Looking for a new circular saw? I am. I have an old, cheap, I bought her at Home Depot about 10 years, that just about had it with my torture. So, now I look at my options for a new saw purchase. If I go wireless? How much will I use it? What do I need it? How much power do I really need in my circular saw?
I spoke with my brother Joe about it. He is a contractor in Buffalo, New York and a big fan of DeWalt tools. He always goesfor top model in the quality of its tools. Joe said that cordless circular saws, if you are working on a roof or in places where there is limited or no access to power are good. Regarding the strength, Joey says that the newer cordless devices have nearly the power of corded tools. Almost, but not entirely, if not cut with them to design pieces all day long. Joe has both a wormdrive and a regular circular saw. He pulls his Skil HD77M wormdrive circular saw, if he needs to get through the big things. But if he is cutting 2x4's throughout the day, he uses the lighter DeWalt 368K. And for cutting up on the roof, he uses his DeWalt DC300K battery with a NANO battery. Joe said he was damned cold in the nano-technology, since it is in Buffalo and he wishes the reliability of lithium-ion batteries, which is just as well in cold temperatures. And the best part is that the> DeWalt Nano batteries are backwards compatible with all of his DeWalt cordless tools.
Hmmm. But what kind of saw do I want? Although I am not a businessman, I'm an avid do-it-yourselfers who has a sweet job as an editor of a blog tool. Yup, I get a big discount on the high quality of the instruments that bet on Tool King Superstore sells and you are, I have taking advantage of that! (shameless plug over, 0) But seriously, even if I did not get the discount,Tool King has the lowest prices, especially if you are under the renewed version (go, believe me, I am thoroughly checked). Tool King secret (for everything you are e-commerce) Wannabe "that it will purchase and use in large quantities by companies like DeWalt and Makita, and that they be treated in a cheaper price, then pass them on to their customers also known as:.
Anyhoo ~ back to my circular saw to purchase.
Electric vs. Cordless
I'm debating whether to go aCordless Circular Saw with or without wires. My husband and I bought the crappiest, smallest house in our neighborhood, so that we in the middle of rebuilding our entire home to be pretty. Since we both work full-time jobs, we are renovating in phases. We saw only last one crapped out on us on the project. We were framing a terrace with a 6x6 to lay paving stones. Poop, went our circular saw, she had had enough. As I said earlier, it was old, cheap, and Home Depot. Okay, maybe we werepress it a bit on the 6x6's but who does not push their tools to the limit of what they should be used? Especially homeowners, who typically do not have the wide range of tools that would have a contractor, or have (not always the "right tool for the job the right tool for this task would be a circular saw with a PRÄZI been beamcutter Appendix).
After a while the debate we have decided, with a corded circular saw or a lithium-ion battery powered goCircular saw, because we often go several weeks or months between projects. When will we have to use the circular saw, we want to use it now. Lithium-ion batteries have a long shelf life, which means that they remain free, even if it on the shelf in the garage (to sit in the cold) for several weeks. They are also very easy. So when we go wireless, we are for the lithium-ion battery circular saw. Makita makes a nice LiIon circular saw and you can get with the purchasetheir LXT700 18v Li-Ion Combo Kit. The LiIon circular saw in the LXT700 kit includes a 6-1/2 inch blade, but did not see 7-1/4, which is what we are looking for.
I walked into the store Tool King. King's business, the Tool have a huge setup, Doug and the boys re-designed the entire layout, so now you can touch and hold all the tools. I love that! You can really get a feel for which one you like best, because when it comes to options, there are a lot of high qualityTools available, but it feels better in your hands? Most of the contractor grade circular saws have a 15 amp, powerful engine, magnesium housing (for light and strength), at least 45 degree bevel capacity and excellent security. I picked up in person, each as if I do I use it, and check the position of the handles for comfort and how well my line of sight will be the blade.
These are the saws that I compared:
1. I tookThe DeWalt DW368K. Light weight of 9.5 kg is it stable enough to withstand a 1-story fall. The DeWalt DW368K also has a bevel of 56 degrees.
2. The Makita 5007FAK a little heavier at 11.1 kilograms, but has this cool on-board LED light and a ruler on the footplate. How often do you work in a room with the light in the back?
3. I am a big fan of the Bosch company, because everything I've learned about their power tool recycling program and otherpro-active environmental projects. The very nice feature of the Bosch CS20 (10.3 lbs) observed, their Direct Connect Cord Management System. The Bosch CS20 does not have a cable to your power cord into it. So you never have with the replacement of cables and threw your tools, because treating the umbilical cord divided. The Bosch CS20 is also a fan in the front that blows the sawdust out of the way as you cut so you can see where you deal. The Bosch CS20 also bevels at 56Degree.
4. Then there was the Porter-Cable 324MAG. Super easy to 324MAG weighs 9.6lbs. Out of the circular saw I saw only had the Porter-Cable brand an outlet for a vacuum system, a nice feature for working in the garage or in the house.
5. Milwaukee 6394-21 Tilt-lok makes. It is the most expensive of the federal government at $ 175, but has an exclusive deal Tilt-Lok, that is probably more adjustable than me. The Tilt-Lok on the Milwaukee 6294-21 adapting to 8different locking positions, making it easier to work on angles and overhead costs. The Milwaukee circular saw also has a 10-foot, Quik-Lok cord for easy replacement and the cord with a 3-horsepower engine is working as hard as my Polish carpenter father.
A good circular saw should be enough electricity to power through wet wood, without slowing down or cut dangerous setback. A good circular saw should also be lightweight and robust, because you accidentally let it fall to the ground. They shouldChoose a circular saw, on balance, maneuverability and on how it feels when you hold it. Good luck!
