SKILSAW 7 in. 15 Amp Corded Medusaw Aluminum Worm Drive Circular Saw for Concrete

Good saw but arbor is not standard size so check your blades

Had an enjoyable time using this saw. The setup was easy I use the vacuum attachment also used a white cap black marlin blade. Setting the plunge Gage was easy and with the spring he was very comfortable plunging into the pool deck that I was cutting with the rubber Wheels it was easy going from transition to transition on my cuts. The saw powered through everything that I put it through I plunge it two inches I did 18 inch One Way 18 in another way 18 in another way make it a full Square which with the Worm Drive made everything really easy. I will be recommending this song for everybody that’s in my line and construction work it’s very easy easy to setup easy to use and very effective I must say I’ve really had an enjoyable time using this saw and experienced was great thank you so much.

I have used this to channel out floor cracks. I have cut down 3/8″ along cracks to allow epoxy repairs. It ate right through the cement and rock. It was very responsive to shifting angles to follow the cracks. The one area it could not do was to cutout at the joint of wall to floor as the blade guard and front rollers limit how close to a vertical surface you can cut. The dust vacuum attached easily and did a good job of limiting dust spread.

“We got this saw to test out, for various tasks we do. First was removal of an 18″x24″ x 1/2″ deep section of a concrete slab for polishable overlay.We first cut out a perimeter to demo out inside of.Then, we kerf cut multiple times inside the perimeter, to chip out the concrete. The perimeter cut was left very smooth and clean. Then the kerf cuts. Our previous saw would have gotten too hot halfway through. We would have had to stop and let it cool down. The wormdrive Medusaw, had no such issue. It plowed through each cut without a problem. with a little prep with a chipping hammer, we were ready for the overlay.The plunge stop is a great feature to keep each cut the same depth.We dry cut using the dust extractor adapter, hooked up to a 235 CFM, Ermator S26.The vac worked well, keeping air borne dust to almost nothing. Although there was minimal dust left on the floor in front of the saw.The cut was easy to keep straight using the multiple reference points on the saw.The finished cut was super clean.Second Test was for a common repair we do, repairing damaged joints.We usually have to lug around a cumbersome gas powered saw, to make a parallel cut alongside a bad joint. Using the Medusaw was easier and faster. Using the included water feed assembly, we made sequential wet cuts, alongside the joint, as well as inside. The Medusaw worked great, getting to 2″ depth, 1/2” at a time. No binding or pinching.We removed the bad sections, and layed in our repair mortar (Fast set T45). After the repair mortar cured, we score cut the repair with the Medusaw, to honor the joint. Once again, no issues with the saw. With the 4 cut line references on the saw, keeping the cut on track was effortless. The saw breezed through the cut with ease, and the slurry water was left in a nice stripe which was easy to clean up. It also comes with a built in GFCI, which is a great bonus.The plunge spring seemed to not want to kick up the body of the saw entirely. This will probably get seasoned and broken in, in time. But a little caution is needed, and obviously, let the blade stop before raising the saw.We will add at least one, maybe more of these saws to our tool stock. They are versatile, and tough. Whether or not you grew up with a Skil Wormdrive in your hand as I did, this is a great tool. The sidewinder angle grinder saws we have, will probably sit on the shelf for a while to come.”

I got the Medusaw to cut the control joints in floors and small concrete pads, the saw comes with items and features that would have to be purchased and attached to saws for more cost. After using this for the first time I was very pleased with the results. The saw with the guides and wheels made it easy to useThe attachment for a vacuum can be connected with either a 1-7/8″ or 2-1/2″ vacuum hose that are a standard with all shop vacuums worked really good, the only dust I saw was by the blade being drawn up into the upper blade guard and into the vacuum.The water feed assembly is easy to attach and use. I have always cut with a dry saw and it is nice to have no dust. The water keeps the blade cool and cuts faster. The water valve is close to the saw to turn on and off also control the water flow easily with the valve the assembly has a quick connection that can be attached to any garden hose.Cutting lines was very easy with four different spots on the saw for guides the front guide folds down or can be folded up and held in place by the magnet that is part of the upper guard the rear line guide on the foot is another great reference point to keep lines straight and the foot with the solid wheels rolled smooth.The depth adjustment that can be set to a determined depth is unique and I liked that . After I set it were I wanted I made the plunge cuts at the start of the lines it locked in place cutting the line and at the end can be released with one hand easily and the plunge spring raises the saw up out of the cut until the saw stops.My overall experience is that this is a great tool for the price, it delivered a quality clean cut lines that in my opinion is as good as gets .

I have honestly been waiting for years for someone to make it saw that I can use for decorative and expansion joint cuts..I actually modified my old skill saw before I got this one….I own soffcut concrete saws and and Engrave a Crete saws…I felt like the saw is here and it was late for its time but since it finally got here I’m happy It did..first The cut is great very accurate but you must follow front and rear guides…do not be fooled by the blade…it will drop in correctly as long as both guides are lined up…be careful the front guide is a little bit fragile..usually Skil saw’s can be manhandled but there’s a couple parts on here that are fragile…vacuum hook up is nice fits up to almost any size hose without changeing the tip,The dust collection could be a little bit better I think they should have covered the Blade side of the saw a bit,to get more suction.i’m running Pearl abrasive Diamond blade and it cuts just like the old Skil saw bee powerful..The hose for the water feature is great… built very well and sturdy but again the tips are a little bit fragile so you must be careful using it…all in all the saw is a great tool I think it will be hard for the old school contractors to adapt to it…The best thing about the saw for me is that it can be used for accurate cuts and expansion joint cuts need to be straight and deep..

Definitely heavy duty. I use it to cut stone and find it does the job easily. It would be especially good for cutting asphalt and concrete if you needn’t go deeper than two inches.

Very good saw. It only cuts about 2.5 inches deep. Very good for doing inside work.

My crew is ecstatic about this saw. It is robust and feels like it will last forever. Some Key Points.1. Simple to setup and use.2. Water attachment is a cool design, it is sturdy and it shoots water on both sides of the blade.3. It is on the heavy side, but is comfortable to use and is stable during the cut.4. Blade installation is a breeze.5. Blade adjustment is accurate and easy to change.6. Cleanup is easy!We like it a lot!

I’ve known about this tool for a while and when it launched I knew it was going to be a winner. I also knew it was out of my budget. When I purchased my worm drive table saw I immediately registered it for warranty purposes than also checked a box. That box was if I wanted to hear about new tools and promotions. So when it was contacted about being eligible to be a tool tester for this saw I filled out the entry form and won. I not giving a biased review because of this being a promotional give away cause I don’t want fellow Contractors to buy a product that I wouldn’t use myself. Guys go out and buy this saw! It’s amazingly smooth with all of its features it’s worth every penny. I just wish there was a case so it was safer to transport.
