The 4.5-inch blade has half the kerf of a 7.5-inch blade, so the motor can spin the blade up to 3,000 RPM without added strain. The depth of cut is perfect for 2-inch wood, though it does have 0 to 45-degree bevel adjustment.

The standard blade that comes with a circular saw is made for cutting wood, so it&#8217;s important for your safety that you don&#8217;t use one to cut metal. However, switched out with a metal-cutting diamond blade, a circular saw will go through rebar like plywood.<\/p>\n<p>The same is true with concrete. Use a corundum or diamond blade to saw a channel through the concrete and then break off the piece with a sledgehammer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are corded circular saws more powerful than cordless?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the most part, yes, as corded saws can draw a consistent current from the outlet. That said, a fully-charged circular saw is still about as powerful as a corded model, and with batteries now capable of holding a charge for 8 hours, a cordless circular saw can last a full workday as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skil 13-Amp 7.25&#8243; Circular Saw Leave it to Skil, the company that practically invented the most popular circular saw over 90 years ago, to keep improving on this classic power tool.
