Background

The Skil 5450 Circular Saw is a handheld power tool used for cutting wood. It is produced by Skil, a company that initially started as the Michel Electric Handsaw Company in 1924. The tool features a 7-1/4 inch blade made from high speed steel with 24 teeth and an arbor size of 5/8 inches, allowing a maximum cutting depth of 2-3/8 inches. The saw operates with a no-load speed of 5,300 RPM, powered by a 13 amp motor that delivers 2.3 horsepower. The tool is electric, requiring a 120V power source.

The circular saw is equipped with several features to enhance its functionality. It possesses a bevel capacity of up to 45° with positive stops at 22.5° and 45°, facilitating the making of angled cuts. The tool-free depth adjustment feature allows for quick setting of cutting depth from 0 to 2-3/8 inches. A spindle lock for easy blade changes, on-tool wrench storage for convenience, and a left-side blade for better cut-line visibility are also included. The design incorporates an anti-snag lower guard to reduce snags when making narrow cut-offs and a rubberized handle for improved handling.
