Is the SKIL 5180 good for cutting 2x4s?

Yes. The 14-amp motor and 7-1/4 in. blade are sized for 2x4s and plywood, which is what the saw is built for.

What bevel angles can it cut?

It bevels up to 51 degrees and has a positive stop at 45 degrees for common miter cuts.

Does it come with a blade?

It weighs 7.2 lbs, lighter than the model it replaces.

Can I change the blade easily?

Our take on the SKIL 14A 7-1/4 In. Corded Circular Saw

The SKIL 5180 is a corded 7-1/4 in. circular saw with a 14-amp motor, aimed at weekend DIYers and light framing work. It cuts 2x4s and plywood, bevels up to 51 degrees with a positive stop at 45, and has an integrated dust blower to keep the cut line clear. At 7.2 lbs it is lighter than the model it replaces, and a spindle lock plus on-tool wrench make blade changes easier. It ships with a 24-tooth carbide blade. Against pricier worm-drive and pro-grade saws it gives up some power and refinement, but it covers the basics for home projects.
