It is cut metal like small screw, nail, plastic, wood. But all must be small size. It is usefull to cut that material inconvenient places.

The supplied blade is a good blade for cutting the wood at the bottom of a door frame, when installing flooring. This way the floor fits nicely under the frame and you do not have to make any fancy precise cuts,to your floor. So to answer your question, the fine tooth is excellent for splinter free, wood cutting.

Have had success with wood and metal so far. Haven't tried plastic or similar products, oscillates at a fairly high speed, would think brittle surfaces could pose a problem. Worth experimenting with tho'.

I cannot help you. It was not the right attachment and so I had to return it.

I have cut nails and wood with mine. Just don't force it; let the blade do the work.

Greetings Lisa, The material is a PVC plastic and it is cuttable but we recommend a PVC saw which has fine teeth to make a clean cut. If you have any questions, please let us know.

Tim, I'm not really sure. Any store that sells DeWalt stuff? I never looked for short blades. Short blades are good for metal cutting but most of my chores are wood.

Definitely aluminum, with the right blade. Steel I haven't tried and can't speak to. I'd look up 10" blades that cut steel and if they're compatible with the saw (a hook angle of 5 degrees or less, a 3/8" arbor, an adequate rpm, which I'd have to check...) it should do fine. It's more about the blade and speed than the other components of the saw.FWIW, I love this saw, several years into owning it.

I have never used this to cut wood, just metal with the blade it comes with. I have another Milwaukee cordless saw for wood, the much bigger one. HH.

You would need a saw to cut it! The plastic is very hard. I wouldn't recommend it.

The material around the blade is metal where as the other is plastic. Our older plastic model failed around the area where it stops the blade from spinning around

The blades are not metal. I think it's possibly wood with a plastic type of covering.

While I have not tried to cut metal with this saw, I think I'm safe saying the blades are for wood. Just as there are different blades for power saws cutting metal, I'm sure the regular blade would need to be replaced in the Stanley. I would not buy this saw to cut metal.

Plexiglass is like acrylic or plastic. This cutting wheel will probably melt or burn as it goes through. I suggest something with little teeth, like this: 2013newestseller 6pcs HSS Rotary Tool Circular Saw Blades Cutting Discs Mandrel for Dremel Cutoff W Connecting RodThanks for asking.

My thoughts is, the teeth on the saw will grab the plastic like material and shatter or split the plastic. I've cut plasiglass with a controlled sabre saw and if you're not carful, you can split or crack the material. Maybe go as slow as possible cutting it ...if can test..do that first.

I'm using it for metal cuts, I have had some plastic covering on the metal that it cut through. More of a melting of the plastic. It probably is not good for the blade.

You need to purchase a chop saw if you want to cut metal. This saw is only suitable for wood.

I used a knife once, but was gentle in cutting and didn't have a problem. I would think if you can find some kind of plastic tool to cut it might be safer.

It is plastic and steel. Any drill will work. I was very impressed with its ease of use. Sometimes the pulled shank can be a little difficult to remove (like any rivet gun). Ingenious tool if you are doing more than just a few rivets at a time.

I used a hand saw with a blade specific to metal (it worked very well on the plastic). Just make sure you measure precisely before you cut. You can either make a notch with a box cutter or a mark with a pen.
