It's hard to answer your question. Any tool can be dangerous without a bare minimum of knowledge. You probably want to watch a few YouTube videos about jigsaws.A jigsaw is a versatile tool. You can make curved or straight cuts. You can cut at 90, or on a bevel. You can start the cut in the middle of a field (like setting a sink in a kitchen counter). With a variety of blades on hand, you can cut wood/plastic/metal/tile/glass/fiberglass.A jigsaw is dangerous, but used correctly it posses much less danger than a tablesaw (which is highly dangerous to the operator even when used correctly).

We have used it for cutting plywood and 2 by 4's and have only had success. Great drill for all our small projects. Have not used it for major things.

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.

not well. The tool is well made and strong but it is made for cutting smaller thinner wood. this is not a corded tool replacement, rather a small jig saw helper.

This saw blade is made specifically for wallboard. I do not believe it will perform well cutting wood. You need a fine tooth crosscut saw to avoid damage to the legs.

Ok, I got the knives and many other products for some international students. These students are presently boarding with me,but since I purchased many products for them and I don't remember if there was a wood block. I did give them a Thanksgiving dinner, and I borrowed a couple of the knives to carve the turkey. I am not a professional turkey carver but I was able to slice the turkey into manageable servings and the knives plus my beginners luck did a good job.

The axe is best for cutting wood along the grain. It may work for breaking the branches lengthwise but hard. Saw will be better and they are cheaper.

I think the tool would probably be underpowered. It's better with softer woods.

i would be hesitant to slam any folder into a board. the inserts are very grippy, i have not had them lose traction ever. but i would also probably use a hatchet or an axe to do any kind of "slamming into a board" work, since that is what those tools are designed to do while not endangering your digits.

Hello Tiffany, The Velvet Felt on the tray an very nice and feels like a good quality, but the stiffness of the tray felt like a Hard Board - the type you find in hardware stores that has many holes to fit metal pegs into them to hang tools (except the board is smooth). I've cut these boards before and using a hand saw is almost out of the question, as it will be messy and crooked. If you have a cross-cut saw such as a radial arm or a chop-type mitre saw, it should work out fine. However, you'll also need to undo the velvet to separate the board for cutting, then re-wrap your board. I wish I could look at mines to tell you more if the velvet could be undone, but I just threw my tray away. Sorry about that.

As I understand it this a tool intended to used on relatively soft materials such as wood or platic. Not on heavy gage steel or ceramics for instance. As such you will have no problem with the duration or performance of the tools. On their availability, so far Amazon has proven to be a good and reliable source, although many Sears storees do carry them. I hope this helps you makeup your mind about this tool.

If you need to make exact, repeatable cuts enmasse, I do not think this is the tool. To do that you will spend hundreds of dollars. This is a budget friendly tool, designed for occasional use. ( In my opinion )

It wasn't even enough to cut heavy cardstock--- it definitely won't cut chipboard. For chipboard, you'll want an old-school guillotine style paper cutter or, if you must have a rotary, you could try the Dahle professional rotary trimmer.

This is what I mainly use this tool for. I install hardwood flooring and this tool allows me to make a clean cut (any height you need) in base in place. Simply invert the matertial you wish to lay and place it along the baseboard. place the tool in place and cut. You will not be able to cut through to corners--- I use an oscillating tool to finish the job.

Inch boards are about as far as I want go with this. Nice little saw, it would probably cut more thickness but would be slow. I use a band saw for thick stuff.

This will do an excellent job for small or short precision cuts in anything made of wood, including plywood materials. There are several different blades available for what ever you need to cut. I do not own a saw max yet, but I like what I saw on the videos so far. Maybe a birthday gift idea?

You may use it as wood and metal for. This tool is very handy for small jobs. That is, he is not a professional. For home and family.

I researched saws and spoke to many. Although I haven't used it yet, the reason I bought it was specifically for cutting baseboards

No matter where you go to read about all the different cutting boards you are going to hear people's opinions. Bamboo is allegedly harder on knives than other woods. Although i would think that Maple would be harder. I have heard plastic is the worst for knives. Yet, I have read of pro caterers who only use plastic boards. At least bamboo ('boo' boards) is eco-freindly. I purchased a teak board from a company that allegedly grew their own teak and did not deforest any other Eco-systems but their own. I have owned my boo board and teak board over a year and a half and use Henckles knives; usually 2-3 times a week. I have not seen or felt any unusual dulling of those knifes. I will steel them prior to each use to help keep the edge. My view, as a casual user, is that bamboo will be just fine. The one thing to remember with any wood board is to mineral oil them about once a month to prevent cracking; do not use any other oil, like olive or saffron, etc; Do not put them in the dishwasher. Keep your knives sharp. So, in brief, do as much investigation as possible and make your decision based on how much you use the board. If you are a casual cook like me, I would recommend boo boards mainly because they can be regrown so quickly.
