Mini Circular Saws

[BloomingtonMike]

I own the corded Rockwell. I use it to cut holes in ply for outlets behind slatwall slats. Small dia blade makes minimal dia overcuts and straight down plunge works awesome. Those are the features i like best. Its nicer than my small dewalt and makita 18v circ saw.

Battery powered saws blow. I primarily use the 5-1/2" Skilsaw. Way handier than the worm-drive saws.

Get yer eyes fixed, squint real hard at the very last thing you can see on the butt end of that tool, it's an electric cord.

I've got the PC 314....it's a handy tool, great for breaking down 1/4" sheet goods. I really like it for cutting angles on vinyl siding.

Not an everyday user, but it's not going anywhere.

Excellent saw, would never sell mine, a shame they don't make them anymore.

PC 314 didn't ring a bell. I've seen plenty of them around, they are an actual mini circular saw, and probably could cut up ply and such pretty well.. That isn't what was originally pictured. The one pictured had one model with dual blades. They are more destruction, than construction. If he wants it for woodworking, he should look for that PC 314, or Rigid had a 6 1/2" circ saw called a Fuego

I've had a 314 for a lot of years and really didn't use it a whole lot because of the crappy Freud blade's wobbly flutter cut.  One day I splurged and got a Forrest Woodworker II (stock #  WW04H407080).  Game changer.  That 314 is now a finished cut machine when used with a couple of c-clamps and a straightedge.  That blade takes the 314 to a whole new level.

I wanted one of these very badly. I should have bought one years ago when they were cheaper and readily available. Oh well, maybe someday.

I have a 12v makita. Worthless
