WEN 4.2 Amp 3-3/8 in. Plunge Cut Compact Circular Saw with Laser, Carrying Case, and 3-Blades

Good tool

very large saw! , not very compact and not user friendly with the safety controls, for it to be used in tight spaces is impossible, a 6″ skill saw might do a better job, I think that a smaller saw is available I personally wouldn’t have bought it if I new it was so large and awkward to use !

The WEN Mini Circular Saw is a powerful saw. It is perfect for cutting wood flooring, drywall, tile, sheet metal, pipes, carpet and more. Its compact design weighs only 4.5 lbs. and makes for easy storage. It’s my go to tool for small jobs. Due to its compact size I’m able to get into tight spaces where my larger wood cutting tools cannot. I recently used it to cut holes in sheetrock to install electrical boxes. Using the dust extraction tube I was able to keep the dust level to a minimum. The 4.2 Amp motor provides maximum torque, spinning the 3-3/8 in. blade up to 4500 RPM. It can cut boards up to 1 in. in thickness. The easy-to-use trigger features a slot for your finger, allowing the saw to automatically engage as you push forward which is a great safety feature. Release the switch and the blade is retracted preventing it from cutting anything. Adjust the depth stop to your desired cutting depth for the perfect plunge cut in even the hardest of woods. The saw comes packed with accessories, including an HSS metal-cutting blade, a diamond-coated tile-cutting blade, a carbide-tipped wood cutting blade, a 4.75 in. rip fence, an 80 in. dust extraction tube and a convenient carrying case. There is also is a laser located on top of the saw to indicate the line of your cut.

nice little saw. I needed to cut around a post without cutting the post itself and this worked fine for the job. I will use it for a long time. It seems to be good quality.

It was a little larger than expected, but someone had made a similar comment. The smaller bottom plate (that I am sure all compact saw have) made it a bit more difficult to guide. I used it to cut PVC decking and I really had to hang on to it as it would easily rotate (slide).

Very easy to use. The kickback was stronger than what i expected. So be careful. Nice easy clean cuts!

The WEN 4.2 Amp Mini Circular Saw is the perfect tool for all my small projects around the house. The saw is compact, lightweight and make cuts quickly and easily. It comes with a soft metal cutting blade, a diamond-coated tile-cutting blade, a carbide-tipped wood cutting blade, a 4.75 in. rip fence and a 80 in. dust extraction tube that will attach to my small shop vac. My first project was cutting a metal frame for my pump house window screen. I was able to make precise cuts easily for a perfect fit. This saw for sure met my expectations.

A little ackward. Making sure the cords out of the way, the inconvience of the safety button and the pressure tilt pressure needed to get the saw started could be challenging. No clear instruction. Despite the time spent figuring it out, my project did get complete.

Still getting use to it.

Best saw I’ve ever used, small medium or even large. Works great. Couldn’t do my project without it. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that the switch for the blade adjustment is plastic, so I’m sure it won’t last long. Overall amazing little tool.
