I used it to Trim and Maintain brush and small trees around a one acre property.

Mostly vegetation; saplings, tree limbs, brush. I have also used it to take the limbs off of deer during processing; worked well for that. Honestly have been very surprised with the durability of the blade and machete assembly. I would recommend it.

it comes pretty dull, but once sharpened, it can cut through alot, it's sturdy, but thick, and needs quite a bit of sharpening.

Just about anything you would expect to be able to cut with a machete. Trees and tree limbs up to 3" diameter, twine, plastic shrink wrap. When I first got it I hit a Nalgene bottle with it, it cut it about 1/3 of the way through then the bottle shattered. The metal used in construction is very durable, and the blade holds an edge reasonably well. I'd say that for the price, it's about the highest quality machete I've seen.

I has a scrapping blade that comes with it. But I think a heat gun and a putty knife would work better.

I agree with Big Tex. Aluminum, copper and maybe brass you probably could use the same wood cutting blade with a slow feed, with steel you would want a finer tooth (I think the rule is min 3 teeth in the cut at all times.) I've cut aluminum without any problem, haven't tried steel.

I think there was a roughl knife, a detail knife, a large pelican knife and a small pelican knife. They all came razor sharp, i didnt have to do anything to them. I highly recommend ANY flexcut product

I never looked for that kind of blade for it. The company is very helpful. The string is very thick and we have had no problems cutting through what we needed. You do not want to get close to any siding or metal it will cut holes into this stuff

I used scissors to cut with no problem, I am certain xacto for any intricate cut will be fine too. Good luck!

I bought this as a polymer clay conditioner. I don't know why it is suddenly listed under kitchen and food stuffs. Regardless, no, there are no cutting blades. I do believe you would have to get those separately.

We are not certain what you mean by a plastic cutting blade. There is no actual blade included in the kits. There are fiberglass reinforced cut-off wheels (#426) in this kit.

Plastic and metal ... But it's a fairly sturdy plastic (that being said I wouldn't try to stand on it or anything). The plastic isn't likely to crack if you are just using normal pressure to slice or dice (now if you have a tendency to turn green and 'hulk' out ... all bets are off). The blades themselves are sharp. I am wondering though how I am going to sharpen those blades eventually, because all sharp thing get dull after a while.

mine came with a blade that was better for wood. If you were to replace the blade with a metal cutting blade I think it would be up to the job.

I haven't tried, personally, but I'm sure it would depend on how tough your metal is. What are you wanting to cut?

I'd love to know that myself! Used the blade on a huge card stock project and need to replace it.

No sir, not to my knowledge. The best I could get was a semi-irregular rip or cut with crumbling pieces. Maybe with a really good razor blade and a lot of care...but not easy to get a smooth cut.

Paper shouldn't be a problem at all. I would, however, suggest purchasing a "self-healing mat" as well. The mat will "absorb" the blade, so it will cut smoothly through your thicker paper.

None really. I use blade protectors and the Dexter Russel sheaths that come w some of their knives

I have heard you can use an electric carving knife for a clean cut.Good luck!

You can purchase the blades from Amazon.com or the Dremel website. I'm certain the hardware stores may be selling them by now also, but I haven't checked into that as yet. I just received my new blades from Amazon and I'm pleased. There were 4 blades and one side cutting blade in the sets. I bought the two blades for wood. Did not order the one for cutting metal as I do not cut metal so may not be using those. Have a great day and I hope this helps. Fay
