Great value and saw
5 Stars
Great value and saw
I love this little saw. The guard on the front needs to “be adjusted” but that’s with any new circular saw. I put a Denali blade on it to try the blade out and it works great. I oil/wax my blades to help with heat and ease of cutting. This was a great value-I reach for it all the time when I just need something cut without super precise measurements. Even then, it’s pretty precise on 2x4s, etc… and small sheets.
