What's the deepest you can cut with this setup?

I used it to cut holes in 5/8", 3/4", and 1" hard plywood. The holes are anywhere from 3" diameter to 8" diameter. For larger holes, I use a jig-saw. It cut through 2 layers of 5/8" plaster easily, but when cut plywood, must watch out for kickback and stuck blades. Great tool, expensive but worth every dime, make carpentry so much fun and safe. I used it to cut over 50 holes in sheet rocks, pine boards, and plywood.

"the cutting depth is 1 3/16, cutting material up to 2 inches thick". That is a quote right from the box. Your cutting depth is limited because of the bar that holds the two cutting blades.

The thickest that I have cut is about an inch and a quarter hardwood, had no problem, I believe you could even thicker if you took your time and not push it real hard and use sharp blades! Hope this helps !!

The blade depth is adjustable. I have used it to cut 2-ply and 4-ply museum board as well as 1/8" foam-core boards. Does a very credible job.

The Eight Inch Set Will Work The Best.....If You Nee A Greater Cutting Depth.....But They Both Will Work Just Fine For Normal Use....

I have cut 3/4 inch red oak with mine.... Try different speeds to see what works best for you....

As I understand it, your question is really how deep a cut can it make?The answer is a little over 1 and a half inches, so the answer is no.I would try to get someone with a table saw or check with Home Depot or Lowes and see if they will do it.

Diameter of cutting blade is 3," so maximum depth of cut is 1-1/2," not enough to cut through a 2x4 in a single pass

I would guess it to be about an inch deep in the middle. I use it mostly for chopping herbs. Works great for that.

Not when installed on my saw - can cut just under 2 1/2 inches - have to use a wedge in the cut to snap Can only cut about 2 1/2 inches deep - have to use wedges to expand the cut or if possible cut from the other side,

I don't know, because I only needed to cut at right angles and shallow depths. That said, you can definitely extend the blade to cut at 1/2 an inch, but I'm not sure (this is not a doubt, just a lack of personal experience) how well it will work compared to the very reliable and clean cuts I get.

The thickest stuff I have cut with the deep blade is tag board that is like 3 sheets of card stock thick. It did not cut all the way through.

Blade cuts 55mm (2,17in) deep at 90 degrees and 43mm (1,62in) at 45degrees.

I'm not sure what the deepest cut that it can make. It is a quality product that will cut to the same depth of any similar product, but probably not as deep as some of the professional cutting torch heads. Sorry I can't give you better answer.

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?

You can get ambitious and attack branches 12"+ but for "normal" use you will likely want to stay under 6" (and more in the 4" and under). This thing cuts those smaller things like butter.

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.

At 1 3/4 depth cut you will just make it and the plunge action is ver smooth, I prefer two hands for better control then one hand for the rip, if possible I would use the guide rails
