What is the minimum thickness this will cut? It says it can go up to 1/2" but I would like to know how low...

Depending on what it is you are cutting, it could be paper or "see-through" thin. I've done that with cukes and zucchini. Harder to do with carrots.

The minimum thickness of cut is when you control. From 0 to a maximum thickness.

Cut yourself. I found the instructions showed a length 1/4" too short.Cut and try ONE 1st for best results.

It varies with the type of wood, blade and feed speed. In hardwood, 3/4" is no problem, but 1" is probably pushing it. In soft pine/spruce I've cut 1 1/2" with a slow feed and no problems. In a material like Balsa it will cut whatever thickness you can fit under the blade holder. Be aware the thicker the material, the slower the speed & feed rate and the coarser the tooth count on the blade. It really comes down to blade type, motor speed and feed. I like the Olsen and Flying Dutchman blades.

I'm just guessing but I'd say the thickness is 1/32 to 1/16 of a inch thick. I hope this helps

A 5" piece will fit under the blade, but I wouldn't feel safe cutting anything thicker than 3 1/2".

I have it on my industrial sewing machine, it is 2 inches thick. I think it could go another 1/2 in. Hope this helps.

For 4 to 6 inch thickness I would go with a bigger bandsaw. This will cut 4 inch stock ok but I cut a lot of exotics and the denser woods really slow this bandsaw down to where I wish I'd got a larger model. For 2 to 3 inch and a good blade it works good. I use it for cutting my lathe wood down to a rounded blank for turning.

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

The blade thickness is 0.10 inch. Please consider This That & WhatNots for your future purchases!!

About 1/2" but would go deeper if you removed the cut off piece as you continue drilling

Haven't tried anything that thick. I think I would purchase a Bolt cutter. Sure to do the trick.

I used this cutting board for woodworking jigs. So I had to cut it into smaller pieces. It is a full 1/2".

Not when installed on my saw - can cut just under 2 1/2 inches - have to use a wedge in the cut to snap Can only cut about 2 1/2 inches deep - have to use wedges to expand the cut or if possible cut from the other side,

No, it's max is 1 1/2". I attach it to the pull out cutting board. Even though the thickness isn't a problem, the depth of the counter overhang isn't deep enough on ours, which is something else to consider.

Thickness is less than 2 inches, say about 1-1/2 inch, but it was a gift so I don't have it readily available to measure now.

I used it on a 1/2" thick MDO plywood. By the end of the cut, the friction heat build up was considerable. I think the problem would get worse if the material was thicker or harder. I would estimate for soft woods, up to 1" thick is the limit. Be sure to reverse the work piece and start from the other side when about half way through in order to get a clean cut on the reverse side. I initially used a Makita battery powered drill and I think it was too much for the drill. It went much easier with a heavy duty corded drill.

We have only cut about 1/2 inch slices. Beyond that, we are not sure. Hope that helps. We are very pleased with our slicer.
