With the correct blade (for metal) will this cut through thick metal spikes (like the ones used to hold together a timber retaining wall)?

I just cut down a chain link fence . No problems very powerful tool. Make sure you have the right blade it took 5 blades to cut down 10 poles

HiYes. I used this saw with the metal cutting bladeto cut through 1/2 inch steel rods.

I never looked for that kind of blade for it. The company is very helpful. The string is very thick and we have had no problems cutting through what we needed. You do not want to get close to any siding or metal it will cut holes into this stuff

Hi, for the obvious Safety Police reasons this sort of question falls out of the scope of valuable answers.For cutting metal you should use a blade that is made for that purpose. They are not expensive.

Yes. This isn't a blade. It's a chunk of metal, you'd have to do ALOT of sharpening.

Well, I would not do it-inadequate fence, inadequate miter gage for wood, too much blade exposed for a toothed blade. I like my fingers and eyes too much to try a wood saw blade in a metal cutting saw. Unless you are in need of a metal cut off saw, this is not the saw you want.

Yes, make sure you get the right blade for it. If it is the thick metal plates, a standing band saw may be better though!

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.

It cuts wood, but just a little slower, because the blade is made for metal. However, I have done it without a problem on occasion...

What it can cut depends on the bit you use. I would not think that this is the best choice for steel door frames, but then again I am a woodworker and do not even know what is available for metal working, just out of my area.

No it is meant to cut wood. I would try a hacksaw with a metal cutting blade.

With the right blade attachment, sure it will.However, you would get better (and quicker) results with a circular saw or, even better, a table saw.

You need to purchase a chop saw if you want to cut metal. This saw is only suitable for wood.

Yes it will. I have that tool and use these blades with it. Will work 100 percent with no issues.

yes it can. I used a metal tooth hacksaw blade and filed down the edges. lotta overkill

yes - you will need to buy metal cutting blade - comes with wood cutting blade.

cutting expanded metal is very difficult with any plasma cutter, your best bet is a sawzall with a sharp blade

I would believe that it all depends on the material, and the width of what you are cutting and the length of blade you are using. As the two gentlemen said, using as much of the blade in the cut as you can, and long stroke for wood and short for metal.
