Does the abrasive blade want to slip while making cuts on bolts or dowl pins?

This saw fitted with abrasive cut off wheel cuts steel pins and bolts up to 1/4 inch in diameter with ease. Anything larger is more challenging, but can be done.

No, the abrasive blade does not slip do to the toothed belt and pulleys. We have used one of these saws in a commercial tool room for over two years and so far it has held up.

nope. the blade is integrated and you would have to break it. I had that same issue.

I tend to use cutting blades at high speed, abrasives like the sanding tool at lower speeds. If you go too high while cutting wood the tool will burn the wood. The key is to keep the tool under control and move it carefully no matter the motor speed. As you get more experience with the blades/attachments and the materials you are cutting, you'll likely choose the fastest speed that you are comfortable with.This tool really solves problems!

Yes but only if you are a fanatic. I have had planes for years without doing either and the cut is no different than from the previous time. Releasing the lever cap and the chip breaker will reduce pressure on the blade though I believe to little effect because of the blade width and hardness. I am assuming that the plane will be kept in a moderate temperature not subject to major change.

Not that I've noticed. However, I tend to not slide the knife a lot while on the bar. Hope this helps. Plan to provide your own anchors. Two provided are trash. Otherwise, Good product.

Sounds like a bad bearing. The depth may cause an issue, but unlikely. Depending on material you are cutting, it may bog down with a 1 3/4 hp, but not wobble. I think adam brown hit it on the mark.. you got a dud. I cut 2" corian with it and it cuts like butter with no wobble what so ever.

Jim,I don't know? On mine I have never had a problem. It came with 4 of 5 different blades and they all slide right in. Let me know what specifically you are having trouble with and I will check it out.Mark

I would say definitely yes! This saw makes very fine cuts and is versatile. I love it. I recently cut and installed dowle. It did a great job ...nice and smooth.

Blade spins forward, towards the ground, however I have been able to complete cuts pulling both forwards and backwards without any instability or jumping.

I haven't experienced that problem with this cutter, but with my old Fiskars cutter, that would happen when the cutting strip became worn and the blade would get off into a groove. Once I replaced the strip, the measure would once again be accurate.

Yes It stays In place. I have had mine for about a year and the blade still locks in as tightly as when I got it.

I've found I can get it to stop by tightening the nut on the bottom that holds the blade mechanism in place. It's a temporary fix.

The bolts that secure the blades together may have been screwed on too tight.

The cutter is a true 5/8 [or at least mine is]. In softwood, I have no abnormal results. In hardwood, when I have to pry the dowel out of the cutter [due to friction of the cutting action] you may have to gouge some of the wood. We have high humidity in my area. Your efforts may be different. All of this assumes that there have been no changes in the quality control since I bought it, of course.

I am not sure I understand the question. The guide acts and looks like a big fat washer. It sets between the blade and the arbor bolt head. You tighten the bolt down with the same amount of torque you normally would. There should not be anything coming loose.

You don't have to have either of those things, but I would recommend some clamps for sure to keep things from shifting. In the manual it suggests that the mitre saw can *tip over* backward without them due to the weight of the blade. (Never happened to me thanks to the clamps.) I know I'd prefer mine to be bolted to a worktable but that isn't an option since I have very limited work space in an uninsulated shed and I keep my mitre saw in my room to keep it from getting rusty.

I can't tell that blades last longer if run slower. From my perspective the faster you run them the smoother the cut on aluminum.
