This is a cordless hand held band saw, I use it to cut pipe and metal. Don't know if have a blade to cut wood.

It does not mount to anything it is just handheld but it does had plenty of power. I use mine in my shop for cutting tubing and small channel iron. Hope this helps

This bandsaw is not a scroll saw but a crosscut saw for fast square cuts on random length materials . It works very well for this purpose. It would in fact fulfill your needs and much more . I do not know of any mounting hardware as it is a hand operated band saw.

forward handle will mount (through leverage) on a standard tri-stand style chain vice, but otherwise, it's free-hand. As far as the wood, if it's bigger than about 2 1/2" diameter (the wide spot of a baseball bat would be a tricky cut), you probably have the wrong tool. Mostly good for pipe 2" diameter and below, but very handy for that.

I would suggest using a coping saw, they are designed to cut intricate shapes from wood.

Not really, my use is limited to small jobs on soft wood . It is not for heavy use .

I would trust it for most smaller chopping, probably up to soothing as thick as a Campbell's soup can. It would take effort because the knife is so light but it is sturdy enough. As for small branches and saplings if you went at a angle to the tree you could probably pull it through anything smaller than your middle finger. There are some great examples on YouTube of this knife in action, equipped to endure does a really through review.

I'm not sure what you are etching, Eric. I use this tool for wood carving. You can see some of my work at: etsy.com/shop/treewiz If I knew a little about what you are wanting to do, I might be of more help. Gary Wiz Burns

This is a light duty vice. I use it hold circuit boards and small items. I do not think I would use it to hold a thick piece metal, say quarter inch or larger that you want to cut with a hacksaw. What I like about it is the position you can put your work in. Also to mount a dermal tool in the vice. In my opinion it is a light duty vice.

Unless you're planning to do small edge treatments, like small roundovers or chamfers, or narrow grooves, this awesome tool is not a good choice for general purpose table mounting. A better choice would be the ~ 2HP models from major vendors, best would be the 3HP, like the largest Porter Cable or Milwaukee examples.

The wire is pretty thick and holds it's shape if you go slowly enough and if you tighten all the screws down well. If you try to go too fast and apply too much force, and your styrofoam is thick and dense, or possibly damp or wet, it will bend and deform, but you will feel the drag and you will know that you are overdoing it. I think it would be fine, except that since it is handheld, any little motion, even your heartbeat, will be translated into the cut. You might want to consider a table top model for smooth even cuts, such as a router would do.

It is hard to be sure without knowing your definition of "small" lumber. The jaws are very strong and secure. The weakest point of this vice is the mounting system.

you can shave with it, almost. I fine honed it with some 1000 grit wet/dry glued to glass plate to get it the way I like my cutters. By the way.check out "scary sharp" on the web if you really want a great, cheap way to sharpen your hand cutting tools.

Sure can. Make sure to use a high-quality ultra-fine finish blade when you rip it to width, and go slowly. You don't want to splinter the edges.

I wouldn't think so. It's for a rough-cut sort of use for packaging and wrapping. You'd need more of a sliding sharp blade device. I sell fine art prints and this would NOT be an option. If you don't have many to cut, get a nice cork-backed metal ruler and an X-acto blade.

Hello Tiffany, The Velvet Felt on the tray an very nice and feels like a good quality, but the stiffness of the tray felt like a Hard Board - the type you find in hardware stores that has many holes to fit metal pegs into them to hang tools (except the board is smooth). I've cut these boards before and using a hand saw is almost out of the question, as it will be messy and crooked. If you have a cross-cut saw such as a radial arm or a chop-type mitre saw, it should work out fine. However, you'll also need to undo the velvet to separate the board for cutting, then re-wrap your board. I wish I could look at mines to tell you more if the velvet could be undone, but I just threw my tray away. Sorry about that.

NO. Even with a straight edge it would be difficult. It is best for rough cutout work.

I dont do much carving, but I really was impressed when using it to clean deer skull caps and dressing dear, they stay sharp and are easy to resharpen I would definetly try a mora for carving, whittling.

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

It would be my best recommendation, not sure how well it will work on that hard of a surface. If you use this to finish and a stone chisel to make the rough opening than I think you should be in good shape
