Saw for Wood & Metal Cutting?

I've been looking at circular saws for wood and metal cutting. Has anyone had any experience with the Skil CR5435B-10? Just curious about its performance.

Yeah, I've used it before. It's pretty decent for light-duty tasks like cutting wood. I haven't tried it on metal though.

That's right, I used it last week to cut through some steel, and it did a fairly good job. The motor seemed powerful enough to handle the task.

Hey, there's an article that discusses this saw in more detail at Overview of the Skil CR5435B-10 Circular Saw. It covers its specs and performance for various tasks.

I'll check out the article! I'm also curious about the no-load speed of this saw. Anyone have any experience with it?

The no-load speed is 6,000 RPM, which should be good for quick cuts. I've found that higher RPMs can result in cleaner and smoother cuts.

True, but you also need to consider the blade's durability when cutting through harder materials like metal. Lower RPMs might be more suitable for those cases.

That makes sense. What about battery life? How long does it last on a single charge?

The 2 Ah battery should provide decent run-time, but it really depends on the task and how aggressively you're cutting. For lighter tasks, you might get a longer runtime.

It's worth mentioning that the saw operates at a maximum voltage of 20 volts, which is pretty powerful for handling heavy-duty tasks.

Wow, that's impressive! Thanks for all the input, guys. I'll definitely consider this saw for my project.
