A powerful 15-amp motor spins at 5300 RPM for faster cuts and more speed.
A 4-inch carbide-tipped blade is included in the 7-1.
Blade changes are a breeze with the spindle lock.
For a wide range of cuts, a 51° bevel capacity with a positive stop at 45° is available.
For better sight, use a dust blower to maintain the line-of-cut clear of sawdust.
Accidental starts are reduced thanks to the safety lock/guarded trigger and power-on indicator.
The SKIL 5280 7-1/4 inch circular saw is ideal for the more experienced user who need a powerful circular saw with advanced capabilities.
The 15-Amp motor delivers the power and performance you need to cut lumber and sheet products rapidly for a room extension, deck, and other projects.
The inbuilt dust blower keeps the line of cut sawdust-free, while the single-beam laser directs cuts with enhanced accuracy.
The 51-degree bevel, with a positive stop at 45 degrees, allows for a range of cut options, while the spindle lock and on-tool wrench make blade replacements easier.

Skil refuses to send me this $0.68 part after a 20-minute phone call filled with questions, images, and other information, claiming it is not a defect.
Normal use by a 5′ 8″ 150# person appears to be too much for this toy of a tool.
Skil will never be purchased again.
