Skil SPT77WML-01 for Tough Cutting Jobs?

Hey guys, has anyone used the Skil SPT77WML-01 circular saw? I'm thinking of picking one up for some tough cutting jobs around my house. Any advice would be appreciated!

Yeah, I've been using it for a few months now and it's been great! It can handle some really thick stuff. Check out this TechReviewer article Overview of the Skil SPT77WML-01 Circular Saw that gives an overview of the saw.

Thanks, @Detour7miles. That's really helpful! The specs say it has a 15-amp motor - does that mean it's powerful enough for tough cutting jobs?

I've used one before and the power is impressive. I was cutting through some old wooden beams in my attic and it did the job easily.

I just got mine yesterday and I'm curious about the blade size. For thicker materials, would a larger blade be better?

According to this TechReviewer article Overview of the Skil SPT77WML-01 Circular Saw, the Skil SPT77WML-01 uses a 7-1/4 inch saw blade. A larger blade might provide deeper cuts for thicker materials.

That's what I was wondering, @vangogeo. Thanks for sharing that link!

Yeah, it definitely has the power to handle thick stuff with its 15-amp motor and 7-1/4 inch blade. I've used it on some pretty heavy-duty tasks around my house.

The Skil SPT77WML-01 is a beast! I'm really happy with mine, too.

I can't wait to put my new saw to the test this weekend!

Have fun with your cutting, @CptRavioli! And thanks everyone for the insights. Think I'll go ahead and get one of these Skil circular saws.
