I have not used this saw many times but when I have used it I have been extemely pleased with it’s performance. It has good power and the laser was very visible on the boards I was cutting. I would definitely recommend this saw to a friend.

The saw has plenty of power and makes exact cuts on everything from mahogany stair treads to awkward lattice panels. With the precise guide and easy handling, the cut simply does not wander. Comes with an excellent blade. And I do like the safety features.

Used saw over this past weekend putting up stockade fencing and building a gate.Very happy with the saw. This saw was bought as a replacement for my 25 year old saw that finally stopped working.

This saw did the job and cut smooth and fast. I had to replace my old Skilcraft saw that lasted over 30 years. Great brand and wouldn’t buy any other.

I bought this saw as a replacement for an older Skil circular saw. The new one is 15amp with laser. the old saw was 13amp w/o laser. I stand by skil power tools and will buy them over all other brands if available.

Used it a lot, lots of power, laser is actually accurate, just a little on the heavy side but would definitely recommend this to everyone looking for a new saw. My last circular saw was a skil and it lasted 35+ years threw all the use and abuse my father and I could put it threw. And for the price, you can’t beat it.

Great high quality product with red laser (with on/off switch), fully adjustable for depth and up to 45 degree angles with ample power
Maggie Bailey (verified owner) –
The laser guide is very helpful. The hardware quality is optimal and the saw is well made. The accuracy is great for carpentry projects, and sufficient enough for other woodworks that require more precision. Height and bevel adjustments are really easy and accessible. The only thing that I would like to add to this product is a vacuum adapter or a dust bag adapter.

Nice saw, balance good, no dust collection adaption on saw and laser is 1/16 inch off line out of box. Bought to replace 25 year old Skil (still works), mainly bought for laser.

Bought circular saw for home use – has performed very good so far. Laser line is very handy to have.
Xavier Hammes (verified owner) –
The tab to tighten the height of the blade is soft metal and broke with just my hand pressure.
Abdullah Kessler (verified owner) –
This is a very good saw. Much lighter than my old saw. Cuts good and easy to handle.
Wava Bartell (verified owner) –
I’m brand new at using a circular saw. I found this model easier to handle than the other brand I purchased. It was especially helpful to have literature that came in the box explaining all the parts and functions of the saw. Knowing that I have a web site to go to is helpful also. Great product at a reasonable cost.
