What is the clearance level of the motor housing? Or in other words how thick of stone can you cut on this saw?

3 1/2" is the thickest stone you can cut with the blade at 90 degrees to the table. Use a thick, segmented blade and it should cut through stone like a hot knife through butter. Also, put the water pump in a clean bucket of water so you're not running the "mud" from the tray through it. This is an excellent saw. You will not regret buying it if you decide to purchase.

I just measured my saw 3 1/2" max thickness. That's from the table to the bottom of the saw guard/motor housing.

According to the W1713 manual, the maximum cutting thickness is 2" (5.08cm) with a "blade stroke" of 3/4" (1.905cm). At this thickness, 2.75" of a standard 5" blade will be used; adjust speed accordingly.

This is a tough saw and should be able to do it. I have not actually tried it myself.

depends on the sawblade you use. with the right blade it does cut steel, probably not thicker than 1/8 of an inch. be careful!

i have to raise hieght of saw for claerence. which is not a problem as that the saw blade should be set to 1/8 past thickness of material working with. thin material great,thick not so good.i really do like working with this tool,

Yes you can. On some cuts, thats the only way I could get a nice clean cut, as the stone was so soft. You can't beat the 'bang for your buck' you get with this saw. Used on two tiling jobs using granite and ceramic tile, and was very pleased with its performance.

Go out and buy a cheap circular saw that you don't care about from a pawn shop or purchase a low end skill from a retailer. Buy a diamond blade specifically for cutting stone get a garden hose set it up running at a trickle on to the cutting surface near your blade and then cut. Also take sequentially deeper cuts as you go. Keep in mind that a standard circular saw only cuts 2.5 inches deep. Thats the basic idea I would have to see what you are actually building and what kind of stones your are cutting, as well as know the precision you are trying to obtain.

7 1/4" must say this is the best saw i have owned and I have three others over my years in doing construction work around my homes of which I own 4 and upkeep at least two of my five childerns homes. This is a truly great saw

It is the same as the Grizzly saw. I use mine for cutting solid surface. It rides on my festool track. You just have to adjust for the extra width.

use your own measurement, not the embossed numbers on the saw for setup. then let the saw do the work, do not push to hard.

I don't know what thickness you will be working with. It should with the correct blades. It is just like any other saw of this type.

The max. cutting depth of this saw is 6 1/2 inches with the blade provided. As for steel posts, I think it was designed for timber framing wood. Abrasive cut off blade might work. Do they come in the 16 inch size?

Probably not; the saw body is not svelte. The cut would be canted down toward the end of the blade. Best to just cut it level 1" off the deck, then use a grinder to get flush.

It's approximately 7/16 wide 1/16 thick. I actually order the wrong one the first time it was to thick to even try to use both width and thickness depending on what type of craftsman you have I have an old corded circular saw and it has a snug fit on that

If this saw does not have a rigid back (like a Back-saw) then, yes it can cut wood that thick. However, accuracy will be tough. I would try a table saw first, even if I had to make a special jig to allow for the size of the window. Best wishes, Robt. P.S. I mention the rigid-back because I have many pull-saws for different uses and I do not remember what this specific saw looks like; I am not fluent in Japanese! RW

I bought this saw for my husband. I don't know the answer, but I will ask him to answer you.

It has an adjustable depth of up to 2-9/16 inches. This saw is also a lot quieter than I expected.
