Overview
Skil sells the 5280-01 as a circular saw with a laser guide that projects a line to follow along the cut. A carbide blade, a wrench and a carry bag come with the saw, and the body is a blend of materials.
The laser line helps keep cuts straight along a mark, and the bag makes the saw easy to carry between jobs. The limitation is that bevel range, cutting depth and warranty are not listed.
Who it's for
Plywood panels, deck boards and framing lumber around the house are the typical cuts. Buyers who cut metal or masonry, or want a battery saw, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Laser guide for cut lines
- Blade and wrench included
- Carry bag included
- Wood and engineered wood suitable
- Cutting depth not listed
- Bevel range missing
- Warranty not given
- Laser needs a clear view
Performance notes
The laser projects a line from the blade path onto the work, so straight cuts depend on following it and keeping the saw base flat. Blade tooth count affects finish, and a low tooth count cuts quickly but leaves a rougher edge.
