I have cut black walnut slightly thicker than1.5 inches. I cut compound chess pieces, complete set, without difficulty. Blade quality also is an important factor. Hope this helps.

I have cut hard maple 3/4 inches thick without any problems I am sure I could goat least 1.5" easily with the right blade.

I have cut 3/4 inch red oak with mine.... Try different speeds to see what works best for you....

With the right blade and speed of the blade you can cut what ever will fit under the arm. If you push to fast wood will burn or break the blade. I also have compound cut a complete chess set. Good Luck.

The thickest that I have cut is about an inch and a quarter hardwood, had no problem, I believe you could even thicker if you took your time and not push it real hard and use sharp blades! Hope this helps !!

I've never tried any thing thicker than 3/4 in. If it doesn't work, they're usually returnable. What is the De walt spac on that? LDW

Hi, I normally work on wood that is .5" thick but there is a clearance of 1" between the finger guard and base, you can remove the guard if needed. I also think the number of the blade will make a big difference. I normally use a #3 up to #5 for my projects but prefer the #3 on my .5 so I can sand less and the cut is much smoother. Hope that helps a little !

Yes. My flooring was a little more than 1/4 in but not quite a 1/2 in and I was cutting it with no problem what so ever. So I know it can cut 1/2 in. Again a great tool makes installing laminated flooring a breeze.

How well this machine cuts depends upon the hardness of the wood and its thickness. Soft woods are easily cut if the wood is not too thick. (One half inch or less.) Blades that come with the machine are fine for this. I cut everything on slow speed and take my time.

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.

That's going to be without the track. The track adds 5 mm of standoff from the workpiece (~ 3/16") so the real cutting capacity is about 2" on the track. If you are going to be cutting pieces that thick you might consider a more aggressive blade as well. The standard blade is excellent for sheet goods but too fine for deep cuts, especially in hardwood.

Absolutely, if it is a heavy thickness then it will take a little while at entry and then at exit of the cut.

I haven't tried it but I think it would do OK with a 1/4" plywood. Not sure the "blade" would do well on thicker material. You would have to move slowly. My opinion.

The wood is 1 1/4" thick. Cannot be used as a chopping block but looks lovely

I am a homeowner cutting tree branches as needed. The thickest diameter is about 3". Unlike electric saw, I have to cut this thick branch on both sides for my easy handling. "Easy" means without stress and force. However, I have not experienced the limit or max. capacity of this tool. To me, it serves practically and neatly. Purchase recommended.

Not sure what the actual measurement is for the thickness but I can say that you have to WORK to get it to even flex. VERY solid blade and totally able to use reverse side saw on at least a 1" thick branch and no issues!!! =0)

Is not easy, sorry, including a lineal cut is hard. The saw don't cut with precision.

I've been able to cut through a 2x3 on it's side, and all 2x4 and 2x6 cedar/fir. Just feel the resistance of the wood and take er slow!

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

It is thick but with a little determination and a good knife you can cut it.

Sure! It cuts easily with scissors. I used this in a mine craft themed bedroom for my son, as a rug. ... it is a hit!

12 inch thick????? The tool can handle material around 1/2 inch thick and cut it to a 45 degree angle.

It's a great tool, but I dont know that Id try and cut through .75" of material.. I cut 1/4" mdf core birch ply and it was pretty great but slow.. It is however a fantastic versatile tool.. And highly recommend it to anyone.
