Description
The Rockwell 4-1/2” Compact Circular Saw is an effective and hassle-free replacement for a traditional circ saw. Just grab it and go when you need to make some quick rip or plunge cuts—no need to lug out the bulky full-size saw. Even though it has the functionality to handle all sorts of projects, this saw was made for 2” lumber, cutting 2x4s in a single pass. Its lightweight design (only 5 lbs) allows for better control of the tool so you can operate it with just one hand. And it makes overhead cutting much more of a possibility than with a full-size saw. The grip is comfortable to use for extended periods. And the smaller blade allows the 5-amp motor to spin it up to 3,500 rpm, achieving the speeds of much larger saws while putting less strain on the motor for more efficient energy usage and increased life of the tool. The easy to access depth adjustment lever allows for a maximum cutting depth of 1-11/16” at 90°. While the bevel lever lets you make the most common angled cuts from 0-45, with a maximum cutting depth of 1-1/8” on those cuts. Again, this saw excels at 2x4s, but is also awesome on plywood, hardwood flooring, pegboard, dowels, molding and more. Comes with one 24T TCT blade, a parallel guide, vacuum adapter, and blade key.

- [SPINDLE LOCK BUTTON] For quick and safe blade changes. Just grab the included blade key and switch out any brand’s 4-1/2” blade

I purchased this item some time in May to do some work around my deck. It was a great help in cutting boards to the measurements that I need. It was difficult to cut boards that are already in place.The only downside is that both hands are needed to simultaneously press safety button and power button. Overall, I’m quite satisfied with it!

GOOD SAW

this is a great little saw for people like myself who find the traditional circular saw cumbersome. The only flaw I see is the same one others have commented on, and it is the position of the safety button when turning the thing on. I am a short, 78-year-old lady, and my hand is just not big enough for using both buttons at the same time. I find that if I press the button and get the thing going and then positioning for sawing, it works pretty good, though. It is a great tool for cutting the bigger boards. Have even used it to cut thin strips from boards and find it pretty easy to saw in a straight line!

Zachery Towne (verified owner) –
There is only one thing I don’t like about this saw. I agree with the reviews that criticize the placement of the lock-off button. My hands/fingers are too small to hold the tool and push the lock-off button with the thumb I am holding the tool with. I find that I have to use my other hand to press the lock-off button and then press the start trigger with the hand I am holding the saw with. I am thinking that I shouldn’t have to use two hands just to get the saw to operate. Otherwise the saw works pretty good.

Easy to handle, good balance, easy to line up cuts, smooth cutting action. Perfect for small to medium jobs. Very good for someone who might not be comfortable with using a full-size circular saw.
Everette Braun (verified owner) –
This saw is really well made and cuts incredibly well. I love the small size – it makes it really easy to guide for very precise cuts. I am so happy with his saw.

Great saw for diy. I purchased for cutting molding and trim pieces. Works great. Not as fast and powerful as full size saw but gets the job done.
Elbert Wiegand (verified owner) –

Liza Borer (verified owner) –
This saw is very easy to use and is not as bulky as a standard circular saw. Great for small projects that I work on.
Margarete Mann (verified owner) –
Handy saw for quick cutoff and other small rough cuts. With a bit of set up, you can make fairly accurate cuts. Blade is not perpendicular to the base so a square edge is difficult to obtain. Gets really hot while operating. Good quality overall. Decent price. Overall, happy with it.
Gilbert Rutherford (verified owner) –
Expectations met. Made my project go so smooth and fast with the right tool. Very easy to handle. It was my first time using a powered hand saw. I felt safe and comfortable using it. Will use the vacuum attachment next time.
Jessika Gibson (verified owner) –
Would have been 5 stat but the button and trigger are a little ackwarf
Sigmund Pfeffer (verified owner) –
I just bought this and it paid for itself on the first use. much easier to handle then a regular Skill Saw. this is a tool to have in shop on the go or nome use.
Shane Wilkinson (verified owner) –
I bought this saw for my husband. He absolutely loved it! He tells me it is easy to use and it does a pretty good job. He is now on the mission to build a table for the side of his BBQ grill.
Mia Harvey (verified owner) –
I really like this product and have already put it to use. I did not give it a full 5-star rating because: it is hard and awkward to apply the side assisted start button. The back part of the saw, where the palm rests, is too bulbous, needs to be either set back more or made a little thinner for a more comfortable feel.
