Hi Everyone,
I am looking to buy a circular saw that can
1. cut wood as well as metal
2. Is compact(5-6 1/2). As compact as possible.
3. Minimum 2 inch cut depth.
4. Can do cold cuts.
5. Not Chinese Brand.
i checked few versatile circular saw, but they are all big, if you are familiar, could you please recommend any model that is compact and meets above conditions.
I checked Makita, Bosch 5 7/8 metal saws and liked them but they can’t do miter if used for wood which i believe can be worked around? , but not sure how saw will perform if used with wood cutting blades.
Makita sub compact circular saw might work
Youll be looking at 6 ½ saw if you want a minimum of 2inch depth cut, cant do that with a 5inch.
Edit: or a 136mm blade at minimum, whatever that is in inches, over 5inch anyways, closer to like 5½
Thankyou everyone. Also Is there any corded metal cutting saw that can do cold/clean metal cuts, 6 1/2 is fine. All the models i have checked are battery operated, didn’t find any corded metal cutting saw that can do cold cuts.
Hi dude,
you can try Makita SH02R1 12V Max CXT for its versatility.
