Used this to get a good, clean cut on a butcher block countertop. Everything went fine until the saw just stopped progressing. It still ran, but it felt like something was snagging preventing it from moving farther. Couldn't figure out why.Used it for a few other projects and the same thing happened. FINALLY I figured it out. It comes with a 24t blade, which is rather coarse, but still makes a nice clean cut when it's working. What was happening is that too fast a cut with such a coarse blade puts a bigger load on the saw. The drive shaft on the saw has two flats to locate and drive the retention washer, BUT NOT THE BLADE. And the blade retention screw was only snug. So when the going got tough, the blade stopped but the drive shaft didn't. I tightened the blade screw (left hand thread) and it worked fine.It's not for heavy-duty work, but now it's my go-to circular aw even for heavier tasks because it's easier and more maneuverable to use. It just takes a lighter touch.All the accessories work well, with the exception that the vacuum attachment could work better.

Ya llevó varios meses con esta pequeña sierra, algo baja de calidad en el acabado y los metales utilizados, no así en la potencia y precisión. Tiene un motor que realmente alcanza los 5 amperes a pleno trabajo y potencia, y esto se traduce en facilidad de corte. Es más potente de lo que se puede creer. No sé otras personas, pero en lo particular, mi sierra es precisa y el corte de la sierra es coherente con la guía láser. Es una excelente sierra para el trabajo para el cuál fué diseñada, cumple correctamente con su cometido.

I purchased this saw for one particular job…. To cut off the bullnose on 20 original stair treads at my home (so that I could install hardwood re-treads). After cutting off the first two with a 7-1/4” circular saw and finishing the cuts on either end with an oscillating saw, I wanted something smaller that left a smaller amount to cut off with the oscillating saw. For the price, this saw got the job done and it was easier and more accurate than the larger circular saw. The saw had enough power to get through the 1” pine treads but struggled a couple of times. The laser helped to make for more accurate cuts on the individual stair treads. The saw could only get to within 2-1/2” or so of the end of the stair tread and I still needed to use an oscillating saw to cut the rest off. I knew I would still need to use the oscillatory saw but was hoping to get a little closer to the edge with this smaller saw. The rail that came with the saw seemed a bit flimsy and I chose not to use it to help make for straight lines (feared it might come loose and the cut line would drift). Additionally, I had to start in the middle of the tread and cut one way, and then flip the saw around and cut the other way. I would have rated this saw 4 stars on its performance alone, but when I consider the price, it warranted 5 stars. I would recommend this to others for small jobs, particularly in tight places.

This is the fourth WEN power tool I have bought and I'm impressed with the quality and price of each one. I have used this saw on just some small projects and it is much easier to use than my full size circular saw. It's qwick and efficient and has plenty of power. The case is a nice addition to the package and even has storage for extra blades. I only wish I would have bought it sooner!

I’ve had this saw for a couple of years now. I originally gave it 3 stars, but after using it more I realized that it’s really quite good for some applications. There is a bit of a learning curve on getting used to how to use it.I have come to use this tool for doing a lot of basic cuts in 2x lumber. I use it a lot when repairing decks. It cuts well once you get the hang of it. I recommend using a speed square as a cutting guide to keep your cuts straight. The thing I like most about it is that it is compact and can get into places a full sized circular saw cannot. It’s also very lightweight so it doesn’t wear you out. To be clear, if you are framing up something from scratch and cutting 2x4,6,8,10s etc on a saw horse, I’d use a good quality circular saw.But if you’re doing some kind of repair to an existing structure, perhaps on a ladder or in a tight area then this may be what you need. For deck boards or 2x lumber it cuts great. At first it will seem awkward because you are holding like you would a flashlight. It just takes some getting used to.

I bought this saw and was a bit skeptical until I took it out of the box and used it. To the people who commented about how heavy it is, obviously they never used a circular saw before cause not only is this light, but it's so easy to maneuver with one hand, and it's very powerful. I cut 20- 3/4" sheets of plywood and countless 2×4's effortlessly and the blade is still far from dull. I love that there's a case for it too. Very handy and and all around great saw. Let's just put it this way... I never used my cordless Milwaukee M18 circular saw again since I bought this. Thank you Amazon!!

Es ligera comparada con la tradicional de la marca mencionada. (2.5 vs 3.5kg aprox) La elegí por eso y porque tiene reducción en el mango, lo que si la hace bastante mas maniobrable. El laser a mi me funciona de maravilla porque además de usar una regla, me ayuda. Es una cuestión ya de cada quien. el tubo de polvo un poco de plástico de regular calidad y la guía también pero es cosa de saber usar el equipo con cuidado y funciona muy bien. El estuche esta genial. Trae espacio adicional para uno o dos discos. Las palancas de presión para fijar altura e inclinación están mas cómodas que las de tipo cruz peeero se sienten un poco frágiles. Tiene un botón de seguridad que hay que presionar junto con el gatillo lo cual se me hizo genial porque con sierras de 10" me ha pasado que sin querer aprieta un el gatillo al ponerlas en una superficie o por cualquier cosa. Hice un corte de prueba rápidamente, sin presionar la pieza, solo con la mano y corta muy bien aunque es de 3500 rpm y la tper es de 5000 rpm. La utilizare para elaborar unas ventanas de madera por lo que es más que suficiente. Yo le agregaria una rosca para colocar un mango de soporte. Recomendado el equipo. (la entrega fue de un dia para otro, increible).

I am a woodworker of 40+ years and have used many power hand tools. WEN makes a quality product that performs as advertised. I purchased the compact circular saw for versatility and convenience, especially with 4x8 sheets of wood and long boards. Much easier using this portable saw, than trying to cut large pieces on a table or chop saw. The saw cuts through 2x4(s) with ease and accurately. If you use the unit as instructed, then you should get good results. I did a lot of research before purchasing, and felt that this unit was the best value.It comes with a nice, sturdy carrying case, vacuum hose attachment, cutting guide, allen wrench and carbide tipped 24 tooth blade. I am very pleased with the choice I made and I believe you will be too.

Visual inspection revealed overall fit & assembly fine. Locking knobs are robust and lock firmly. Blade changing was basic and had no issues. Blade guard works smoothly when starting your cut. Now the reasons for four stars. During inspection it was quite noticeable this saw was not going to cut a 90 degree cut due to the depth level gauge was bent at the base plate pivot point. This was a easy repair and is now cutting a clean 90 degrees. If you are into gadgets (for myself this was not why a purchased this saw) the laser did start at the cutting guide on the base plate then veers off. The owners manual does not list any form of adjustments and I do not see any. From my experience shimming the laser assembly would be in order. Actual cut line did match cutting guide on base plate. I spent much time researching for a small circular saw to add to my shop and overall the saw does perform well. It runs very smooth and he gives me that extra cutting versatility. The saw will be used occasionally which was my game plan. Coming from the machine tool repair field, I would rate this saw light commercial obviously not for industrial use. For my last comment. Due to the size and location of the dust port, keep your dust mask out.
