Bought this saw to cut a large floor tile to fit around a wall and to have an opening for a heat register instead of cut the tile in at least 2 pieces. The included diamond blade cut the like quickly an easily. The tile fit just as intended. The saw is easy to use and the built in laser really helped.

I bought this as a nice way to avoid larger saws. The blade is very small and to get a good cut rate, the RPM is high - this means heat! I cut 1/4 inch plexiglass and got exactly 23 inches before the blade they supplied burned up. Buy a carbide blade. To get the blade to extend and cut, you must exert significant down pressure with forward motion much like a plunge cut. The blade is hidden in the housing until the "plunge" then you must use the footplate for cut guidance (can't see the blade) making the last 2-3 inches of a thru-cut pretty much blind. For an accurate cut with a harder material, this didn't work for me, I use my table saw. The saw is well made and for light work in soft wood, with practice, this is a nice tool. It is designed for safety and you would have to be something of a "Clutz" to hurt yourself.Read full review

My original mistake was ordering the 3440 instead of the 3441which, is really what I wanted. (4 1/2" blade rather than the 3"). The saw is very awkward to use with the position of the incorporated handle and trigger that does fit well in my hand while trying to push the saw platform down while sawing. Very unorthodox. My small Skil saw is much easier to use that the 3440. Also, I did not receive any batteries with the kit to power the laser. (3 buttons required). I would return the saw if I could because it will get minimum use since it is so awkward and heavier than I thought it was going to be. Very disappointed in the saw.

This is a quality product that is easy to use. Great for quick cuts when you don't want to use a table saw or dig out your heavy circular saw. Light weight. fun to use.

This is a useful tool as it pertains to lighter jobs. Some full-sized circulars won’t cut precisely straight lines and they’re typically heavier and more durable. That said, it took me some practice to get this to cut straight. You have to view where the blade actually hits your material before starting your cut, then take note of where your guides are at that point. Once you’ve done that a few times, you can become pretty consistent with your cuts and get what you’d expect. Otherwise, the saw seemed to cut a bit to the left of the line when I just trusted the guide. The laser seemed slightly off, which becomes a problem for longer cuts. I turned it off because I couldn’t see drawn lines with it on. with adequate power, longer cuts through thicker materials meant I was more likely to burn the blade. Carefully backing out or lifting out of the cut and resuming did help, but the lighter, smaller blades made long cuts more difficult than I’d have liked... Overall, a good tool for lighter work and short straight cuts.Read full review
