Change the blade on your circular saw without having to use any tools.
A cordless circular saw with a pivoting shoe for more control.
It is part of the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX* System metal cutting circular saw that cuts metal.
We have a 20V MAX* Variable Speed Cordless Reciprocating Saw that is very versatile, lightweight, and easy to use. It also comes with a battery and charger. It has a powerful 3000 SPM motor, a variable speed trigger, and an electric brake to help you be more in control. A tool-free blade change for a 5 1/2 circular saw and a pivoting shoe that can be adjusted make the saw easier to use.
There were more than 100 cuts: 4x4s, 2x4s, 1x4s, and 1×2. I used this saw with the included blade to build my porch railing (with the help of the blade).
If you buy 2×4 treated lumber, you can expect to get 50 cuts for the price of one.
There were some 4×4 cuts that I didn’t like the way they looked after they were treated.
But the treated 2×4’s, 1×2’s, and Cedar 1×4’s cut better than the factory cut—even better than the factory cut.
The 1×2’s were easy to cut together, but 2×4’s were hard to cut one after the other.
When cutting, I don’t think it’s a good idea to make two separate cuts. The blade will pull differently on the second cut, and it won’t be as smooth. As long as I cut 1×2’s at an angle, I did not get frayed or broken edges.
As a safety measure, it has been well thought out.
In order to retract the blade cover, there is a handle.
If you don’t, it can move, as shown by the teeth marks in the second picture.
In spite of the 95°F weather, nothing got hot on the blade.
Then, I found that when the wood was wet or damp, the base was very sticky.
It’s not a big deal, but you should be ready for it.
In this saw, you can make a lot of different adjustments, but there is a little room for error. If you push too hard, your cut might lean or go wide on the back. Take it easy and you’ll be fine.
I didn’t expect this saw to be able to rip boards very well. In fact, I think the blade/saw combo makes rip cuts better than cross cuts.
I’m very happy with this saw. After a little time, I found that it worked well.
It goes great with my Black & Decker 20v MAX drill, which I bought five years ago and still works great today. It’s a great match.
