This saw can cut many common building materials. The problem with this is there is a tendency to think it can cut anything economically. This is NOT true.<br>

The stock multipurpose blade is awesome, but there are some things that should not be cut with it!<br>
+
According to specifications ''the multipurpose blade can cut'':<br>
+
Mild Steel<br>
+
Aluminum<br>
+
Wood<br>
+
Wood with nails<br>
+
Some Plastics<br>
+
<br>
+
The multipurpose blade will not last as long or will get broken cutting:<br>
+
Steel harder then mild steel (abrasive cut off wheels should be used for harder than mild steel, abrasive cut off wheels are a much cheaper to cut hardened steel rather than damaging the $70.00 multipurpose blade)<br>
+
Masonry and tile products (requires optional diamond blade)<br>
+
Fiberglass<br>
+
Basically anything not in the can cut list above.<br>
