My dad needs the thinnest blade possible, for a manual jigsaw. He's going to use it for detailed wood craft would this work?

I believe you are talking about a Coping Saw. Coping saws use 6.25" pinned end blades and these are 5" unpinned blades and would not work.

Not really. This is for finesse work where you need to do something delicate - undercut a door jamb, for instance. For lumber, either a circular saw or a chop saw, depending upon you exact application.

Definitely not with a hand saw as it is not really a guide for a blade. I guess if it would fit in a miter box it would work but that is jot what it is designed to do and you probably would just be wasting time and energy. This jig simply holds the molding at the correct angle but can not be used as an actual saw blade guide.

I used it for some crown molding, but I opted to then pick up a blade with more teeth from the Home Depot. The blade it comes with will work, but recommend something with finer teeth. The blade it has is great for ripping through 2x4's, but you stand a chance of a splintered cut on crown molding.

I use my saw a lot and the maximum thickness seems to be about 2 inches. I've tried to use it w/o the guide to gain a little greater thickness and it works very poorly.

I wouldn't hesitate to try it. The cut is very close. The blade is thinner than most saw blades. It is flexible so you can get it to lie flush against the surface. There is a medium tooth side and a fine tooth side. You may require a tad of sanding or a sharp razor knife to finish if there is a splinter left. edit: I see the suggestion that it may be too large for flush cutting. I would say that all depends on how tight your work space is. I have cut many delicate materials with this saw and it does everything I've ever tried t on. That said, if you have a huge saw budget, get as many saws as you wnat. This one does a lot for one tool. I wouldn't hesitate to try it. The cut is very close.

The saw is ok for use with thin wood. It will stall and jam with use of thicker plywood, and treated wood

If this saw does not have a rigid back (like a Back-saw) then, yes it can cut wood that thick. However, accuracy will be tough. I would try a table saw first, even if I had to make a special jig to allow for the size of the window. Best wishes, Robt. P.S. I mention the rigid-back because I have many pull-saws for different uses and I do not remember what this specific saw looks like; I am not fluent in Japanese! RW

I used mine whole. Pretty thick. If you have a blade for cutting steel either in your jigsaw that would work and maybe get a nicer cut. But I don't think you will like it cut with bolt cutters.

The jigsaw is better for rougher cuts on semi thick wood. If you are doing something intricate on thinner wood like balsa, you would want the scroll saw.

It will work. The rip depth will come down by half an inch. If you want to use it for cutting 18 mm boards then there will be no problem. Any way I will set my 5 1/2" trim saw on the rip cut jig and try it out. I can let you know in a day.

This jigsaw is powerful enough to handle almost anything you throw at it, but the real question here would be is there a metal cutting blade strong enough to cut tool steel. You would need a proper clamp setup and constant coolant and lubrication to cut tool steel in the first place. As most good jigsaw blades are already high speed tool steel. I think it can be achieved, but if not executed properly you will probably just burn up a ton of bits and be left frustrated by such a task. I wouldn't recommend using any jigsaw to do such a task anyway. But it could be done if you need to do small amounts without great accuracy as a proper machinist would only use a saw to rough cut materials

It can use either but if you use the old style blades I have found it will not accept a very large sized one as the the spot where you insert it will not be wide enough. I hope this helps and I would definitely recommend this jigsaw.

I am not sure about that but I guess you must use what comes with it for sure. I also think the thickest board you can cut is about 1 inch by 15 1/4 cross cut. I personally use this machine to cut thin strips of wood for artisan works.

Yes it will work. The blade isn't as good as a carbide tipped saw blade which I use for serious shrub removal.

The thickest that I have cut is about an inch and a quarter hardwood, had no problem, I believe you could even thicker if you took your time and not push it real hard and use sharp blades! Hope this helps !!

My only experience with this dado blade is with pine and it worked flawlessly over a long period of time while I was making shiplap siding, I would imagine it would work very well with hardwoods too, plywood...not really sure. It's a very high quality blade.
