What size blade gives a 1/2 inch cut?

The higher the number the shorter the cut. #10 is a puppy cut (very short) #7F is a summer cut. The 7F is able to remove matting without shaving too close. We use the 7F which is about 1/2 inch.

You should get the 2 if you have a table saw and cut anything longer then 2 1/2 feet. But if you do small crafts like small boxes, you just need the one.

I'm sure it's up to making the cut, but the "in half" part I have to question. How thick is the piece you need to cut? The larger blade is only 5/8" from the edge to the spine that binds it. If the plastic is thicker than that you might need to go with something larger.

1.5" is the result you get after the cut. The tool cut best when the wood is round and no larger than 3" in diameter but bigger than 2".

As a side note, the inside cutting edge of the blade is about 1 3/4 inches.

The blade is 4 1/2 inches. These are very sharp knives. They are kind of light weight, but work very well.

2.5 inches long. The width is trickier: the cutting edge is 7/16th of an inch wide; The widest point is near the back at 5/8th of an inch.

This extreemly useful tool has a blade mounted in it with the cutting edge just a 1/16" shy of 1.5". While it works fine trimming knife sheaths with 3 or 4 layers of thick leather, I never have used it to trim anything close to 1/2 " The tool uses standard old fashoned double edged shaving blades for ease of replacement. I don't believe it would be useful to trim a 1.5" leather piece in one swipe. Good luck in your search. Joe from San Francisco

I'm not sure, based on my experience cutting thin wall steel tubing, cutting 1/2" SS will be very slow.

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

It's designed for one or more fairly thin layers of fabric, and only cuts a smooth curve for items 1-2 mm thick or less. I'm not sure 1/4" would fit within the radius of the blade. Even if it did fit under the blade, the resulting cut would be pretty choppy-- the blade won't roll smoothly if embedded so deeply. Slow manual cutting with an Exacto knife blade would be better.

I just measured the blade thickness with my micrometer and it says .2 inches.

The top two slots are 2 inches wide, max, so a 2 1/4 inch blade would be too wide. Too bad, because it's a nice block.

It's about 10 1/2" (not including handles), but the cutting blades measure about 7 1/2".

HiYes. I used this saw with the metal cutting bladeto cut through 1/2 inch steel rods.

The actual cutting width is 2 1/2". The blade sits diagonally in the mid-point of the pathway which is 11" long.

The blade is 7 1/4 inches but the actual cutting part is about 4 1/4 inches.
