Can you do a drop cut with this saw

There is a nob that When tightened keeps the saw at what ever height you need it. If you were to loosen it you could probably do a drop cut.

Yes but you may want to use a smaller blade if you and a clamp for the tile

i never try it , but is possible you can loose the motor so you can rise it, slide the tile under and do the drop cut.

Yes the saw does plunge cuts. It cuts 24" well. I lay thousands of tiles a year and I don't know why I didn't buy this saw sooner.

Its is a bit diifcult if you don't have the proper tools. But yes it can be cut

Yes it can be cut with a hacksaw. A dremel tool with a cut off blade worked really well too.

No don't do it! A dry cut saw turns at a much slower RPM and is able to use this blade. A regular chop saw will ruin this blade and the material. Be safe not sorry.

Dunno, never tried. I'd suggest calling Home Depot, ask the experts! Good luck, love the saw, had it for close to 6 years!

You can use it like a wet saw but it is for dry sawing only. You will need to go slowly and not let the blade overheat.

I have not used it for that purpose.The motor would handle soft wood but I don't think you will get a straight cut as youwould with a different saw.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

Not to my knowledge. One thing to be aware of is that the base plate for the saw is flimsy.

I have done plunge cuts with this saw. You have to make sure to hold it very securely and the way I did it is to first touch the front of the plate to the surface to be cut and very slowly lower the handle. It is NOT made to do plunge cuts and it is a risky procedure, it is also very difficult to have and precision at all. The risk being that the whole saw will back off. I wish they had a jigsaw. You may want to try and drill holes first. I did it in a rather soft plywood material. I would not want to do this on metal.

It is possible with the correct blade (and it will cut pretty well) BUT you won't get much cut before the battery is flat. Further, this saw has a big defect that if overloaded it can kill batteries and leave them unchargeable. You don't have to kill many batteries before you've covered the cost of getting a beefier tool that will do the job.

It can be done but it's awkward due to the length of the pole. If you need to do this type cutting frequently a more traditionally sized saw is a better bet.

Not likely. It needs rigid resistance like any other saw. Not great for chopping anything that's already on the ground either. I've sawed down trees that were 8 inches across and hundreds and hundreds of dead branches off of trees. That's what this is designed for.

No. It's intended to be used for straight cuts. You could probably clamp it down and make it work but there are better tools for that.

I think you can, but this may be more than you need for a single yard project. There are cheap non sliding 10' chop saws that may not be much more heavy.

No. This saw is designed for wood. If you want to cut through metal you should consider buying a hacksaw designed for cutting through metal.
