Can the boards be cut with a power saw?

They can be cut, they are not made of some super material. However, you would need to be careful and cut cleanly so that you don't leave splinters that can pull apart. Because these are plastic, you won't be increasing the chance of rot. I have not actually tried cutting them.

I would not know why it could not be cut. I would use a box cutter to do it as sissors might have a difficult time doing it.

I am not sure, I have not yet had to do this... I will say the longer pieces I've had yo cut because it is a more compact saw with less surface area, you will need table saws or a person to help hold it up.

Yes they can. Cutting sheet goods is the primary reason I purchased this saw. I have also used this to trim a door, and there is not a better tool for this than a track saw. My final trim cut on the door was razor thin and I couldn't have done it any other way. The track really minimizes tearout. I always clamp the track down when tearout might be an issue, but I don't know if it makes a difference or not. I would suggest having 2 sets of clamps in case you want that option.

Yes! I just used a quick and easy skill saw. It's too thick to cut with scissors.. if that's what you're wondering.

Dunno, never tried. I'd suggest calling Home Depot, ask the experts! Good luck, love the saw, had it for close to 6 years!

You can cut notches but it is not meant to rip plywood. Its best to use a circular saw or a table saw to cut plywood.

Yes, I think it would. Have notched out some planks and entered the cut with a radius. For a more exact cut a jigsaw can be used with a cement board cutting blade. Have used one from Bosch.

No. This is for hobby parts. A chop saw or cutoff saw much better and safer, and more square.

Yes. You'll need saw horses or something equally stable while cutting the boards. The benches are more awkward than heavy for one person to move.

I haven't attempted what you've described, but I think in can be done. As long as the stock is well secured and the saw is supported by placing another piece of stock next to the one that you're ripping it should be do-able.

Yes, any spiral saw can cut those things really.....you just need the right BITS, but this saw definitely has the power.

I suppose you could cut them, but you would need too do a quilted type x hem on each piece. They are completely hemmed around the whole piece.

I agree with the others. Unless you only need to cut 1 or 2 pieces to length, I would use a power miter saw.

Yes, just measure where to cut and use a fine tooth (not course) saw blade.

Sure, withthe proper blade it would be fine. Keep in mind that this type of saw is really not meant for a stright line cut and depending on the thickness of the material vs. the blade, the blade can wander off course.

You could but the cut would be very rough - a drop saw or even a fine toothed hand saw with a mitre box would give you a much better finish. look at "Stanley 20-600 Clamping Mitre Box with Saw" about $14 USD
