What is the widest blade you can use with this?

Product specs say 3/8" I just checked my supply of blades and the widest that I have used is 3/8"

I can't say for sure because neither item you listed gave width of the sword which would be the biggest factor. I use a real, metal katana in mine and it definitely has more room for a wider blade but I'm unsure how much wider. The straps are adjustable though.

No, the widest slot is for a large cutting knife. I don't believe it is wide enough for a cleaver.

The longest blade is 2 1/2 inches long. The previous answer is right on the money.

I use a ceramic 7 for everything almost, depends on the length you want though, before buying read what the blade cuts on length.

It cuts as deeply as the pressure you put on the blade with your foot. I don't have the unit with me but my guess is, 8 - 10 inches wide and 6 inches deep at most. Well, worth the price, sturdy and easy to use.

Oh, sheez...you poor thing!! LOL. Three responses and three different answers!! I just got mine out and measured the width of the cutting blade and I concur with Mr. Geer. Mine is exactly 1 3/4" wide. Hope this helps!

The owner's manual notes that it takes a 92" blade, and those are very common--available in probably any home store. Buy the best one you can afford. It can handle blades in the range of 1/8" to 3/4" inch wide. The key is to know what you plan to use it for: wider blade (1/2" - 3/4") for re-sawing, mid-size (1/4" - 1/2") for routine work, and narrow (1/8" - 1/4") for fine scroll work. Note that you'll always buy a 92" blade, but the width will change based on your intended use.

The whole thing is 2 1/2 inches wide. From blade to actual blade, it's a little over 1 3/4 inches

Hello, That's a great question. It will fit up to a 2" wide blade. Thank you, Bruce

It depends on the length of the actual cutting blade. The lenght of the widest slot measures 11.25 inches.

After you buy the saw you will get this size answer. Also it will come with a general purpose ripping blade. The kind of blade best suited for the work you are going to do ........ depends on the kind of work you are going to do. Generally wide blade, few teeth for resawing, thin blade more teeth for cutting curves. Ask this question to the one who knows everything: Google.

I used a German made stainless steel carving knife that is 3/4 inch wide and tapers down to a point The depth measured 5 1/2 inches. My longest steak knife blade is 4 3/4 inches and it fit as far as the handle would allow. I think you will be ok.

I don't have a tape measure on me, so I'm estimating about 6 inches at the widest point (in the middle if the blade). Hope this helps.

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)
