Review: good standard circular saw - good saw for the money laser works good. also have skill worm drive for heavy cutting. these two saws are the perfect combination. will buy again.
Review: Easy to use - This saw is amazing. It powered through everything I cut without a single problem. This is my 3rd skilsaw brand skilsaw. I own 4 skilsaws and 3 of them are skilsaw brand. I have watched one video on here where the person had the blade backwards. There is nothing wrong with this saw and would purchase it again if needed but my dream skilsaw is the 16 and 5/8 beam saw skilsaw which will be on my list. I am a wood finisher and buy and sell wood privately. I used this saw to cut all the bad out of my lumber when I grade it before stacking it. It is 5 star all the way. A lot lighter than my 10" and easy to use. No regrets in purchasing this saw. The laser light is assume. These pics should speak for this saw

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this cut accurately? I bought a cheaper Skil and the cut was off by 1/4" at the base. The laser was off the same too.**
A: I made some straight cuts in 2" x 4" s and the laser was right on.

**Q: Can the laser be adjusted by the user if it doesn't line up out of the box?**
A: There is an adjuster toward the back of the laser- a 3/32 allen key can adjust it left or right. Mine moved a bit, probably from the vibration of the saw. I was able to easily adjust it back to straight.

**Q: What is the wattage?**
A: With an AC motor you can't calculate the wattage by multiplying the voltage by the current (amperage). I won't get into a technical explanation but the peaks in the AC current are delayed from the peaks in the AC voltage. The wattage is equal to the volts X amps X a power factor, which is always less than one. That said, the wattage is really only of interest with respect to how much electricity your're billed for. You need to consider the current to determine whether you are overloading your wiring. The 15 amp specification would be when it reaches it's maximum load. I haven't measured this saw but my 15-amp rated table saw draws 8 amps with no load. I don't really have the means to measure it safely at full load.

**Q: I'm looking for an all purpose type saw that can cut wood, metal and plastic (pvc) for projects and not too complicated to use. Would this saw work?**
A: looking and works good for an all purpose type saw that can cut wood
