i wanted to cut logs into boards what would be the max size log i could use.

I have tried to do this very thing with this saw and it isn't ideal. With such a small opening it if difficult to work on anything larger than three inches in diameter. Also the saw can only handle a half inch blade means resawing will not be accurate.

i hardly think this is the saw you want to use as the max log diameter would be less than about 5 1/2 " and even that would be quite a load on the motor.

I would say if the logs were straight and smooth you could cut a 4 1/2 inch diameter log into boards. At least that is what I measured on my saw just now. This saw is probably not very practical for cutting boards out of logs although it is possible.

Great unit with a ton of power the unit Comes with a multi purpose blade to cut plastic / soft woods / metal. For hardwoods I change out the blade made for hardwoods. Four inch no worries, if you need to cut logs this is not for you. If you ever need to cut wood larger than 5 inches the unit can be extended to 10 inches you have to use a larger blade and the Grizzly extention block. Hope that helps

One battery will cut a single 8 inch log in about 10 minutes. Most probably use it for smaller wood, but you can cut up to about 14 inches if you have multiple batteries. There is a newer model with apparently incompatible lithium batteries which I would get instead if it were my first tool to use these batteries.

I think you can use for both. I only burned wood. I cut my wood logs about 14-15 inches or shorter and split into 3-4 inches. It's perfect for me.

We were using the 1 1/2" tenon cutter on logs which were 3" and smaller in diameter, and it worked fantastic. I don't know about logs any larger though.

Yes you can make any size you want. The saw-jig is guided by a 2x6 or 2x4 that the jig rides along, and you position that guide board by screwing it down to your log so that your saw cuts off a slab at the thickness you want.

I have never attempted hand planing a board that size, I use bit mostly for sanding. However, it should do fine with a board that size.

Can anyone verify what the total width of this spliter is, and the total length of log it will split.

It will rip a 2x4, which would be the max for dimensional lumber. I've ripped wider boards by flipping over after 1 cut then making another cut from the other end. Just make sure to line the cuts up exactly.

Board size is 27" x 32" and room to cut 2" off on the 27" side if necessary. Great size!!

Any wood cutting blade would work. The more teeth a blade has , the less ripout there is. This mainly applies to wood but I imagine it would be the same with the foam backed trim. Get a 50 or 60 tpi blade

You will need 4 ea. 3/4 in ply...(I used Oak), 2 sheets of 1/4 in ply, in solid wood( poplar,pine, maple etc.) 3/4 x 1 1/2 in about 75 linear ft. You can do it with a good blade on circular saw with good straight edge. Kreg has one that hooks on to your saw for around $30.

8.5 x 11. You can download templates for multiple size logs from large to nano. Paper works well in ink jet printer.

Yes and yes. One day, when I have more room, I will buy a bigger, more powerful bandsaw to resaw wider boards. For 4" lumber, it is tough to beat for the price.

You can make whatever size you want. It comes down to your measuring and placing the guide board in position to cut the size you are wanting.

Ted, I wouldn't advise it. A table saw is the safest way to rip lumber to a consistent width. Next to that a circular saw if you don't need an exact cut.

Eventually you'll find a dado blade set helpful. With the ever shrinking size of plywood today,I'd suggest you first use a router. You should have at least a two amp router that accepts a 1/2" shaft. Make a "t" square guide to keep your cut straight. With the routeryou can make any width cut but will be limited to maybe a 3/4" depth.If you are making dadoes in a lot of material a dado saw set will be faster but you'llfind it challenging to accommodate the weird plywood sizes. Your saw also needs the power touse the dado set as well as the arbor length so you can add or remove blades and or shimsto cut the dimension you desireMartin Eventually you'll find a dado blade set helpful.
