Default Lidl Offers FYI

Reading the description of the above it doesn't appear to mention what
material(s) it's designed / suitable for, other than the mention of
the 'universal saw blade. So does that mean it can cut anything
(within reason) or does any fool know that it's just for wood?


Mine (bought in the US) was like that, too. I've used it to cut PVC pipe
as well as wood, and it did happily eat through a nail that I'd missed
when cutting some scrap wood for a temp. jig the other week, but the teeth
seem too coarse for me to expect it to work with metal - I had horrible
visions of it snagging the workpiece and launching it across the 'shop,
never mind any clamps...

65mm seems awfully low for cut depth, by the way. That's got to be a typo,
surely...
