doesn't have a brake, so keep that in mind while using. If you are looking for a good solid saw that won't break the bank, this could be your saw. It is much better than those $40 saws at the box stores, and fairly close to the higher end $150 saws.
While the guard occasionally catches, this is a common problem with all circular saws. I bought this saw during an Amazon sale, and it was a great value. Great saw for the money. It cuts straight and doesn't jump around much. I have used it to cut 2 inch thick boards as well as 4 inch thick boards. While the 4 inch think boards require 2 cuts, it cuts through them like a champ.
But perhaps that's petty for this price. My last saw came with one. I don't need a saw enough to buy a Makita and if you're just an occasional cutter like me then this is a great choice. It's a great and very dependable saw at a fantastic price. The only gripe is that it doesn't come with a rip fence.
Good for do-it-yourselfers. At any rate this saw is average. I purchased this saw mainly on price. I have used them before but they lack the the solid feel of the makita,and the motor sounds funny.
The blade adjustments work great, it has a heavy duty plate,Im very satisfied.It was reconditioned, but it seems brand new.GREAT SAW. Wow a good saw with lots of power good balance and light. I was looking for a decent saw on ebay and they were all beat up or going for too much money. So i thought about getting one at wal mart or sears or somewhere for 40 - 70 bucks and a friend said to check amazon, so i did BINGO.
