Will this easily rip 2X6x10 lumber into 1x6x10? Thanks.

The length doesn't matter as long as you support the uncut end (going into the saw) as well as the finished end (exiting the blade). Unfortunately, you cannot rip a 6" (width) board because the blade is a only a 10" blade and even when raised up to the max, you really can't rip a 2x4 any more than a tad over 3". The blade isn't "tall" enough to completely rip through anything "taller" than about 3.250". I believe a 12" blade would work, but I haven't seen any 12" table saws (that are affordable).

No, you would have to run it through twice. I would not recommend it for that use. Great saw for many other uses.

I never tried, but the actual size of a 2 x 10 is 9-1/4 wide, the blade won't be high enough on any 10 inch table saw to do what you are trying to do. Even in 2 passes.
58312
yes it will, if you cut the boards twice. I use this saw to cut 5/4" by 6" decking into thinner planks for some trim things on jobsites. You will have to go slow and make sure you keep the material straight and plumb. Only other tools I own that i could make a cut like that with are band saw (stuck at a shop) or planer (take forever and make too much dust). Maybe not what this saw was intended for but it works great. Get a sharp good blade and you it will work no problem.

I am not sure, I have not yet had to do this... I will say the longer pieces I've had yo cut because it is a more compact saw with less surface area, you will need table saws or a person to help hold it up.

We used a Husqvarna (farm hand) chainsaw with a 24" bar. We did not have a lot of lumber to cut. That would be the smallest size chain saw that works for small jobs. I suspect 'small' saw would perform better with a rip chain. I was a fun project.

Yes, it can be used to rip small jobs. Just keep a steady cutting feed to avoid burning. High volume Jobs and ripping extremely hard woods should be done with a rip blade...

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.

Sounds like this saw may be just what you need. It's very simple to operate and the blades don't easily break or come loose. It has more than adequate power for most wood projects. I actually used it mostly on fiberboard but some wood and a little bit of thin sheet metal. It did everything I asked of it except cut a straight cut which all depends on the operator. If this is in your price range I think you'll be quite satisfied with it.

It can cut a 2x4 , but as you know a 2x4 is really just a little less in dimensions. I find that this guy can do all I expect. However, it is not a heavy duty unit. If your looking for everyday heavy use then don't buy it. if you are looking for a good all around small unit for your wood shop then buy it. I love it.

Depends on what type of projects you are trying to accomplish. I have been a little disappointed in my kreg jig honestly. It is good for joining 1x dimensional lumber but not good in joining 1x to 2x or 2x to 2x. Id imagine if you went smaller than 1x, it would provide very little strength to joints. The master system gives you a few bells and whistles like the clamp but you're fine saving a few bucks and going with another if you wanted.

Yes, I think it would. Have notched out some planks and entered the cut with a radius. For a more exact cut a jigsaw can be used with a cement board cutting blade. Have used one from Bosch.

Ripping is really REALLY rough. Short answer. No. Cross cuts are about all it is good for.

I would assume this would work, you would just have a seam down the middle of your shelf. I used 2- 4' x8' sheets of plywood and ripped them down to a little under 16" and they worked great. If you don't have a circular saw, Home Depot will rip the plywood down to the size you need for free..... I would recommend going slightly smaller then 16". Hope this helps.

I have a Poulan 36cc and I've ripped hundreds of board feet of Walnut, Cherry, Apple, Pear and some red Cedar with not problems so far.

Boy, I would not want to try that. I would not want to try that with any cordless saw -- probably not with any hand saw. I can't really answer the question, but I think that for that kind of load you really want at least a corded saw which with a good deal of torque, or a table saw. If it was, say, on a roof and you didn't have a choice, you could in time cut through any length you needed -- although with a 6" or so blade you are not going to get all the way through the 4x6 --- but it would take time, and yes, probably multiple batteries. If you are talking about 1 foot or so ripping through that 4x6, that would be no problem, but I don't have an idea of how long you could go on one charge. I regularly cut through, cross-cut, 2x12 pressure treated planks, and the saw had no trouble (as long as the blade is reasonably new). I never tried to rip through a 10-foot section, though.

I don't see any reason it would not work with a 2x6" board. Basically it will just sit on the top of a board and the handle pulls it back towards you. It was well worth the $50 or so that I paid for mine especially if you are working alone. I was working with Tigerwood, a very very dense hardwood and it worked great. Does this help?

It will cut up to 6 1/8" in width. 1" X 6" is not the actual retail dimension of the wood (it is less) unless you cut wood to that size.

I think it will only cut 10", but if you are really good with the saw, you can turn the board over and cut the 2" piece that's left on the board. I've never tried it, but maybe someone else has.

I have used mine on pine 2 x 4s (and a 4 x 4 post once if I remember correctly) which is probably a tougher wood than what's in your armoire so it should work as long as your blade is sharp. However, since the saw works opposite the way we are accustomed in the US, push vs pull, you need to be careful to get a clean and, especially, straight cut so your result looks professional. A few practice cuts on scrap wood should work. I speak as an amateur.

I used my saw to cut treated 2x6 lumber on my pier. It ripped right through cleanly and quickly. A bit hard on the battery use though, so you're going to need extras. Overall, I was impressed and pleased with my purchase.
