Skil Mini Circular Saw 5330 AA (600W, 28.5mm, + 2x Blade, + 1x Diamond blade, rip fence +) (tool)

Customer Review

The Skil mini circular saw is a small powerhouse without speed control and has only two switching states: Off and On. Therefore digitally. Zero and one.
Apart from the long switch at the bottom, there is no other backup to be pressed. The red button on the top unlocks only the function to be immersed in the material and causes the saw blade emerges.
Thus, and the tool with one hand should be performed. On the other hand, the ambitious handyman therefore must pay particularly well, because despite its compact dimensions, the contact with the saw blade would leave lasting traces.
Not so for scatterbrained opportunity hobbyists; the Skil should be served with respect and used.
Your torque is not to be despised; better the unit without a blade switch once briefly to get a feel for how powerful the little girl's hand.
About the purchase of accessories in the form of reasonable saw blades should be strongly reflected, because the supplied sheets make first place not too clean cuts and secondly, should their service life can not provide for long-lasting enthusiasm, is yet to simple saw blades with set teeth.
To change the blade, the screw has to be solved, the left-hand thread is likely to cause confusion if the user does not know.
This means that the screw does not rotate, there is on the opposite side of the button to lock. After removing the external pressure-exerting or centering the saw will be 'immersed' by pressing the red button top, otherwise the sheet does not fit through the opening below. Then use blade and puck, again press the lock, tighten the screw with the Allen key again and finished.
If initially the direction of rotation of the sheet was observed, everything works as it should, otherwise the ignorant artisans may view the action as an exercise and the blade immediately off again and this time properly installed.
The Allen key can be conveniently attach the power cord and remains so sure on the device, which prevents having to search.
The rip fence has some play, but tightened can live with it and work, but not with too lush cutting width.
More critical I see the tube for suction, which has a rather puny diameter, characterized clogged quickly under certain circumstances and, in my opinion anyway fall far too short. When a (severe and stubborn) vacuum cleaner hose still drags on suction tube and thus on the saw, the handling will not confer improved. Twice as long would therefore have been more beautiful.
The adjustable depth of cut is also just as long at the set value as saw blades with exactly the same diameter as the supplied be used. Otherwise must be remeasured, most logically, before the cut.

For the terrace, dry or interior design is the Skil a handy but certainly not to be underestimated tool and often more convenient to use as a 'large' circular saw. With the right blade can also be metals and tile work, plastic is the speed unfortunately almost too high, so burn them often when editing or melt.
