I want to know if this saw is used to make precise cuts in wood and metal? with this saw I want to build in metal and wood doors, I need to make accur

only if you have a very steady hand and you can keep the blade straight. it would be better to use it for rough work, i believe. my son, the carpenter, would find some other way for precision work.

Yes - that is it's main use for me - fairly precise cuts in steel, stainless, and cast iron. I also use it a bit with carbide die cutters - tons more power than a Dremel.

Hello, I really have not used it for wood working tools and other tools I think it will to some extent for small tools, but what I know for sure is its a dream come true for knives.There is two other models for woodworking and metalworking that are made specifically for these jobs, you might want to check the website http://www.worksharptools.com/ I hope this helped answer your question

mine came with a blade that was better for wood. If you were to replace the blade with a metal cutting blade I think it would be up to the job.

I don't know. I use the saw for wood only. If I was going to cut some metal I would use my hacksaw or a torch.

YES--but if you look in the owners there are Instructions on how to by pass the safety which defeats the purpose of the saw .In my opinion you shouldn't be using a quality saw to cut this type of wood on a Quality Saw, use a skil saw!!!

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

The metal cutting blade if you must use this machine. This tool is made for small precision work. It is not appropriate when a more robust tool will work. I would suggest a different tool, such as a side grinder with a metal cutting wheel, sometimes called metabo. I may not have spelled that right.

No this saw is design for metal only, you would want to purchase a mitter saw for wood

This is a hack saw that is used for metal. Since you need one to cut light weight wood such as bass wood, poplar or pine check out the Stanley 20-221 mini utility saw. This kind of saw would be good for wood probably less than 1/2" thick. If you want to cut thicker wood check out the cross cut saws. They all are rated not just by length but by the number of points (PTS). The more points the finer the cut, it also means it will take longer to cut through the wood. If you are doing modeling type of work you can use several different types of saws but if you just want to cut straight a dovetail saw may help, there are also gent saws a smaller version. If need to cut circular patterns a coping saw or the lighter weight fret saw may be what you need. I realize that you only asked a simple question and I, obviously, gave a very long answer but I don't know exactly what you want to cut so I apologize. It just may be the first two options should be the choice to make.

The saw itself had no problem cutting 1" ID steel tubing with a wall thickness of 1/8". The cut was neat enough for what we wanted to do with it (re-sizing an air gun piston). When it comes to cutting flat metal, the saw has no problem for any reasonable thickness (less than 3/16) that I have attempted. That said, 1/16 or thinner tends to warp if you are just trying to rip a piece without bracing the sides of the cut. Now, I keep saying the "saw has no problem", because the commonly available Bosch blades don't last too long. HOWEVER, I wasn't going heavy enough with the oil (I assume), and I think the blades were overheating (warping and blackening).... So to sum up, the saw is not the problem, with the proper technique and blade the saw cuts metal of a thickness less than 3/16 quickly, and acceptably cleanly. May not apply to stainless steel though, no experience with stainless. -Edit- Remember to keep this saw spotless if you are cutting metal; it will crud up like crazy if you throw it aside with metal filings all over it. This is a quality tool.

it produces very nice cuts on hardwoods and softwoods but when pushed hard through thick stock it isn't happy as it's not the ideal blade for that use. tends to smoke a bit and strain the saw . i bought it because i like to have the option to cut aluminum on occasion and can be used on wood if not ideal.

This is a metal cutting saw. I would be afraid to cut wood with it. you should get a wood cutting saw

I never tried to use this for wood. It is purpose designed for metal, and is not set up for the accurate miters you would get with a miter saw for interior trim, etc. For metal, it is a great tool though. I believe it also turns at a lower rpm than most woodsaws, so I don't think you could just change out the blade.

not sure what the diamond blade is for , but you would be better off using a saw-zal for cutting thick metal, i would worry about ruining the saw motor by overloading it cutting thick metal.i would assume the diamond blade is for tile or maybe thin metal.

Not really. This is for finesse work where you need to do something delicate - undercut a door jamb, for instance. For lumber, either a circular saw or a chop saw, depending upon you exact application.
