- What can this saw cut?
- Plywood, paneling, trim and lumber up to about 1-3/4 inches deep at 90 degrees. It is not meant for framing lumber or repeated thick cuts.
- Does it come with a battery?
- Most versions are sold as tool-only with a blade. Check the listing for whether a battery and charger are included.
- How does it compare with an 18V circular saw?
- It is smaller and lighter but has less power and shallower cut depth. Choose it for trim and sheet goods, not for framing.
- Does it use the same batteries as other Skil 12V tools?
- Yes. It runs on Skil PWR CORE 12V batteries, so it shares packs with other tools in that line.
- Can it cut at an angle?
- Yes, the base bevels for angled cuts, though the small blade limits how deep those cuts go.
- Where is the Skil PWR CORE 12-Volt 5-1/2-in Brushless Cordless Circular Saw CR541801 cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $69.98, as of our latest check.
