I agree with Malcom, you will further ahead with a 10 inch non sliding chop saw.

7" blade 4x4 is really 3.5" so yes with two passes you should be good. Worse case make three passes sides plus one oposite side. Your done

I think you can, but this may be more than you need for a single yard project. There are cheap non sliding 10' chop saws that may not be much more heavy.

So far we have used the saw to cut 2x4's. It cut like butter at that depth. Not sure about anything larger than that as far as ease of cutting.

I use it with that saw. The only drawback is with the saw: the channels for miter gauge are straight, rather than t-channels so the miter gauge can pop out of the channel if it is hanging over the edge of the saw and you push down on it. But the gauge itself is excellent and far far better than the one that comes with the saw.

Yes it will work on your miter saw. you'll get a nice smooth cross cut especially when its new. Yes its a combination blade and you don't need the rip teeth but for the price this blade will do just fine. You can spend more on an 80 tooth cross cut blade but you're not doing finish work. You can also move this blade over to your table saw and rip some of that hem/fir mill stock or just buy two, they're cheap!

One needs a finer toothed blade for fine cuts. The wood pieces must be at least a little longer than the saw itself for safety reasons. Otherwise, the tool would work very well in my opinion. For fine cuts on thin boards, I prefer to use my sliding miter saw, however, in order not to damage the board at the edges of the cut.

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!

I cut sheetrock, 2X4 and a 4X4 --- granted it is probably not the most efficient way to do it ---- I think it should work just fine. The only thing I have not cut with these tool is metal or tile -- but if I get the right blade probably will do it fine.

These little saws work great on small jobs like trim. I have heavier saws that I use on large jobs. I have two of these LPS 7000 and love the light weight and ability to get in odd places.

Yes. Keep in mind that it will not cut it like a hot knife thru butter. It will cut it much safer than a larger sawzall that is designed to be handled with two hands. The benefit if this tool is that it is a lighter and safer 'one handed operation' option.

Everything I've read says you can join the 2 tracks, but I only have one myself. I have the Makita track, but use the DeWalt clamps and they work great together. I believe you can use the other joining devices to join any of the tracks. I would rate the quality of the cut as outstanding. I have cut 3/4" ply, lots of Corian, and metal-skinned OSB panels (screen doors), and in every instance the cut is better than I would expect- no splintering, ready to use finished edges. I always lusted after a panel saw, but no more- the versatility and portability can't be beat.

This saw can't do bevels the way a full size circular saw does. Nor does it have anything to help make miters. If you have a lot of trim to do you might consider something like Hitachi C10FCE2 15-Amp 10-inch Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw

why would you want to? you can probably get by doing paver but I sure would not waste a miter saw to do so. I have cut some with my standard circular saw and it wast NOT a clean job and I only had 3 pavers to do. If you have a big project get a wet saw.

That will depend on the length of your arbor shaft. The company says you can cut 1/4" to 7/8" widths but that's only true if all of the blades and chippers will fit on the shaft of your saw while still allowing you to use both the arbor flange and arbor washer. Not using both is not advisable from a safety standpoint.

Probably not as it cuts bevels up to 50 or 55(left and right), and on miter cuts you get 50 to the left and 60 to the right . It is a beautiful saw with little tweaks that you can make to it to customize it to your touch! They have put a lot of thought into all the details that come with this saw and it shows from the very 1st cut you make.

Only if the miter saw has the removable plate next to the trigger, is when the LED Light can be installed. Otherwise, it cannot. I wasted money on this item and now I have no use for it. I ended up purchasing the sliding compound d miter saw that has it already installed.

Yes. I made a base for my miter saw out of 3/4 inch plywood and put a 2x4 in the center of the base. I then put the base in the workmate and tighten it up and was really to tackle any type of cutting that needed to be done. I hope that this will be helpful for you.

It misses cutting through a 4 x 4 by about 5/8ths of an inch. I had to abandon a project today because of that issue. Great for 2 x 4's or lumber smaller than a 4x4.
