could you use 7-1/4 skillsaw blade?

I think you can. When I have to buy a new blade I'm going to try a 7 1/4" skil saw blade first. The depth of cut can be easily adjusted to accommodate the smaller blade. With this saw a 1 1/2- 2" piece is about the max you can stand up on edge and do a miter, but layed down and laying over the blade is just about as fast with let say a 1x4.

yes, i use this saw for precision cuts to make segmented turnings. I removed a 7.25" and replaced it with a 96 tooth 7 inch. Cuts are like glassDan

It should work fine as long as the arbor hole (5/8) is the same. May not cut clean through on some pieces seeing that it is smaller diameter form the 7 1/2 blade.

Probably, but it is the wrong blade in the wrong tool for the job. You need a blade with teeth such as a small circular saw and blade or a carpenter's saw.

Absolutely, just need the right bit. The question would be what would the depth of the cut be and is the blade long enough to cut through what you want. If it is close, may be cut from both sides??????

This saw is more suited for 1/4 in to 3/8in. It would work but it would suck up battery life and tax the saw. From Dave T

I wouldnt be to concerened with adjusting the blade to the miter slot, not important. Adjust your fence to the blade, because that is what you guild off of not the slot. 1/64 off is not bad for a contractor grade saw that is portable.

Yes, but you'll need carbide tipped blades. A power hand saw and diamond blade would be a better choice.

It's designed for one or more fairly thin layers of fabric, and only cuts a smooth curve for items 1-2 mm thick or less. I'm not sure 1/4" would fit within the radius of the blade. Even if it did fit under the blade, the resulting cut would be pretty choppy-- the blade won't roll smoothly if embedded so deeply. Slow manual cutting with an Exacto knife blade would be better.

Chop saws that can use a carbide blade seem to be specific. I wouldn't chance it even if you found one that fit

We do cut 4mm mild steel wire with them, but I haven't tried anything bigger. If it was a soft material such as mild steel, it would be possible, but the similar model with the notch at the back of the jaws (71 31 1200) would be better for this as the notch allows for a better grip due to how wide the jaws are open when facing larger diameter tasks.

I doubt that the blade is optimal for that. You probably want smaller teeth with less "set" and I think they are set in a zigzag or S curve pattern as on a hacksaw. Maybe look at the 2 in. Bench Top Cut-Off Saw from Harbor Freight, Item #42307. It will cut 3/4" diameter tubing.

The blade is 7 1/4, you can do it but in multiple passes. Go easy on it if you are cutting hardwood, it's a very small motor

8" blade should get you darn close, just be sure to do it in small increments.

I haven't used mine enough to warrant changing the blade. I really don't have an answer to your question. Sorry.

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

7" blade 4x4 is really 3.5" so yes with two passes you should be good. Worse case make three passes sides plus one oposite side. Your done

Yes you can. Traditionally only the last 1/2 to last 1/4 of the blade was sharpened. A caveat exists. Generally blades from China are poor at holding a good edge, and are very brittle (i.e. the blade is more decoration than functional), so do some research on the steel used in making the blade.

Yes, I would use a fine tooth blade ,like a metal cutting blade and cut at a slow speed.
