Skil 5280-01 Features?

I'm interested in getting a Skil 5280-01 circular saw. Can anyone share their thoughts on its features?

Sure thing! The Skil 5280-01 has a no-load speed of 5,300 RPM and a brushed motor with 15 amps power rating. It's corded with a 6 ft. cord length, and the blade size is 7-1/4 inches.

Interesting, I've used one before and it worked great! There's an article that provides an overview of the Skil 5280-01 at Overview of the Skil 5280-01 Circular Saw. You can find more details about its features there. The saw also has a spindle lock for easy blade changes, which is pretty handy.

That's really useful to know, thanks @kemonymous! I'm curious if anyone else has used this particular model or something similar?

I've been using the Skil 5280-01 for some time now and it's worked well for me. The power rating is perfect for cutting through harder materials like hardwoods.

I recently bought a Skil 5280-01 and I'm quite happy with its performance so far. It handles various cutting tasks with ease, and the cord length is convenient for working in larger spaces.

Great to hear from another user, @Moose1956! Are you able to share any specific examples of projects where the Skil 5280-01 excelled?

Yeah, I had a great experience using it to cut through some thick wooden beams for a home renovation project. The 7-1/4 inch blade size really came in handy for that.

That's awesome! I also used mine for cutting plywood and it did an excellent job. The spindle lock was definitely useful when changing blades too.

I've had some experience with cutting metal as well, and the Skil 5280-01 handled that without any issues. It's a versatile saw for sure!

Thanks for sharing your experiences, everyone! Based on this feedback, it seems like the Skil 5280-01 is a solid choice. I'll definitely check out the Overview of the Skil 5280-01 Circular Saw article and consider getting one.
