talespin Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 (edited) Hi Everyone, I am looking to buy a circular saw that can 1. cut wood as well as metal 2. Is compact(5-6 1/2). As compact as possible. 3. Minimum 2 inch cut depth. 4. Can do cold cuts. 5. Not Chinese Brand. i checked few versatile circular saw, but they are all big, if you are familiar, could you please recommend any model that is compact and meets above conditions. I checked Makita, Bosch 5 7/8 metal saws and liked them but they can't do miter if used for wood which i believe can be worked around? , but not sure how saw will perform if used with wood cutting blades.

Jronman Posted September 26, 2018 Report Share Posted September 26, 2018 Makita sub compact circular saw might work 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aessu Posted September 27, 2018 Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Youll be looking at 6 ½ saw if you want a minimum of 2inch depth cut, cant do that with a 5inch. Edit: or a 136mm blade at minimum, whatever that is in inches, over 5inch anyways, closer to like 5½ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talespin Posted September 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2018 Thankyou everyone. Also Is there any corded metal cutting saw that can do cold/clean metal cuts, 6 1/2 is fine. All the models i have checked are battery operated, didn't find any corded metal cutting saw that can do cold cuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff91 Posted April 29, 2019 Report Share Posted April 29, 2019 Hi dude, you can try Makita SH02R1 12V Max CXT for its versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
