Is it flexible enough to do a flush cut with a dowel?

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

Yes---however, I would practice the cut first so you get the feel of the job. I rarely use my other hand saws any more.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

Yes, you could. It's thick enough. The only thing is you would need to use an exacto knife or other blade to get a a good cut, since scissors don't work well (it will crumble on the ends.)

Yes, you would have to cut close then sand to make flush. The teeth are not in perfect alignment but are similar to those of a shark.. Rows of teeth.

I don't think so. In that configuration, only few dowels would hold the shelve into the cheap particle board

Yes. I did the same. It even comes with a little nut that goes on top of the flush surface to secure it down.

No, it would not fall appart. I did just that. You will get to usable pieces. Cutting on the other hand will not be easy, if you requiring a streight line.

Try any hardware store - Home Depot, Lowes, etc. They have dowels in all sizes. You will likely have to cut it to fit.

While it possibly could be used as a doweling jig, it would be difficult and I wouldn't make the effort. There are numerous doweling jigs on the market at reasonable prices that would be a much better approach. I'm afraid all that would be accomplished using this jig would be extreme frustration. It does do a great job at its intended purpose though.

Henry, I wouldn't say it's ideal for making jointery because it it thin and easy to bend. Maybe I'm just heavy handed, but it would work better for me with a stiffner on the side opposite the teeth. I got it to do jointery, and it does work well for me on soft woods like pine, it also works great on cutting dowels off close to the wood you are plugging. Hope this helps!

Yes, the final is very firm. Its not too difficult to cut; should work out great for you.

No. It's intended to be used for straight cuts. You could probably clamp it down and make it work but there are better tools for that.

I use it to roll bandages up to 12 cm width. I have not tried anything wider. The dowel is only 10 cm.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

Not to my knowledge. I do not think the saw maxi was designed for fine cut you would need for flush corners. A miter saw or a miter box with a good saw should do it. Stanley and Buck would be a good choice

I have been cutting some 2 inch material and have had no problem at all with flexing. I am very happy with my purchase!

Yes Mark. It's quite possible. I have rip cut 18mm ply with this jig into 1" wide strips for a job. I have also cut prelaminated particle board with this. I have had no issues. But one thing when cutting small strips. Be careful about the position of the hands. You need to balance the jig and have the piece you are cutting, steady.
