I gather that it "cuts" using a spiral bit of some sort. Can it rip and crosscut thin boards (<0.75" thick) in one pass?

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.

I gave it as a gift to my husband, so I don't have the information you need. Go online to dremel.com. They will have all the answers and possibilities this little tool will do. You will need to buy other attachments I believe for various jobs you will do though.

I would not use it as a rip blade on a regular basis. If you have to rip a short piece or two maybe. this is a crosscut blade and will last a lot longer if used as one. use a combination blade or a glue line rip blade for ripping.

no, it only cuts up to 10" unless you turn the board over and cut on reverse side.

No. The blade is exposed only about 1/8". It cuts a great circle on the foam board, just not all the way through.

It is pretty thin, but still you can't rip it easily. I used a dull blade on my silhouette cameo electronic cutter and it didn't cut all the way through. I could not just force it to pull apart. But, my blade is only set on a 2 out of 10 for depth. It is too thin to give a size

I haven't used it for that. But it's a good bet. It scores through laminate much better than a box cutter or utility knife

For a carving knife it slices about a 1/4 inch thick but not any thinner than that. It really isn't meant to cut super thin as it is really for carving London Broil, Ham, Prime Rib, Turkey etc. If you are wanting very thin slices I don't believe you will be happy with this knife. It has a pretty thick blade to begin with. It is an excellent carving knife for the price and well made.

I think this should not be the purpose of such a saw... its blade is thin and my experience is that it has worked very well cutting up to 1 1/4",

Yes, very easily. Once your saw is mounted to the rip cut and adjusted to show correct width of cut, set at 4 inches and cut away. On the second cut, ensure your saw is "riding" on the 4 inch board to help stabilize the saw better.

No it sure can't cannot. You can grate, or make thick and thin slices. You'll need to get a mandolin if you want to do some quick dicing.

I think it will only cut 10", but if you are really good with the saw, you can turn the board over and cut the 2" piece that's left on the board. I've never tried it, but maybe someone else has.

Yes. You can use this cutter to create puzzles. You'll have to either find and purchase a puzzle file or have patience and create your own. It will cut through chipboard (light weight) with a few passes without issue.

Yes, if you are careful with it and cut slowly, it will cut arcs. It's just like a pair of electric scissors. Worked beautifully on the Hardi board we cut.

I don't think the cutter would work for thin (or thick) sheet metal. Even if it cut into the metal, as soon as it went through one of the cutting blades would snag and rip the metal sheet.

This is NOT the tool for this. Not even close. Did you read the description for this tool? This is for trim work around doors, molding, etc. Can be used for more rough framing finish, but not anything for "ripping". Use a portable table saw, a hand-held corded circular saw, or a stationary table saw.

I haven't used it on beadboard,yet, but I have cut 1/4" plywood bead board( look-a-like) and it does fine on that. Also, I have used it to cut off the bottom of doorframes to install a new bamboo floor, and it did fine on that. Didn't have much luck with the circular blade, but the flat blade that's about 1" or so wide works well for me. It is a noisy little beast, so use earplugs. But so far I am happy with the cost and the performance. Hope this helps!

Both the ripping dude and the crosscut side have some set to the teeth, so it's not really a flush cut saw-- it'll scuff the surface you're cutting to if you ride up against it. Still a good saw, but not the 100% ideal for trimming plugs.
