WORX Electric Compact Circular Saw, 3 Amp 3-3/8-Inch, WX420L

Worked great to plunge the saw onto my living room floor - needed to cut out just a small section without disturbing the rest and this did the job. Recommend it!

Smooth h cutting and the plunge option really makes the cutting much nicer then tilting your saw up then bringing it down to cut boards in the middle.

This is a nice little cutter for thin materials. This is a plunge cutter that has a trigger safety that takes some getting used to. It can be awkward to try and manipulate the safety switch while lining up the saw for the start of a cut. The other annoyance is the offset of the blade on my unit is 1 3/16 from the narrowest base edge. I know it’s a minor complaint but it would have been nice for the manufacturer to use an common measurement like most other saws. The chiseled guide in the base is off by 1/8 of an inch, so free cutting is out of the question if you need an accurate cut and the dust collection elbow is so close to the housing it is almost unusable. Since I am only really using this saw to cut textures these issues are not cause to return this item.

Love this little saw! It's awesome

Compact size and ease of use

I needed to build a couple more woodsheds, and last time, I only had a chop saw, so I had to cut all the weatherproof siding with a hand saw. Things went much better this time. This little saw could be brought out with an extension cord to where I was building, and I didn't have to try and heave the siding up and balance it on a table saw, I could just cut at ground level, stacked on some other siding. The power is sufficient, but I did have to slow down a bit. The V in the guide was plenty good for following pencil lines, and the depth setting was super helpful. The laser guide was useless. It's red, so not nearly as bright as the green ones. Couldn't see it at all in the sun or nearby shade. The laser line is battery powered, despite being attached on top of a tool that needs to be plugged in to use, so I left it on, couldn't tell, and apparently there's no auto shutoff, because it drained the batteries first time I turned it on. Make it green and wire it in! The blade depth is a bit stiff. I had to remind myself to push down harder to make sure the blade was fully extended. Overall, I'm glad to have it and it worked well.

If you're looking for something to chop up big sheets of plywood, I recommend an actual circular sar. This really isn't for that. Where this excels is working with smaller, detailed projects. Hobbyists? Build custom picture frames? Work with lots of small bits and pieces? You'll use this a lot. There's also a lot of versatility with the included blades for wood, ceramic, and sheet metal. I never had any reason or opportunity yet to use this for ceramic or sheet metal, but like my advice for wood, it's ideal for smaller projects, not great big ones. One thing that cost it a star was the laser. While it's a good laser, bright and visible, it's not perfectly in line with the blade (at least, not the way I used it anyway) and what's up with it being run off button cell batteries (LR44's, specifically)? REALLY? Now not only do I have to feed my digital torque wrenches LR44 batteries, I have to feed the laser in this thing as well? HUGE not a fan of the LR44's running the laser. Clearly, I'm in the wrong business because I could design a rectifier to take power off the cord before the power switch that would run the laser for INFINITY. Literally, 4 SMT diodes (you could get away with 2, but how much is an SMT diode nowadays? 3 cents?) and a length of wire. Have your engineers never heard of rectifiers? Half wave? Full wave? Converting AC to DC, as diodes only permit current flow in 1 direction? Sorry to rant but...powering the laser off LR44's is a personal thing for me. I both love and HATE my digital torque wrenches...love them because they make setting torque easy, hate them because they always need LR44 batteries. So this saw is kind of a love-hate thing for me as well. On one hand, it deserves strong marks for being a compact, easy to handle "small job" saw. On the other hand, I can't stop cursing at the LR44 batteries. Why? No, why? So let's just say, forget the laser, is the saw itself worth it? Yeah, I can't imagine the hobbyist or occasional woodworker not using this at least occasionally in the shop It might even be good for semi-pro vinyl siding installation. Just...if you buy this, remember that Amazon has GREAT deals on LR44 batteries. I recommend extras.

Burns through blades. Dont expect great work. Very very disappointed in the mechanics. It works well for like half the project then quits like a 18 year old

This saw is amazing for plunge cuts to a set depth in retrofit situations. Love it!

My buddy has this exact same saw and it's a beauty. So, I ordered one and got it with one of the guide screws defective. Retainer clip and bearings fell out when opening the package. Amazon contacted and is arranging a replacement. Returned to them with prepaid shipping label. Can't wait until the replacement gets here and I can get cutting stuff!!

I like it.
