Could it be used like a shave horse to hold wood while you use a drawknife on it

Well, it's limited by the height of the "jaw" (about 7") and the length it will open (about 3'), but it will clamp pretty tightly, enough for a knife draw. And it's heavy with big feet, so it shouldn't "creep" much. Hope this helps. Bob

an expensive PROP, but since it's a plastic (?) thin material, I don't see why not---you'll need an open jig saw or something. A knife probably won't do.

Yes, with the correct blade... and I wouldn't make a habit of it. It is really built for wood and other soft materials.

Technically it probably could since it can do some cutting tasks but I would not recommend it. There are other tools much better suited to that job - like a coping saw.

yes it would. I wouldn't use it to chop wood. but it is a reasonably good sword for show.

I think it would work with wood. If it was me for wood I would find one that has a much bigger tip though

Never have used it for that purpose but it does keep a sharp edge. It is a thinner knife which I would imagine could be of use for that. It is considerably smaller in the handle than other knives making it a good knife when reaching inside a deer so probably better for some finer work on wood

It depends on what you mean by wood carving, for fine detailed work like the trim of a jewelry box, then no not at all. If your talking about mindlessly carving sticks around a fire sure it would be perfect for that. It would make a decent fishing box knife.

No, I'm afraid not. It's plastic, and isn't really shaped right for that. Sadly it doesn't work at all on wood either. Cheers

Yes and no, as the blade can handle it, but the saw you mount it on dictates the usable capacity.

Absolutely, just unscrew the wooden handle completely, taking care to note the order of all the small parts for 're-establishing purposes. A good idea at this point, is to reassemble the parts of the secondary handle for storage or to later 're-install into either end of the saw blade for one or two man operation. You have not asked, but I strongly recommend the services of a professional saw sharpening man. You will be amazed at how much pleasure can. be achieved using a really well sharpened saw. Good luck and happy cross cutting.

I would think that would be a stretch, and at the least you would need a special blade, the blade it comes with is suitable for wood. It also has one speed. Not sure what metal requires, but perhaps the next model up, with two speeds, would work?

No. This is a router, not a carving tool. Way to many RPM's to handle that small of shank with any pressure applied at all. Not only would it be a potential breakage of a bit shaft it would be a potential dangerous way to operate the tool. There is a reason that they do not offer it as an accessory...

I think the tool would probably be underpowered. It's better with softer woods.

If you mean like chop down a tree... You could however I would get a different axe if your doing a lot of that type chopping

The blade would have to be very narrow analogous to a knife. Also, something as large as a machete would tax the machine. You need something more industrial for that application.

I certainly haven't tried it, but I see no reason why it could not be so. It is only two inches thick,so a sharp utility knife should do the job. Use a heavy straight edge, like a piece of lumber, to guide the cut. Happy sailing!
