Can I use this to cut a hole in an acrylic sheet if I drill slowly without getting the saw too hot?

yes you could but you would want to go slow and slowly add water while drilling

No. It may have got a little warm but that would be the extent. 15 minutes of continuous chiseling might be a little too much for this tool. If you have that much to chisel I would recommend a commercial or industrial type of rotary/hammer drill. It may cost a little more but you will find that it will hold up better. This tool is perfect for light to medium work and not for continuous work.

Yes, it can, but very slowly. I found that on the tihicker cuts there is a tendency to push too hard, bending the saw blade. Although the cut would be thicker with a tile saw, that would be a faster way to do it.

Yes you can. I do it with a small block of wood. Not using a block of wood to make it soft might crush your tool.be careful and safe with this unit. Works grate

I use it to cut holes in 3/4 mdf. I wouldnt try cutting much thicker. the plate pins are weak

You can, but it is not recommended. Aluminum is too soft and it tends to overheat the carbide tips. I use it for occasional small cuts that need extreme accuracy. Just remember to keep the blade cool. You will greatly reduce the life of the blade.

The best way to cut is with heated wire or in the case if circles, a well heated metal tube. Drills work well also for circular cutting, but saws are a no no. Sand paper does not work either.

That I'm not sure of because I haven't attempted it myself. As far as cutting no I don't believe that will work, but it would burn it off. As for the sealing bit it might be able to, but I'd suggest watching your settings if you try because if its too high you might just end up burning through it rather then sealing it off.

Lubrication ALWAYS helps when cutting or drilling or tapping... anywhere there is friction. It's not necessarily for cooling, but for easier cutting and extended blade life. (heat is NOT the only killer of blades... that just makes it easier to ruin one)But, I wouldn't use oil for a 1,300 rpm saw. I use a solid lubricant that is applied to the running blade. As the blade heats, the lubricant melts and spins to the outside cutting edge. Works very well and even keeps aluminum and other soft metals from clogging the blade.Several stick type lubricants are available here on Amazon for about $8 with free shipping.

You might be better off using a hole saw instead of the plug cutter. This was meant for a drill press and by using it in a hand drill, you could sprain or break your wrist if it grabs too much. imho

I used it to cut through a 1/2 plywood sheet and had to give the hole saw a break half way between. Of course oak is harder so you might want to rest it more. Even though it takes time (maybe 20 minutes for one hole) it gives you a perfect circle instead of using a jig saw and having uneven edges. Best of luck!

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

You can but a Hammer drill would be faster. For small diameter holes with a masonry bit it will work if you take your time.

I used it to power a 10 inch compound saw and a small oil less compressor, both from harbor freight. The saw does no cut as well as when it is hooked up to normal ac power. A sharper blade would help.

I would give it a shot, heat may be a problem so go for slow r p m if in plastic. You can try different cutters also.

It will chip the carbide in a hurry. Just used it this week and went through a blade in my miter and table saw. Buy the cheapest blade you can find for the project.

It might not reach through the material your cutting then? But u could always place something under the material tour cutting if that happens.
