Customer Reviews:

For what it is - it rules [Posted on 2003-05-28]
So Im a tool junkie home user. Im not a contractor or cabinet maker.

This will NOT replace a decent 7.25" circular saw for cross cutting 2x4 etc.

What this WILL do is cut trim and plywood with ease and no tearouts. Its super light so running it all day wont beat up yer arm. Cuts far better than a jig saw for straight lines.

Nice saw that doesn't work [Posted on 2004-05-03]
I purchased the trim saw last Sept, 03 from Amazon.com. I used it several times and was pleased with it's performance.

Tried to use it again today (May 2, 04) and it would not run. (May be a switch problem) This saw has been in production for a long time and the manufacturing problems should have been solved by now.

If I was to buy a trim saw again, I would buy a small battery operated saw (the 18 volt Dewalt is nice). I used my sons dewalt and was impressed that the distance from the blade to the edge of the base plate was a standard 1 inch on one side and 4 inches on the other so it was easy to clamp a staight edge to the line of cut. It had plenty of power and could cut thru thicker stock than the Porter-Cable saw.
