WORX WX427L 6A 4-1/2" Compact Circular Saw, Hand-Held Corded Electric Circular Saw w/Laser Cutting Guide, 6 Saw Blades, Ideal for Wood, Plastic & Metal Cutting

Was easy to use & didn't hurt my arthritic hands❣️❣️❣️

Cuts through 2x4s without a problem!Comes with 6 blades, 2 each for three purposes of wood, thin sheet metal, and I think ceramic tile or something. The wood blade has only 24 teeth and the sheet metal blade has 60 teeth, so I actually used the sheet metal blade because the more teeth the better.I LOVED the laser. Then it didn't work after two days of working fine and one day of not working but then working again. Defective? Forgot to turn it off so the batteries died? Not sure. I have yet to replace the batteries to see if the batteries are the problem.The hex wrench used for changing the blade or tightening the fence fits in a handy holder at the base of the cord. Put it back every time and you'll never misplace it!I cut wall trim, 3/4" ply, and 2x4 for a loft. I had to change the blade during the process, but maybe because I was using the wrong blade. My kids also helped cut wood and the saw was as easy for them to use as for me, and I'm a petite woman.Cutting 45° angles is slow and in 2x4s is juuuust possible.I bought a Kreg sled for the saw, which fits onto a long "runway" track that is much more versatile than using the included fence which can only make a cut a few inches in from the edge and that I like better than temporarily screwing a board into my plywood to act as a fence. This makes nice, straight cuts through the plywood, and can be placed anywhere. This saw is too narrow for the Kreg sled, though. So I took the saw's included T-shaped fence, put it upside down so the lip wouldn't be in the way, and slid it in where the fence is designed to go only until the edge of the long portion (not the T top portion) lined up with the edge of the saw. This left the side with the lip hanging off the right side of the saw by a couple inches or so. I tightened it in place, then set the saw into the Kreg's sled. The Kreg has 2 adjustable tightening bolts to snugly clamp onto the saw, and directions suggest for stability to place them as far away from one another as possible. While the bolts are adjustable on the Kreg sled to a degree, they can only be swung in a small arc one way or the other as their position on the Kreg itself is fixed. I swung the left Kreg tightening bolt over the far left edge of the saw, tightening it over the saw's actual T fence. On the right side of the T fence, I put a little wingnut under the T fence since a gap existed between the T fence and the Kreg sled; using a wing nut, I have little "handles" to push it in and out, and needn't worry about it slipping out while using the saw. I then swung the right Kreg tightening bolt over the saw's T fence, right beside the wing nut. So, I basically turn the T fence upside down, clamp it into the saw, then clamp the saw onto the Kreg sled by tightening the Kreg bolts over the saw's T fence. This is very sturdy, never slips, and lets me use the sled along the track. The track has non-slip grips along the bottom, though it slides along saw dust so wipe them off as necessary and have a clean work surface! But it works great for perfectly straight lines. I bought only one, but suggest buying two since one set is for cutting across 4' length. Cutting across a longer length means just continuing the saw straight (it'll glide smoothly off the track at the end) or stopping then repositioning the track ahead. I did both. But with two sets of tracks there would be plenty of track to glide the sled along.

So far i like the saw. The annoying thing is there is no information on the laser. How to install the batteries ...nothing. The specs on Amazon indicate it takes 1 battery. Two are provided and two fit just fine, however the laser will not come on. I will try new batteries. Just got it today. Calling the helpline in the morning. We will see. Will follow up.Follow up: Worx customer service was easy to contact. No waiting.and very professional They did attempt to troubleshoot the laser issue but we’re not successful. Since I Purchased the saw from Amazon and the issue occurred the first day I was instructed to return it to Amazon for a replacement or refund. A preprinted label was provided and I sent her back. I was fully refunded by the next day and the new saw I order was delivered the following. Incredible job. Did I mention I love this saw?

Your reason for purchasing this saw will determine how highly you rate it. The saw itself works well and is well made and the design has much to recommend it, however has some drawbacks or limitations depending on your point of view. Firstly, the maximum depth of cut is barely more than 1". So be advised. Secondly, It is longer than I anticipated and is unable to get into restricted places because as you plunge the blade, the saw begins to approach horizontal and since it is 15" long in that position if you desire a cut of 3/4" or more you CANNOT do it. Thirdly, the baseplate prohibits you from cutting close to a wall or other obstruction. That can be a killer to completing the desired cut. I would not have been able to do the job I bought it for without it, but the limitations I mentioned made it much harder. In conclusion, knowing what I know now, I would look at other options to see if any would be better suited for my job. Only you know if it meets your needs.

The saw cuts well and all the adjustments are easy to use EXCEPT FOR THE TRIGER RELEASE. There is an awkward red release button which needs to be pushed in with your thumb while simultaneously pulling the trigger. Wow what a pain to do with your right hand but impossible with the left hand! I’m going to keep the saw and bypass the red button…. not a good practice but ,for my use, the only solution I can come up with.

I'm a 45 year old woman with small hands and shoulder issues. THIS SAW IS AMAZING! It is not heavy, easy to hold and maneuver, and has a decent battery life.This is ideal for small jobs; however, it can be used on some big jobs too. This was my primary saw during a bedroom/bathroom remodel. It was a BIG job. I replaced huge areas of flooring and walls. This saw is inside use friendly. It's not too loud and it doesn't shoot dust everywhere. So, I was able to make most of the cuts inside, which was greatly appreciated since the remodel took place in the last two months when it's been cold and rainy.The only thing I'd recommend to the WORX company is to manufacture a hard case to sell with the saw. I had to purchase that separately.Ladies, if you've been looking for a saw that won't hurt your shoulders and hands, this is it.

When I bought this, I thought I was buying a small saw that I could use in areas that I did not want to use my saber saw or bigger saw. When it was delivered, I found that it has to have the plate on the bottom. It is attached so that you cannot take it off. Also, if you don't hold a small hook on the back of the plate you cannot run the saw. I cannot do taht from my right hand and a couple of men tried too and could not do it right-handed. I cannot see what I am doing with a saw that can only be used left-handed. I am not trading it in as I have a solution for me, and I am using cuts of wood with clamps to be able to use this for what I intended to use it for

Excelente producto buen material

La he usado con solera de aluminio de 1/4. No he tenido ningún problema.
