would the flex shaft be strong enough to cut/ engrave bone?

if you work slow and let the tool do it's work. this is a hobby tool and not built for alot of stress. Great for the price.

My unit completely burned out and no longer works at all. I used it to carve granite with diamond bits, It is not meant for heavy duty use

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 guess so, if you had really good large shears. It's only an inch thick. I would think it would be hard to get it straight, but if you don't care about that, then I suppose you could try.

It's pretty stout. I think that, even if you found a tool to do it, you'd end up with a very rough cut. Probably unsightly.

I cut 1/8" plastic engraving stock with it. It works great if you are careful to use a sturdy straight edge and make 2 or more passes and then snap it.

I think that it would work very well. Something like a dremel could probably cut it. It is light weight so you would have to weight the rock so the sword doesn't overbalance it.

without a doubt.hi-tensile too-one-handed.the spring really helps.this is the only cutter i use when working with paige wire(1348 and larger) where a lot of people use mini bolt cutters.regards,tom( pro fencer)

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

I would not bend it. It is flexible but fragile. The base is pretty weak. Mine was broken upon delivery because of the way it was bent in the mailing envelope, which wasn't particularly sharp.

It'll work fine. It is really light on the back end making it very heavy on the blade end which could be perfect for cutting off a snakes head.

If you are referring to cutting the actual bone, I do not know. I would not attempt it with any electric knife. It's just my opinion.

Its pretty flexible but I don't know for sure...maybe too hard for regular scissors ....but with plastic cutting tool definitely yes.

It is not flexible, it is very close to a small short sword, and could easily slice through the joint spaces and ligaments and dismember the extremities of a game animal. It will also cut onions, celery and potatoes for a Brunswick stew. It's not as heavy as the remaining Becker BK line made from .25 " thick 1095 steel. But it can also cut greens and leafy spices with a rocking motion, and it also has a pommel to crush mint leaves, when making an aromatic tea of pine needles and wild ginseng.

Well I use it more for display, but it is pretty heavy and sturdy and sharp at the end. My guess would be if you are very careful it wouldn't break. I saw a video of someone using the sword to chop a wooden beam in half, but then again it is a cosplaying sword

Actually, I bought the Forti-Flex for bone carving also. I really like the foot control for variable speed. The tool is easy to handle for precision work.I built a clamp that attached to my bench to hang the motor.

Maybe. This thing is much weaker than I expected. Tip extremely small. Might be better off using a Dremel tip.

The blade is somewhat flexible but not flimsy. It is a good stiffness for cutining, bonding
