Does the blade extend all the way to the edge? Can you plane flush to the edge of the tool?

The blade does not extend all the way to the edge of the base plate. It is set in 1/16th of an inch from the edge. Hope this helps you!

The part that extends is the auger blades which can be adjusted for a larger or smaller diameter hole. I have had no need to extend the handle but have used the auger to dig holes up to 32-33 inches deep. I have used this for over one year and would never go back to the other type post hold digger.

Pushed fully forward the measurement is negative inches since blade extends beyond fence. Perhaps geometry of blade and your situation needs clarification.

Fully extended with the blade attached...but not as effective at that length...pretty wobbly...hard but not impossible to get sawing pressure...would make a heck of a paint roller

If I understand what you are asking, the answer is yes. It is as flush with the edge as you will ever find I believe.

No. The blade is exposed only about 1/8". It cuts a great circle on the foam board, just not all the way through.

not really, no. you drag the blade through the grooves... works best on a straight-edge.

This is a great tool. The clearance between the blade and the frame is about 6 inches at the narrow end so this is pretty much the limit working from one cut. I am guessing that Joe worked from both sides to achieve what he describes.

No. The blade component extends into the hollow handle about one inch (of the four-five inch handle). It appears affixed to the handle by a little six sided bolt into the blade and a hollow cross base on the inside of the hollow handle through which the end of the blade fits inside. Perhaps that end of the blade is glued into the handle cross brace. I accidentally bought a second one of these and I'm looking forward to giving it to a friend of mine with 30 wooded/marshy acres in Wisconsin. Probably my favorite economical survival knife. It's a heavy piece of shiny metal with all those extras.

There are NO HOLES in the end of the blade. There is a SEMI-CIRCLE cutout on the end. I have a photo if needed

Yes it can if you are steady enough and hold the planer flat and on the leading (front) surface. Overlap your passes slightly and ease onto the BACK surface just before the front clears the other end. The back surface drops with the blade but don't wobble back and forth as it will ripple ever so slightly. They all do. This thing is a good, powerful planer with good blades right out of the box. Use thin cuts at first until you "get the hang of it". Then you'll wonder why you waited so long to get one!

Hi; I just checked it out, the guage goes right to the blade edge, if you can support the piece it should work.

No separate "edging tool". The inset wheel position "offers closer side edging", means you cut grass close to where the wheels travel and not, as on some other reel mowers, about 3 inches inboard of the wheels.

Not to my knowledge. I do not think the saw maxi was designed for fine cut you would need for flush corners. A miter saw or a miter box with a good saw should do it. Stanley and Buck would be a good choice

Yes, it does but I purchased a better blade so be prepared to do this depending on what type of job you are doing wth this tool. A

Not sure on torque and nor sure if that is relevant to an edger Yes blade is adjustable for height with top handle see photograph of edget handle adjustment is on the left. Blade also has angle adjustment on back of blade housing at bottom left of machine.
