Is the 20-045 saw considered a cross-cut saw?

No problem hope the info helped you out.. But like I said too me a Cross cut is a long two person saw or the little bow types for just wet tree and limbs But like I said this one does great on the smaller stuff I use it on shrubs and willow trees when the bow is to awkward and the stuff is too small for the chainsaw..

They say its a cross cut and it does do well on small tree limbs and small shrub trees now me a cross cut is a totally different animal in that they are used to cut trees and have deep teeth.. This little Stanley does do a great job cutting all types of boards ..I like mine and I use that on 2" and 3" limbs rather then dig out the chainsaw ...

I can't answer that question, but this is the best hand saw I have ever owned. Very versatile, does everything this home owner asks. Doesn't bind as longer and thinner hand saws can.

Oh hell yes this saw eats a 2x4 like a twig I had a similar Destin that can not hold a candle to this one I can cut a 2x6 or 4x4 with it faster then I can set up a chop saw or my circular saw for a few cuts .. You;'ll not be sorry if you decide on this little saw.. Cuts a 2x4 like a hot knife through butter goes with the grain just as well for notching cuts

This is a crosscut saw with a reinforced back that cannot pass through a rip cut.

No, but you will be happy that you bought this saw. It has power and is very smooth running. I researched for awhile before I bought this and I'm very happy with this saw.

I can't say but I've had issues regarding ordering the specific blade for this saw. I bought one that the seller said was 4 3/8 but it was 4". Otherwise the saw is great!

Of course it is, and is ADJUSTABLE for quantity also. (One of VERY few)! This is my favorite saw of all time as well. Powerfull cuts like a heavyweight buy is lightest saw I own. Like a little piece of titanium diamond built jewelry!

The saw comes with one 40 tooth "combination" carbide blade, adequate for many tasks including cross cuts and ripping. It will not, however, produce a smooth cut like a high quality Forrest or Ridge Carbide blade will. The Bosch blade is a "starter kit". If you want a cut quality that will seem like it has been planed smooth, you will have to upgrade. I bought a 40 tooth Ridge Carbide blade with 1/8" kerf, and I get that smooth, planed look every time. By the way, I continue to love this saw and appreciate it more every time I use it.

Crosscutting is easier on the saw than ripping, so why not just go with the full kerf? Especially with a 12" span...most decent saws will spin it easily on crosscuts. Unless your making lots of cuts and the wood savings is substantial, there's little incentive not go with full kerf in this situation.

No idea but the Saw and the Blade I got from Makita was awesome. We were cross cutting white pine 6 x 12, 8 x 8, and 6 x 8. Worked great.

Good question I really can't say if it is or not... I got them one because i love Dewalt stuff and two it came in a two pact... I put one in my Dewalt table saw and one in my Dewalt power miter box... They make nice clean cuts and I'm very satisfied...

since there are differing answers here, i wanted to put the correct answer, obtained from the dewalt website (http://www.dewalt.com/tools/woodworking-plate-joiners-dw682k.aspx), which is that it cuts sizes 0, 10, and 20

I've had this saw for a long time. It's great for light duty use. I wouldn't use it on 12" solid metal regularly. And the 20v battery will not work. If u need to cut alot of hard steel go with a plug in cord one. They are way stronger. The cord is a hassle but having to recharge batteries every 5 minutes and weaker cutting ability off sets the hassle of the cord. If r just cutting 2x4, plywood, nails, PVC, copper/brass, nails/bolts tree branch then this saw is worth the money

It has really fine teeth so technically it would be a rip saw but can be used for both. It is for very fine curf cuts and I found it worked well when building the wooden frame of my kayak.

I have done test rip cuts in 4/4 maple and it works well, not sure if this is beyond the design. Mostly using the saw for various cross cuts (trimming plugs, end pieces) on maple and walnut. Even tried it out on bubinga and it cuts well if you go slowly. Love the canvas cover.

This is a good cut off saw.for cutting cross grain. I think for doing contour work on fine grain wood a good quality rasp might offer more benefits.

Definitely. So far I have used the saw to rip (cut lengthwise) and cross cut edge glued red oak panels greater than 3 1/2". It's a handy little saw.
