does this saw cutter have good potential if it is going to be used in a meat cutting company? I do realize it is very low priced, is there a reason?

I ordered this product to cut meat in my restaurant. I process less than 20 animals a year. I'm not sure I'd want to do much more than that with this machine. While I do like it for how I am using it I would not call it extremely heavy duty. I would purchase something with a more powerful motor and better quality parts if it were something that I used every day.

I have only used mine for cutting metal (does an excellent job). You should probably be looking at a variable speed reciprocating saw. I use these on wood 4 inch fence posts all the time and through studs in walls. Its designed for what you want to do and costs a lot less. Corded-- $65+. Probably figure twice that for cordless. Hope this helps.

I am not sure what you are planning to use it for and I haven't used it for anything personally but it does seem to be a well constructed piece and the blade is heavy duty. I hope that helps. If I was in a spot I would use it for sure.

Probably, but its not a high torque machine and so it would be hard on it. I personally would not use my $700 saw this way. Not to mention the melted steel that would stick to the saw and damage the table for precision wood cutting.

As nice as this little unit is---it is still a "little" unit and you will probably find it won't work well for really hard wood (dogwood is also a surprisingly hard wood). It is best for doing a lot of cutting of softer wood AND if they are attached to the tree--that is if you try to hold a branch and cut it in the middle you will find that the saw can't "bite" into it. think of it as a small chain saw.

In my experience with this blade: WITH effort and focus maybe. If it were something you needed to cut quickly as in a life threatening moment, I would say no. I have a feeling mine that I ordered was not fully sharpened though(Bad batch maybe?). So I would definitely look for more reviews.

It could cut such wood with this scroll saw, but it would be slow and definitely not my first choice of a tool for this. This Proxxon is designed to cut thinner and softer woods such as you need for making architectural models or general hobby uses such as cutting inlays or such. It really shines in this kind of use. If you want something for more general wood working or cabinet making that will go through heavy plywood and hardwoods you really do need to pay more and get a heavy duty scroll saw that is designed for that kind of work. My personal recommendations of saws for jobs like this to look at are the Porter Cable Scroll Saw for about $200 if you are on a really tight budget, or the Delta 40-690 for about $600 if you want something that will last a lifetime of daily use and make your work effortless.

I think this should not be the purpose of such a saw... its blade is thin and my experience is that it has worked very well cutting up to 1 1/4",

This tool is basically a portable band saw used to easily cut metal. I suppose you could cut wood but it would be like cutting wood with a hacksaw. Why would you want to do it when other tools like a power saw, sawzall, or jigsaw would do a more efficient job. Thanks Ray Hippele

I don't know. It's a good solid saw, though. I used it to make all the cut for a front end load I built and it work very well. Miter is accurate and it cuts very nicely. I did run though two blades, but I have no complaints at all about the quality or functionality of the saw.

Previous responses are on target. This is smaller than the typical "sawzall" and well suited to similar but smaller tasks. Is very well-suited to cutting in tight places where a larger saw may not fit.

It is sharp, and should cut meat, but as for sharpening, since it is a serrated blade, it would take special precautions. The serrations are large so easier than if they were tiny.

Dear Farmer. I hope you do run into bad people also I am not qualify to answer stabbing question. As a knife, I use it for rough duty; cutting cardboard boxes, wires, and etc. It may not be idea for cutting sandwich since the serration is rather deep for it's size. Best at cutting light rope. It is a tactical style knife so it is intimidating. I had mine for a few months and I am happy with it.

I don't care who makes it. It is junk Larry. If your looking for a chain saw for residential use then I would tell you to buy the lowest grade commercial model like a: Stihl, Husquavarn, Johnsorod (not sure on the spelling) and also this is a very good Italian Made Saw, Dinalli or something like that. I sold both my poulans, after I got my father's 45 year old Stihl running. Recently I picked up a new Husky 445. Hope that helps. I do not know of a good saw still made in the USA. If you want something basic, then go with a Craftsman.

it produces very nice cuts on hardwoods and softwoods but when pushed hard through thick stock it isn't happy as it's not the ideal blade for that use. tends to smoke a bit and strain the saw . i bought it because i like to have the option to cut aluminum on occasion and can be used on wood if not ideal.

Not sure, but cuts wood darn good, quick, clean and accurate. I'd like to know your question too. Saw worth ever penny!

The saw is capable and has plenty of power, depending on you putting the correct blade on it, it will do fine, assuming that you are not cutting 1" hard steal.
