Would you use this saw to cut baseboard trim and moulding?

I would if it would be appropriate. The cut is very fine and the edges are smooth. However, this is a free hand saw and not a guided miter saw, so the angles are not precise.Woody

The Shark saw is a more rough-cut saw. For baseboard and molding, you would probablyy want a finer toothed saw

Not unless you have a miter box. The problem isn't the saw - it makes fantastic cuts. The problem is that trim and moulding require very precise angles at the cuts, or else you get ugly gaps and mis-matched joints. To do that with any handsaw you either need superhuman control of your arm, or you need a miter box.

Most definitely!! It can be used for any "fine" cutting. Just remember that it is a "pull saw", not a "push saw". (Japanese style)

I would say no. The speed of the blade is critical to each type of blade and the design of the saw is specific to the blade type.

I mainly use my rail saw for cutting plywood. It is far superior for that. You can, with a little ingenuity, perform most table saw functions with it. No dado work. Narrow and short rip cuts are more difficult. Taper cuts are real easy. If I was short on space, it would be a great choice.

Yes it will, make sure to use a wood blade. Again it's a jig saw, if you re going to be cutting a lot of particle board, and depending on the project you may want to consider a circular saw or a table saw, again it's depending on how big the project is... The jig saw is for making round cuts and more detailed cuts, if you re just making straight cuts and a lot of them a circular saw is what you'll want.. I hope that helps

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.

I think this saw would work for you, just keep your fingers away from the blade. I bought mine to use to cut metal strips to use in stained glass projects. Good luck.

I cannot answer your specific question for sure since I used it only for repairing my sagging wooden gates. My hunch is that if the diameter of some object is few inches or more, the saw probably would work. But, if something that is not thick nor fixed in place, this saw would not work because the serration of the saw "teeth" is very coarse; using such a saw would be a challenge to cut where you want to successfully.

I am sorry - I do not know. To my knowledge as long as the overall diameter and arbour diameter match, it should be fine. (Of course, the rotational speed of the saw should be less than the max design rotational speed of the blade). Remember it works best (speed of cut and life of blade) if the blade is lubricated with running water,

This tool needs a little surface area on which to rest in order to cut well. Yes, you can use scrap lumber to add that surface area,but that rapidly becomes more effort than using a table saw. Since I mostly use my table saw for rip cuts of less than 2", I wouldn't try to replace my table saw with this tool, but for wide rip cuts and panels / sheet goods, it should work fine.

If the blade works on it yes. However it's only going to cut so far into it. I'd be looking at a different type of saw if I was trying to do that.

Probably, but its not a high torque machine and so it would be hard on it. I personally would not use my $700 saw this way. Not to mention the melted steel that would stick to the saw and damage the table for precision wood cutting.

This saw is best for straight cuts so while it might be useful for preparing blanks for your purpose it might not be suited to even gentle curves. Keep one in your tool collection anyway. New uses will suggest themselves !

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

Yes. I made a base for my miter saw out of 3/4 inch plywood and put a 2x4 in the center of the base. I then put the base in the workmate and tighten it up and was really to tackle any type of cutting that needed to be done. I hope that this will be helpful for you.

yes, just have to be careful. It has been quite handy. I have successfully cut molding around a window. I also trimmed door molding to open up for a new floor board. Just fine. the tiny vibrations are intense, but not too violant like a recip saw!! With a steady hand, it is quite possible. I would not use thie for large jobs.

the saw yes, but the blade that comes with it is a gapless blade with a rather rough diamond embedding. with the proper blade it should work for your task

This would not be my tool of choice for making the type of cut you describe, although, in an emergency you might be able to rig something up that would be servicable. A circular saw would definitely be preferable especially in terms of smoothness.
