mean by "4 positions". The JR3060T has an adjustable shoe, a quick connect/disconnect blade sleeve, and a 4 position adjustable orbital cutting action. I hope this helps . . .

The short answer is "no" since this item is simply the oscillating tool attachment and it comes without any accessory. You will just need to buy a separate accessory that will allow you to cut 2x4. Oscillating tool is very versatile as it can be used with many different accessories that are bought separately. If most you want is just to cut 2x4 then your better bet is to buy this matrix trim saw attachment for a couple bucks less (or buy any other trim saw): http://www.amazon.com/Black-Decker-BDCMTTS-Matrix-Attachment/dp/B009V5C616/ref=pd_bxgy_469_img_y

No. Because the carbide tips are 3/16 in wide, They are offset 1/16 in to be able to cut 1/4 in, and reverse for 3/8 in cut. Just use one side of a dado set, or a .125 in regular saw blade.

I have not done that but believe that you could if you found a blade that would fit. The saw is fairly heavy and awkward and quite powerfull. My concern would be binding the saw holding it up horizontally. I would use a fence fastened to the wall to rest the saw on in order to maintain control of the travel and reduce the possibility of binding causing kick back. Have a helper.

As tempting as it might be, I would not recommend it. If you can get it mounted, the blade may extend below the deck of the saw. Also, you have to make sure the arbor diameter is correct 3/4" in this case. Most 4 1/2" blades have a much smaller hole in the center for proper alignment on the saw. They probably do that to prevent you from mounting blades on the wrong type of saw.The 4 3/8" is fairly durable and I actually bought an extra one when i bought the saw. I changed the blade after putting down approximately 250 sq ft of laminate flooring. If you get in a pinch, they sell them at Lowes too. As tempting as it might be, I would not recommend it.

Trini, I would believe John Cottingham's review, since he has one. The mounting system is very accomodating. The saw only needs four bolt holes in its base. The mounting bars on the stand can be placed anywhere along the center rail to accomodate the width of the saw base and the length of the bars can handle most depths of the saw since the attachments are in slotted holes. The rear mounting holes also have some play sideways so the rails can handle a saw that has different spacings of the rear and front bolt holes. I have a 12" DeWalt saw and this stand makes hauling it around real sweet. Also, setup for operation is really quick. The laser guide should not be an issue.

I think you would be better off with an 4.5 inch abrasive saw. I think dewalt makes one.

Really not much to it. It fits in two holes on the side of the saw and that's it (either side). Not sure but I do not believe it will fit every model saw Dewalt makes. Does not move... no adjustment either. Gives support for shorter pieces of wood so they do not just fall off the saw after cutting. Will do nothing for longer pieces being cut. The saw stand that I have has rests further away from the saw for cutting long pieces of wood.

It is limited because the tile will hit the frame of the saw on the left. I just did a job with 6x24 tiles on the diagonal and I had to be quite creative to make all my cuts around the floor vents. It does help that you can make plunge cuts similar to a miter saw. Overall this is a very nice saw. But may not be the right saw for large format tiles.

Yes. That is why it costs more than the new ones! You can't use the guard for dadoing so Dewalt says don't use it for that, but that is about half of what I use it for all day long. Takes up to 3/4" of blades, but don't ask Dewalt. They will refer you to the legal department.

Yes ~ just the kind of task the saw was designed to handle.You might like to invest in longer blades but you can use theblade that comes with the saw and simply cut from both directions.This is a worthy saw and you'll like your purchase and will find manyuses.

No expertise here... I'm a woodworker. But I find the saw tight, sufficiently powered for the small blade and easy to use. My guess is that you may want to build a jig for exact positioning. Hope this is of some helpDLH

It has multiple positions (three I think). I just use even blades, but I know you can feather it by pushing in the button and twist until the button clicks in the new position.

There is a bolt on each side. The blades have three position holes. Loosen the bolt and move to a different hole.

No, DeWalt does not recommend using a dado blade on the DW745 or the DWE7480 Table Saws. There was apparently some misprint in documentation and they amended that via their online Q&A.;

By rotating the blade guard, you could set an approximate depth of cut. You would have to hold the saw at a constant angle to achieve a constant depth of cut. My motor burned up after third use. Don't buy!

That will depend on the length of your arbor shaft. The company says you can cut 1/4" to 7/8" widths but that's only true if all of the blades and chippers will fit on the shaft of your saw while still allowing you to use both the arbor flange and arbor washer. Not using both is not advisable from a safety standpoint.
