What is the maximum thickness this saw can cut?

Depends on the set, number (TPI) and spacing of the teeth on your blade. I like mine. But I think the max is 2 inches and I would not try that with hardwood. For a thick cut I would want maybe an 8 TPI skip tooth with a wide set as to make the saw kerf wide to reduce pinching

Max thickness is about an inch and a half. I purchased mine to cut pinewood derby cars for our scout troop if that helps.

It varies with the type of wood, blade and feed speed. In hardwood, 3/4" is no problem, but 1" is probably pushing it. In soft pine/spruce I've cut 1 1/2" with a slow feed and no problems. In a material like Balsa it will cut whatever thickness you can fit under the blade holder. Be aware the thicker the material, the slower the speed & feed rate and the coarser the tooth count on the blade. It really comes down to blade type, motor speed and feed. I like the Olsen and Flying Dutchman blades.

"the cutting depth is 1 3/16, cutting material up to 2 inches thick". That is a quote right from the box. Your cutting depth is limited because of the bar that holds the two cutting blades.

Sorry I can't answer that question as I sent the saw back to Amazon. It was so poorly made I did not want to own it.

I have never measured blade thickness but it is close to 1/32". Flexing of the blade shouldn't be a problem since it is designed to cut on the pull stroke. I have enjoyed using mine. It leaves a much smoother cut edge than traditional push stroke saws (even the Gentleman's Dovetail saw). Hope this helps.

I just measured my saw 3 1/2" max thickness. That's from the table to the bottom of the saw guard/motor housing.

TheSaw-Max will flush cut to a Max of 3/4". Though I have not cut oak, I have cut 1/4" steel and a lot of porcelin tile successfully. You will not be able to finish cuts at inside corners with it and will need to find a method to cut last couple inches at inside corners, if you have any. The Multi-Max would do the last couple inches of inside corners. Hitting any nails will affect blade life. If you find the blade is working too hard at full thickness, reduce depth and use multiple passes. The saw definitely has the power to make the cuts you ask about.

I don't know what the manufacturer claims as the maximum cutting thickness, but in my experience this tool will easily cut 1/4" shoots, it may cut 1/2", but it would definitely not be able to cut a 1-inch branch. For that you would normally need a lopper. Nevertheless, I find this tool very useful for extending my reach to prune the new shoots on the wisteria growing on a pergola in our back yard, as well as small branches on other plants. There is a saw blade attachment available for cutting heavier branches. I like this pruner, and would recommend it for light trimming.

I bought one a few months back and the cutting surface is about 3/8" thick.

I don't know what thickness you will be working with. It should with the correct blades. It is just like any other saw of this type.

From the information that I could find the blade is 2 mm thick. I hope this helps. Thank you American Survival Gear

If this saw does not have a rigid back (like a Back-saw) then, yes it can cut wood that thick. However, accuracy will be tough. I would try a table saw first, even if I had to make a special jig to allow for the size of the window. Best wishes, Robt. P.S. I mention the rigid-back because I have many pull-saws for different uses and I do not remember what this specific saw looks like; I am not fluent in Japanese! RW

The specs for the saw list a cutting height of 4 5/8" I believe but I think the max may be more like 4 1/2" tall wood.

Not very thick...maybe about 1/8" or so. It is usable on both sides as well as both edges for a total of 4 usable cutting surfaces as the blades don't run down the center of the mat.

According to the W1713 manual, the maximum cutting thickness is 2" (5.08cm) with a "blade stroke" of 3/4" (1.905cm). At this thickness, 2.75" of a standard 5" blade will be used; adjust speed accordingly.

I'm sure it could. I've cut through 2 x 4 stock (which is 1 1/2" thick) many years ago with a very much lower powered and lighter weight jig saw. Just go slowly, use a sharp blade, and let the saw do the work without forcing the cut.

it can 12" but thickness will max depth change on a 45' the saw runs into the wood but that the same for all saws

I would think maximum would be about 1" (inch) usable cutting diameter, though the blades open to about 1.5".
