Would this be a good saw to cut rocks in half?

I highly doubt it. I would not push this saw that far. It only opens a certain amount to allow tile under.

Depends on the size of the rock. The material is not an issue -- I use it to cut agates and quartz up to a couple inches in size. The important thing is to go slow and make sure to keep the cut wet.

I bought it to cut granite slabs and small rock cores, so yes it does quite well for rocks.

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.

Yes it would. I use it mostly to level out cut logs on one side so I can cut them into bowl blanks on my bandsaw, but I have used it to remove bark, it makes quick work of it.

I have used mine to dig up plants, big rocks and just this weekend tore down a sidewalk made of bricks, edge is still sharp. With its weight and length I imagine using a big file, while the tool is resting on a workbench will be best.

I would use a sledge hammer to break up the rock fist but this would be a great tool to help get the large rocks out of the ground. I found it grat tool to remove stumps in my yard.

The saw should be fine for cutting up pallets, however, I believe a circular saw would work just as well or better. Also, make sure that any reciprocal saw purchased has an adjustable shoe on it, mine did not and the lack of this feature limits flexibility

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.

I just finished a project that had stone pieces mixed with some glass tiles. The saw did fine for cuts across both types of tiles.

Yes.. a horizontal or chop saw would be better if that's what you mostly plan on using it for however..

Don't know if the saw will work or not. We like the job it does on our log projects. However, I would think you would need a metal cutting blade to cut aluminum.

It's not a bad little saw. I bought it to cut a copper drain pipe in a bad area and it didn't work as well as I wished. Cutting little pieces of wood, I think it would be fine.

I have used it to split small, well dried, pine logs, but this is more of a hatchet than an axe. On harder woods you might have a little trouble. Still, you should be able to drive it through tough wood with a hammer or rock.

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

It's not that hard, but I would not use this to do it. It's a bit too small and the stones would wear out fairly quickly. I would use a grinder - either a bench grinder or else an angle grinder (you would want to put the blade in a vise for ease of access). An inexpensive one is located at http://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-4-1-2-half-inch-angle-grinder-91223.html and the price is only $22. You can use it for a lot of other things too. This Dremel tool is great for chain saws and pruners, etc. but for a bigger blade such as a lawn mower a bigger grinding surface is a better idea. The wheels are inexpensive and you can get a more even job.

I purchased this last year it is heavy especially after adding the 3 point hitch and I have had to modify my mower that I use with it. It does a good job of raking but understand the small stones will still be around. I have used it as a rake for rocks and debris and also to rake dirt for leveling. To rake rocks it works okay just have to go over the area repeatedly and you may turn up more rocks. Will it rake 1-1/2" yes but it will leave some. If you are trying to make a seed bed you will still have work. I used mine since we turned up lots of rocks building a house and it works but requires lots of practice to use.

See Jane's answer. While the saw wasn't made for that purpose, with the correct blade, it should not be a problem.

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
