I don't have a miter box, how to cut to length? I think my chop saw or table saw would be a bit much, don't you?

Wrap tape around the outside where you need to cut it. As long as your chop saw blade isn't a cheap contractor type, it'll cut through fine.

I used a hand saw, but this material is quite strong. A table saw would be ok I'd think

It is made of fairly rigid plastic so as long as you have a zero clearance backstop, your chop saw should be able to cut it without tearing or chipping.

No. this is not a miter box saw. It has a stiffening bar on it as you can see. That stiffener will not fit in a miter box slot and you only have about 1.5 inches of depth of cut before you'd hit that stiffener bar. However, its a a good saw with many different uses (and it works very well for those uses) and I'm glad to have it. But its not a miter box saw.

I'm the wife...yes, you have to have a large enough saw or you're out of luck. It's one of the easiest tools to use and we put up "miles" of molding using ours. But we did have to buy a new saw in order to cut the large pieces of molding. It isn't very sturdy, but it works beautifully if you follow directions. I notice one of the other folks answered you in detail. Pay attention to what ginomari had to say. It does work.

The length doesn't matter as long as you support the uncut end (going into the saw) as well as the finished end (exiting the blade). Unfortunately, you cannot rip a 6" (width) board because the blade is a only a 10" blade and even when raised up to the max, you really can't rip a 2x4 any more than a tad over 3". The blade isn't "tall" enough to completely rip through anything "taller" than about 3.250". I believe a 12" blade would work, but I haven't seen any 12" table saws (that are affordable).

Absolutely, trim to fit, use a regular hack saw, then snap it off. Takes about 5 minutes

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"

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

The whole thing is about a foot long. I don't know what it is supposed to fit, but it didn't fit my craftsmen table saw. It is a very misleading description. Hope this helps you!

Sorry I didn't measure it but was longer than I needed so I cut it length with a small saw

I think you can. When I have to buy a new blade I'm going to try a 7 1/4" skil saw blade first. The depth of cut can be easily adjusted to accommodate the smaller blade. With this saw a 1 1/2- 2" piece is about the max you can stand up on edge and do a miter, but layed down and laying over the blade is just about as fast with let say a 1x4.

Two totally different saws. Using a straight edge and a circular saw works but is a major PITA. I believe the heart to any home work shop is a table saw and my miter saw. Figure out how to own both and you will never regret the purchase. Let your wife read this post!

Not a table saw. Dewalt makes a nice portable table saw stand. This is for miter saws and such.

This is what I am aware of (Plus I do not use mine I don't find them all that great)Easy installation: simply replace the outer blade washer of your miter saw with the laser guide unit.Does not fit 12" Ridgid, Pro-Tech, Makita LS1221 and DeWalt DW705S miter saws produced before 2005.Does not fit Porter-Cable Quick-Change, Skil and worm-drive circular saws. Hope this is some help..... Darryl

As do most 10 inch miter saw,s ! You should be capable of accurately cutting up t and including 6 inch Base. I would not recommend trying anything deeper ,Especially with compound applications as it is difficult enough without improperly utilizing the Miter saw . I know it is poss. to manipulate your material and tool to complete certain cuts , but!! acquiring an accurate and clean miter will be very difficult as well as the tool is very dangerous with approved use . I would recommend you step up to a Sliding compound and poss. 12 inch if deep base and multiple miters are on your schedule? Other than that I have had this particular saw for only a week , first reconditioned power tool I have purchased and at the price I think its a great dael and tool so far?

can use a circular saw for most of the cuts. also needed a jigsaw,drills .. I think 4 sheets of 3/4" and 2 sheets of 1/4".

You could but the cut would be very rough - a drop saw or even a fine toothed hand saw with a mitre box would give you a much better finish. look at "Stanley 20-600 Clamping Mitre Box with Saw" about $14 USD

Not sure if it will be long enough for what you are trying to do, but I would consider a drill press of sorts...
