what is the deepest cut this saw will make? The cheap Ryobi I bought at the Depot wasnt quite deep enough with a 4" blade.

Caleb... i haven't opened the box yet, so i can't speak from experience on this saw. The product description says it will cut stone or ceramic material up to 1-3/8-Inch deep.

Maybe 1 3/8" maximum. I use it to cut into stone and fracture it with chisel at the cut to break in half

Hi. CORRECTED ANSWER: I measured the depth on my blade (which is slightly worn) and it is 1-5/16 inch (1.32 inch) for a straight up cut. For an angled cut, it will be less of course. I used it to cut through floor tile with a concrete/metal mesh base layer. There is absolutely no room in the blade guard to try an even slightly larger blade. It is a tight fit. The saw performs well and is easy to control as long as it is used with water flow. I tried to use it dry, and in less then a minute the whole house was filled with a thick cloud of dust.

CORRECTION: I didn't have the base shoe fully retracted when I made my first measurement. The maximum blade extension (fully retracted base shoe) is 1-5/16 inch (1.32 inch). My apologies. Dave

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,

Most I've ever cut was around 3/4 inch and it does fine. Hate the handle though. Needs a modified to make it comfortable.

Obviously, depth of cut depends on length of blade. With a new blade in the most down position, the depth of the blade will 3" into the ground. Hope this helps.Another responder said it has a 7 1/2" blade and would go 2" or 2 1/2", this is not accurate, it has a 9" blade and will go 3" deep.

I can't say but I've had issues regarding ordering the specific blade for this saw. I bought one that the seller said was 4 3/8 but it was 4". Otherwise the saw is great!

Just measuring a 7-1/4" Blade at max Depth it looks like 2-7/16". I haven't tried to cut anything thicker than that and then measure the cut to know more accurately.

Hello Tina, I don't have enough information to answer your question. I would need to know the model of your Ryobi saw. The two most important bits of information are: 1) the diameter of the blade and, 2) the diameter for the arbor which fits in the hole in the middle of the blade. For this Oldham blade these dimensions are: 5-1/2" blade diameter and 5/8" arbor diameter. You can check the instruction manual for your saw to find these dimensions. If you don't have the manual, you can go to: www dot ryobitools dot com/catalog/power_tools/all_saws (replace the word dot with periods and no spaces). Check the Service and Support link for your model, or go to the web page for your model, and you may find a link there for the manual, or the specifications for your model. Good luck.

I can't answer specifically for this item because I gave it away as a gift. However, I've never seen a circular saw that doesn't have a depth adjustment. You should be able to loosen the flat plate and adjust it downward to lessen the depth of the cut.

OK so I went to the saw and it has multiple fence stops you can adjust the depth of cut. Moving the fence all the way to the back of the blade/ saw rear. I can measure a full depth cut of 9 inches, back to front of blade and at least 1/4 inch thick. So it will cut through a 1/4 inch thick plate 9 inch wide when laid flat to the saw base. The only thing would being able to clamp it down solid so it doesn't bind the blade.I hope this helps, Robert

The owners manual does not specify a maximum cutting depth. It does say that as the blade wears, the cutting depth needs to be increased from the initial 1/2" to 1" setting. My guess is about 1 1/2" deep with a new blade. The unit is a good edger but not much of a trencher.

The measurement 4" is only the bottom ( Straight edge) of the blade. Hope this helps!

Bill, Guess the question is do you own this tool. If not, I would look at a cheap, but great, metal cutting tool from HF. Plenty of inexpensive metal cutting blades. If you have or need this particular tool and cannot find the blade, call RotoZip customer service. They are nice people. Personally as expressed in my other review, of all the tools I own, this is the most worthless. Fixed depth, vacuum worthless, difficult to guide freehand. Good Luck

The working depth is 8 inches. That is from the floor to the bottom of the handle well. I carry a 71/2 inch circular saw in mine. I have three circular saws of three different brands and they all fit. Each fits in a different manner.

I'm not sure what the deepest cut that it can make. It is a quality product that will cut to the same depth of any similar product, but probably not as deep as some of the professional cutting torch heads. Sorry I can't give you better answer.

Hi Tom, I think you may have difficulty getting a clean cut since the blade diameter is 1/2" smaller than the surface you're cutting. You'd either end up hand-trimming the remainder or flipping and cutting twice. You may want to look at a sliding compound miter saw or radial arm saw for pieces bigger than 7"

Yes,It's max cut is 6 1/4 inches. However, If you have to cut steel tho, find a blade for a 7 1/4 saw or even better sawzall blade. Infinitely cheaper ,easier and will not put makita at risk. Even if you need to cut at bevel, I would find another way. Not sure if metal blade exists and if it does it's gonna be a fortune.

According to the manual, it'll go 2 1/8" deep when not on the track, and 1 15/16" while on the track. I think the deepest cut I've done was a cross cut on 1 1/2" thick oak, and it came out beautifully.
