Can you use this for casting projects? For example making knobs for cabinets.

Probably yes. It seems like a sturdy product. However, it has quite a yellow tint to it.

Technically you can. However, for the delicate bits, I would use them manually to avoid damaging the bits themselves or stripping the screws.

You could probably use them to carve Plaster of Paris, however, it would be slow going. You'd probably be better served using a Foredom or Dremel tool with a burr to carve plaster. These tools were intended (and usually used) for carving wax models when casting dental crowns and appliances...They are stiff, but not completely inflexible (and it depends upo the specific tool). They are not stiff like wood carving chisels or gouges.

Yes you can use it for that but it is not the highest quality so heavy use may not be so kind on it. But for the price and everything you get with the kit you can't beat it.

I only use it for wood. I dont believe it would be a good idea to do metal unless it was very soft.

I don't see why not. they are very aggressive, so you have to be very careful. I use them mostly on cast iron and aluminum.

yes,but remember, only over low heat such as your simmer setting. Higher heat settings discolor the metal andcould potentially char the wood handle.

Not sure. I have used it for electrical soldering and some jewelry soldering. have to be careful burns a little hot.

Yes you can, I did it sometimes but I used it more to make a flour for ma home made bread :-)

Yes you can but don't waste your time on this unless you're a beginner. It's cheap and you can tell.

I really don't know. It has a fine metal file on one end and a ceramic finishing file on the other so I would imagine that you could--at least on the ceramic file. I haven't tried it, though. Sorry.

Absolutely! I find it particularly useful in concave shaping. It certainly can be used in a convex scenario such as in long flowing curves of an abstract form but I think it is more at home digging in. Happy sculpting!!

I don't think so. It's all-aluminum and would not be very effective. Best to use cast iron or stainless steel.

You can but it is not easy. Lots of working with the edge of the iron. Ideal for pressing sheets and linens. Large flat surfaces are the perfect niche

Probably can..be hard to get smooth and will leave residue that will look unsightly. If you can live with that then go for it..cheap fix and if it doesnt work it can be used for a bunch of other projects.

yes you can with a jig you make, go to this youtube video very informative www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht0Q5MmwWsM

Yes, I'm sure you can, although I've never done exactly that. I did use it to cut finished kitchen cabinets and it was a good clean cut. Be sure to use a fine toothed blade and test it before you make your finished cut.
