Hey guys, a have some doubts, a friend are selling a used Dewalt DE367 circular saw and a new Skilsaw 5380 circular saw, what is a better purchase, a Dewalt or Skil? I use to making forniture and others things.
Ooooompf! I don’t think the Skilsaw is new dude! There’s rust all over the shoe and the blade guard attachment. If they were new I’d go with the Dewalt, it has more power and cutting speed. Skilsaw just came out with a pro grade magnesium saw which is supposedly one of the best saws out now but this looks like an older cheap saw so based on the pics and the fact that the Skilsaw clearly looks used too, I’d get the Deealt, change out the blade and brushes and make sure the shoe is square.
Like Chris K mentioned that Skill Saw is one of their lower end diy type saws.
yup go Dewalt and throw a Diablo blade on.
bite the bullet and just buy new…….unless these saws are being sold at next to nothing for cost a circular saw is not an expensive tool
Go Dewalt.. No doubt ..!
Great, thanks for all!!! I already buy DEWALT saw, i’ll post pictures when arrives, thanks again
like they said buy a Diablo blade to put on it and you will be all set!
I’m thinking to purchase this blade (Dewalt DW3176) http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-7-1-4-in-36T-Thin-Kerf-Saw-Blade-DW3176/202579840because on Brazil don’t exist Diablo blades for sale 🙁
Arrives!!!!
Excelent saw, i recommend!
The cost is about 65 usd. A new cost about 150 usd here in Brazil and this is almost new, very happy with Dewalt
congrats!
