Circular Saw

[MIXERMAN]

Need a new blade for my skill saw . screwfix.£31 . they've got a saw £49 cuts any material . 1200w . I'm gonna give it a go .

When they say any material, they mean things like marshmallows, cardboard, polystyrene and flesh. When I need a new blade for my skil saw, I just ask my Hilti rep and he gives me one.

A blade for any material will work as well as a plaster for any surface. i.e. it'll be average at best on most things and cr4p on a few others.

Evolution saw?

They're fine for for roughing and first fix.
Cheapish engineering means some can have have a tiny bit of blade wobble and cut a bit rougher.

That said, both mine are fine. Circular saw and chop saw.

Mine (from 2007 ish), I've found is bang on and accurate

But when on jobs, I've seen/used other newer ones they haven't been as good.

That’s what I use mine for mainly, although had to rip a couple of 8’ lengths of 8x2 down yesterday, which it did no problem. You’ll find after a while of cutting the insulated boards, the blade guard will get a bit clogged with dust. Needs blowing out with an airline and some silicone spray.

The new screw gun came out last week. 30% lighter and brushless motor. Gotta be done.
