Will this tool work when laying boards diagonally on 2x joists?

I think it will work just fine, I haven't used the tool on diagonally laid boards but the way the tool is designed it should work just fine, I'm using this tool on a project right now and it's a real time saver, don't forget to buy the optional attachment for double joists if you have any on your project

Yes - contact points of this device do not require perpendicular arrangement, 45-degree angled works just the same.

I'm pretty sure it will, however I imagine that it will have less surface area to hold the boards down, but should still work.

If you are going to gap the boards you'll need a spacer for the end of the boards. The boards get really tight on the end if the boards are warp the right way. I am assuming since it a ceiling you're doing you aren't going to space it. Just realize that this tool helps with warped boards, it will not hold the boards up to the ceiling. I used it on almost every board on my deck and it worked great. With this tool I installed my decking boards by myself on a 17'x22' deck in about 12 hours. Couldn't have finished without it.

I use this on white boards to form boxes for different projects. I have not used it outside. Sorry I could not offer more information.

It depends on how close together your joists are. If the distance between joists is smaller than the diameter of your head then you may have a problem.

I doubt it. This is a great tool, but the bits break if you just move at the wrong angle in sheet rock. I'd be surprised if it could handle tile. Maybe there is a special bit you can buy for it?

I used it with Hardipanel siding (4x8 sheets) and it worked excellently. I assume it would work well with Hardiplank as well, but you may need to mount it at a slight angle to match the planking angle, in order to get a tight fit. This is a top notch product.

If not trying to cover a hugely uneven surface, or large gaps. it worked for me over cement board.

Not sure what you mean by covered, but if you are saying the 2x or whatever width joist you have, has flashing on both sides and the top, my best guess is yes it would. However, it will leave indentations and visual damage to the flashing. Depending on how rough you are, it should not puncture or tear the flashing, but it will crinkle it. The only other concern I would have would be the grip the bowrench will have on the flashing. I think it will work fine, but do not make your buying decision on just MHO.

Just to be safe I would but I am pretty sure it will not but that depends on the size of the cracks. Some of the cracks on my deck are filled in after applying, only the wider spaced boards still have a crack.

I have tried using this sensor on second floor thick carpet and had no luck locating joists. Great on sheetrock walls though. I don't think that there is any sensor that will pick up joists through carpet and plywood.

This machine is for surface planing,(smoothing) the flat face of the timber. It won't eliminate any dimensional problems, such as twist,or bow. It is NOT designed to surface edges, foe that you will also need a jointer

It might, but the longer the board the more it weighs and will wobble. The ends of 2x4s do not flush against each end.

As long as it's catching joists on either side ...I'd say it will work fine for angled ceilings.

It would do the hardibacker board. But to cut through the tile you would need something to cut through tile like a tile bit.

I used them on 1x6 boards and they worked well. A 2x4 would be too thick unless you countersink the back side of the hole.

It should work just fine with 5/4 Pine. The tool just fastens boards to a frame, counter sinking special screws.Material type shouldn't matter.
