What is the widest piece of lumber it can cut? A 1x6? A 1x10? Wider? Info here does not make this clear.

El Buey - the largest it can cut is 2" x 14", at a 45 degree angle. Hope this helps you make a decision. Lin

I use the saw to primarily cut glass. I have made crosscuts up to 24" ....as far as the width, I have cut 48" pieces of glass with no problem. I have used it to cut 12x12 and up to 18x18 tiles....hope this helps.

The biggest I've split was about 20". You can really split any size, you just may have to rotate and resplit if it is a large log.

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.

Which way are you cutting 45...across the 10" end OR board laid flat and 45 across 10" width of board (cut would be appx 14" long. Best answer is NO to either way. I suppose it could be done by painstakingly moving and flipping board...not a clean cut. Best answer is use a typical 10" or 12" compound miter sliding arm saw. Shop around.

The saw will not handle a piece of wood that large. You might be able to make a cut then flip the wood over and make the other side and make another cut. The saw is not a heavy duty saw, it will cut small stuff great. That is what it was designed for, not heavy duty stuff.

It is cedar ~5/8". Good quality, some knots. I think this is the wrong question though. The best hardwood out there will crack if you drive a #10 with no pilot hole. Cedar is a fairly light wood chosen for insect and rot resistance. I added hanging racks for hand tools using drywall screws carefully installed and it works fine. Heavier weight items should use the included layout for cutting shelves.

I think it will only cut 10", but if you are really good with the saw, you can turn the board over and cut the 2" piece that's left on the board. I've never tried it, but maybe someone else has.

The saw will cut a 4x4 but is just short of cutting a 2x6 in one pass unless you are willing to roll the board up at the end of the cut. Rolling the board is a practice common among carpenters but it is not accurate and IS NOT SAFE.

As others have stated, a 4x6 could be cut at 90 degrees. If you want to cut at an angle though, a 4x4 would be your max. capacity. Also, it does take a while to cut through something that large.

The largest tree branch I cut with this saw was about 3 inches in diameter. This is a saw for light duty work.

I do not have t he tool at this site. It's less than 1/4" wide as I remember but greater than 1/8". When making a cut on cement siding I found that it is best to mark on back side and cut on that dide as well to make a cleaner cut.

Mine came as a 5/8" arbor, which I am lead to believe is the industry standard for 10". Some will have a knock-out for use in a larger saw and bigger arbor, this on did not.

the planer does a great job on rough lumber. A jointer is designed to do the edge of the rough wood. I have a jointer that can cut upto a 6" wide board but not near as nice as the planer, my planer has a lot more rps than my jointer which makes a better finish.

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.

yes.2x6 boards (which is what this is designed for) refers to the with before it is trimmed at the lumber mill. after trimming a 2x6 is technically a 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"

I used this cutting board for woodworking jigs. So I had to cut it into smaller pieces. It is a full 1/2".
