Will this cut 4-ply matboard?

I cut regular card stock that is 110# for card making. I went down in my craft room and tried cutting regular matboard with it. I don't don't if 4-ply is different than the matboard that they use to mat pictures professionally, which is the kind I have. It would be pushing it to say it will cut that thickness on a regular basis. I got it to cut once or twice, but it did not give a truly clean cut. I don't know if it would hold up to that kind of wear and tear. Hope that helps answer your question.

Hello. I had no problem cutting this material. however, I did not purchase the super thick mat. I used a sharp box knife and a straight edge and was super pleased. I mated 4 pieces to cover the room. I hope this helps : - )

Inch boards are about as far as I want go with this. Nice little saw, it would probably cut more thickness but would be slow. I use a band saw for thick stuff.

It would do the hardibacker board. But to cut through the tile you would need something to cut through tile like a tile bit.

Yes - it can cut through poster board - one sheet at a time. I used it on very heavy recycled paper to make round wedding fans. It did very well on that!

The clamp has a screw and nut on each end, so should be removable, but haven't tried. It can easily cut about 10 sheets of 20lb paper at the most. More than that, it starts to not have a clean edge. So not sure if it would easily cut mat board.

You can cut plywood off the edges if you securely clamp it down with a circular, jig, handsaw, etc. It'll hold a 4x8' sheet no problem.

I have cut 3/8 inch plexiglass, and it did just fine. It is not a machine for heavy daily use, but if you need it for home use, it does great.

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

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.

Yes, I was doing that yesterday with cheap 7mm laminate!The blade acts equally over the whole surface of the laminate, so the wider the piece (or if you cut at an angle), then the harder work it is to cut.

Yes, if you're careful and patient. I used this saw to put together a model train table for my kids and did quite a few flush cuts in the process. I have sliced things as thin as 1/8" using this saw.

You should have no problem cutting 32 x 40 mats. That's the size I bought it for.

No, that would be closer to 8 ply, and this only does 4 ply. There is no way to adjust the depth of the blade that deep.

I expect it depends on the material being cut. The plywood and thin material I have used, it splinters. It cuts a straight line but does not cut as I expected it to do as the ad depicted.

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 blade is 1 1/4 inch tall. It can cut 1 inch thick board. I have cut successfully on 3/4 inch plywood.
