Testing the saw on some 40mm-thick worktop, the first thing I notice is the speed of the blade, which runs at more than 1000rpm lower than a mains-powered machine. The power available is obviously lessened as well so while you can push a mains model hard, this saw will start to slow on thicker material. A steady feed rate is the order of the day.

Taking things steadily the saw will cut through thick stock well, however. It's ideally suited for dryer material such as worktops and sheet stock, but with a maximum blade projection of 56mm you can cut standard constructional timber stock.
