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.

It struggles beyond an inch and a half thick. What I did same problem as you cut as much as I could fast then loped the rest off by hand. Went pretty quick. Will cut most of what you need it for.

I have not tried cutting anything that thick yet, but I think they may be able to handle it. I am sure it can handle 1 inch thick branches.

Preston - while the saw has a 10" blade, it appears that the maximum cut as set is approximately 6". I hope that helps. Thanks, Jason B.

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!

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 !

It can give you a nice cut on any 1/2" piece of wood and 1/3" in softer woods such as redwood or maple. If you have any more questions feel free to call me directly at 407-468-6614. My name is Milena. Thank you

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.

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

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 !!

No, It won't cut anything thicker than 1/16". I have cut plastic and fabric with mine.

At least 6 inches, but the motor is not really powerful enough to do that. I suppose if you were cutting balsa wood, Styrofoam or warm butter, you could cut a 6-inch thick piece with this saw. But forget about it for anything else (even pine).

There is no max length on thickness. The jig uses an alignment pin so after you cut your first set you can move the jig for the rest if the tails that need to be cut down the piece.

it says about 7 7/8" diameter is the maximum. I've used it to cut 3 1/2 holes in 3/4" plywood and solid walnut, and it worked well. Just be sure you use a drill press, clamp down the work, cut very slowly and at no more than 500 rpm. I'm not so sure how well it would cut at the maximum of 7 7/8", but that would depend upon what you were trying to cut a hole in... 1/4' or 3/4" stock.
