Background

The Skil Circular Saw 5587 is a corded electric tool designed for cutting various materials. The saw is powered by a 15 amp motor and uses a 7-1/4 inch blade made from high speed steel. The blade arbor size is 5/8 inches, and the saw has the capability to make bevel cuts up to 50 degrees. The included blade is designed with 24 teeth, which aids in making fast, smooth cuts.

The dimensions of the saw are 7.5 x 16.5 x 10.5 inches, and it weighs 9.06 pounds. The design includes an ergonomic D-handle with a soft grip for comfort during use. It also features a spindle lock that allows for quick blade changes without the need for additional tools. The motor generates enough power to cut through dense materials such as lumber and plywood. An electric brake is included to stop the blade promptly after the trigger is released, and there is an on-tool wrench storage for convenient access during use.
