Circular Saw, TACKLIFE 4700RPM 1800W Upgraded Compact Circular Saw, Cutting 67mm (90º), 47mm (45º), Double Safety Switch, with 24T 190MM Circular Saw Blade / ECS01A

This is a decent bit of kit for the price.Pros:Powerful at 1800w.Heavy and robust.Inexpensive.Easy to use with ergonomic grips.Good blade supplied.0 - 45 degree adjustable.Depth stop adjustable.Cons:Base plate wobbles a touch.0 - 45 degree guide is inaccurate.Suoplied saw would not hit 0 degree, so guide needed filing to suit.Line follow guide is not in line with blade.Verdict:Really powerful saw with a decent enough blade, meaning that it rips through sleepers at full depth with ease. It also had a good amount of adjustability to allow different depths and angles to be cut.However it's let down a bit by the base which is a bit wobbly and inaccurate. The solution to this is to set the blade angle using an engineers square, and ignore the guide marks!

I tried to do the same cut with hand saw and it is very hard to get a straight angle cut. With this saw it was not a problem whatsoever. Just used square and couple of clamps and the cut is perfect.

I spent a lot of time searching for a circular saw. I wanted something that had good reviews for as little money as possible (don't we all :) as I am only likely to use this once or twice a year (if that).I saw a few in this price range and there was very little to choose from between them, so I went with this one that had slightly better reviews overall.Like some of the reviews, I also found this a bit heavy, but I have nothing to judge against as I have never used one before. However the weight means that you don't need to apply as much force when cutting so I am fine with it.The instructions to set it up could be a lot better. I put the blade on flush to the unit but it actually needs to sit between the two magnetised 'washers'. Luckily I spun the blade manually to check it before I plugged it in as I was sceptical. Also, for people new to this tool, like me, the blade needs to spin counter clockwise.I bought this to make a wooden frame for a mesh soil screen/sieve, and to make a child's sand pit out of old create/pallette. Overall I am quite pleased with the tool and think it is pretty good value for money.

Works ok. A bit of vibration due to difficulty in positioning the blade correctly, otherwise no problems.It would be handy to know where I can get a dust bag that fits.

Needed to remove a 17mm wide strip from a 70 mm thick hardwood gate, the cut needed to be clean and accurate in order to maintain the appearance of the gate. The saw was easy to control and cut a perfectly straight line with no splintering ( I did use a straight board clamped to the gate for accuracy.

Disapointed as there was no tools included and the instructions are very poor. I returned this item.

Sadly, we had a problem with the Tacklife Circular Saw. But not for long! Absolutely brilliant service via Amazon to the suppliers. A replacement was sent out immediately with no questions asked and an apology. BRILLIANT. Thank you.

Good machine, but no spanner to put on or take off blades.
