What is the tallest material it will cut? I am using 5 1/4" base and need to be able to do vertical cuts with it (not laid flat).

The vertical limit is 6 inches. I have cut 1 X 6 boards on mine vertically - of course that's roughly 5 1/2 inches, but should be good for your needs.

It will not cut it if you attempt it vertically -- I have crossed this bridge before. You'll need a 12 inch saw as this molding.

It will cleanly cut a treated 4"x4". That's about max I have tried cutting wood wise.

it's a 10 inch blade. You need a 12. You can probably cut 5 1/4 base but something won't be true on the cut. we've all been there done that

I don't think it will cut your 5 1/4" base vertical. I used it to cut 4" base with no problem. The blade rises to just over 6" clearance, but it appears that coming down the top of the base would hit the arbor before the blade cut through to the bottom. But this is just eyeballing it, not actual application.

This blade works well on Plastics but I tried it with wood and it even had a hard time with just 5/4" Fir. Find another blade is what I would do. Freud makes a huge selction for cross cut blades.

I would contact them directly with that question. I have not needed to try cutting it. The one I bought is 60". The Grizzley people I spoke to were very helpful.

The manual states 1-4". I have not used it on the highest mark as that seems really high! I did let part of the lawn get out of hand while doing some landscaping and of course the mower will just push down some very tall growth. Keep in mind that the best way to handle tall weeds is to get rid of the weeds in your lawn! What I found was if I set the mower as low as I could (and still push it) that it actually cut the long grass (and weeds) better but it was then very very short. You can set it low enough to scalp the lawn but of course it is hard to push at that low height. I have mine set at three notches up from lowest. This mower is for people who will keep up with their lawn care and keep a normal residential lawn. If someone has a weedy overgrown lawn and only wants to mow once or twice a month they might want to get something else. (and please don't move next door to me!)

I thought I answered this. Generally speaking, I do not know how strong you are, but the trimmer is pretty light for the amount of area it cuts. I would say keep the trimmer chest high or lower when cutting and you should be fine.

A 5" piece will fit under the blade, but I wouldn't feel safe cutting anything thicker than 3 1/2".

Havent tried it but it should be okay. Just adjust cutting height settings.

It will cut it easily. I've cut thicker material but if you plan on cutting a lot of heavy material you may consider a bigger machine.

The blade is about 4.25 inches deep and it has a lip were you step on to get it into the ground. It can't go any deeper that 4.25 inches. You'll probably need to buy something wider like a hoe since this blade is very thin. I hope this helps

The blade has an adjustable height and I've used it on hardwood boards as thick as 1" (full 5/4) .. While I haven't used it on thicker wood, it may work, but I don't recommend using it on anything thicker (this is true for any of these). Use a table saw if you can for thicker than 5/4.

i have to raise hieght of saw for claerence. which is not a problem as that the saw blade should be set to 1/8 past thickness of material working with. thin material great,thick not so good.i really do like working with this tool,

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 !

As with any saw , there are limits to how small you can go before it gets into the dangerous area. if it's odd shaped you may wan to clamp it to prevent it from kicking out on you. That being said , It's powerful enough to go through 2x4's, and trim work . If the parts are that small , you may want to consider a scroll saw. Hope that helps

The saw will cut a 4x4 but is just short of cutting a 2x6 in one pass unless you are willing to roll the board up at the end of the cut. Rolling the board is a practice common among carpenters but it is not accurate and IS NOT SAFE.

16 inches You can't cut with the very tip since it comes with a anti-kickback chain. The anti-kickback plates extend past the bar tip when the cutters go around the tip so you have to limit your material to about 15 inches or less. Saw works like a dream on medium to small material. One could replace the chain with a regular cutter setup so you could plunge cut or cut larger material with two cuts from opposite directions. Plunge cuts can be very dangerous if not done carefully.

as tall as you want......I think they measure the cuts so it is about 6' 6" at the edge and 9' at the peak, but you can make the vertical cuts proportionally as long or short as you want. Adjust the door accordingly.

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.
