I need to rip some pressure treated spruce 2 x 10s, around 34 feet worth. Will this tool handle it? I will be cutting through the 2" thickness of course.

I highly doubt it, but if so it would take a long time to do so. But in defense of the saw, such cuts are not the intended purpose of this saw. This saw is intended for smaller cuts in tight spaces where boards need to be cut flush. For the cuts you are doing you should use either a table saw or a circular saw. Preferably the table saw.

This tool is NOT designed for that kind of cutting. It is designed to flush cut door bottoms ,door trim, etc. When you need to raise the floor with carpet or tile, you must trim the bottoms so the door will open or the tile will slide under under. the jambs . This blade has a heavy spline on it and will not work like a circular saw. It is a special purpose tool. You might find a cabinet shop that will cut them for you for a few bucks. Much easier solution. Good luck.

I would not recommend this tool for the job....not enough power. Blade has a back on it so the angle of the cut would be too shallow. Use a skillsaw or table saw or band saw with infeed/outfeed table or rollers.

Sounds like a job for a circular saw fitted with a nice sharp ripping blade. This ain't the tool for that job.

Use of this Bosch cut-off saw for yourproject is completely out-of-the-question. It has a fine-toothed blade, and is designed as a flush cut-off saw for cutting door molding, for example, when installing flooring that is higher than the original. it is not designed to rip anything. Use a circular saw or large (contractors) table saw.

I have not used it for that purpose.The motor would handle soft wood but I don't think you will get a straight cut as youwould with a different saw.

Of course the blade needs to be appropriate, but the saw has plenty of torque and certainly I have had no issue in up to 1" thickness in all the mentioned materials. That is not to say that you could not go thicker, just have not used it over 1".

It will work. The rip depth will come down by half an inch. If you want to use it for cutting 18 mm boards then there will be no problem. Any way I will set my 5 1/2" trim saw on the rip cut jig and try it out. I can let you know in a day.

At least 6 inches, but the motor is not really powerful enough to do that. I suppose if you were cutting balsa wood, Styrofoam or warm butter, you could cut a 6-inch thick piece with this saw. But forget about it for anything else (even pine).

I only used it for poison oak with maybe 1/4" thickness at most. 1" would definitely be a struggle, better off with a pole saw for that....

Yes, that this close to the upper limit of what it can cut. With 4 inch or smaller trees, you should have no problems. The tool is very safe; much safer than a regular chain saw.

I used my saw to cut treated 2x6 lumber on my pier. It ripped right through cleanly and quickly. A bit hard on the battery use though, so you're going to need extras. Overall, I was impressed and pleased with my purchase.

I cannot answer your specific question for sure since I used it only for repairing my sagging wooden gates. My hunch is that if the diameter of some object is few inches or more, the saw probably would work. But, if something that is not thick nor fixed in place, this saw would not work because the serration of the saw "teeth" is very coarse; using such a saw would be a challenge to cut where you want to successfully.

I have not used the blade for ripping pine but a 40 tooth general purpose blade should work just fine and save the 60 tooth for crossing cutting or mitre work

It'll be slow. Additionally there will be more wear and tear on your saw. But it will work. If you are planning on ripping a full 20" though, I'd consider a bigger saw.

Yes, it can be used to rip small jobs. Just keep a steady cutting feed to avoid burning. High volume Jobs and ripping extremely hard woods should be done with a rip blade...

It will cut about two inches. This item is great for cutting through something with a smooth surface like sheetrock. Any breaks in the smooth surface and the cutting blades on the outer edge will get snagged in it and it will kick back and could hurt you. Also you must use a good 1/2 drill when cutting into deeper material. I used mine to cut through plaster and flat wood siding and it cut like butter. For those two cuts it was well worth the cost.

I'm not sure what the official answer might be, but I know I've used it to cut through branches that were around 3/4". I just have to work at it a little. That's for green wood in a hedge, though.

I tend to use mine more for precision work, where there is a need for more portability or where my full size rip saw cannot get in. I would cut 3/4" materials with a full size unit.

Yes--It would but nothing over 21/2 inches--I have a 50 h p and it handles 6 inch with some effort. This application is for stumps--If your pulling whole trees 4 inch will be fine for you. Check your root system-Tap roots are harder and ground level are easier. The job goes easier and faster if you use two people.

Width of 6 inches can be cut, but no wider. And I wouldn't go thicker than 2 inches, too much effort. Time for power tools.

I think it will only cut 10", but if you are really good with the saw, you can turn the board over and cut the 2" piece that's left on the board. I've never tried it, but maybe someone else has.
