Max Cutting Capacity of Craftsman CMCS500B?

I've been looking for a good circular saw and came across the Craftsman CMCS500B. Has anyone used it before?

Hey, yes! I've been using it for some DIY projects around my house and it's worked pretty well. The max cutting capacity is quite impressive.

That's great to hear! Can you tell us more about its maximum cutting capacity? And how does the bevel angle range work?

Sure thing, @makeitwitu. The Craftsman CMCS500B has a 90-degree depth of 2-1/8 inches and a bevel angle range of 0-50 degrees. It's quite versatile!

Thanks for the info! I came across an article about this saw that might be helpful, check it out Overview of the Craftsman CMCS500B Circular Saw. It provides a more detailed overview.

That sounds interesting, @showtheway! I'll definitely give it a read. The specs you mentioned seem pretty impressive though.

Yeah, the 90-degree depth of 2-1/8 inches is really nice for getting through thick materials quickly. And the 0-50 degree bevel angle range makes it super versatile.

Definitely! It's been a reliable tool for me so far. I'm thinking about picking up the brushless version next time though, just for the added efficiency and durability.

That's a good point, @IconistSF. The brushless motor is definitely more efficient in the long run. I might consider it too!

Thanks everyone for your insights! I'll think about whether to go with this saw or look for other options based on these experiences and recommendations.

Good luck, @goldyubt25! Let us know what you decide and how it works out for you.
