In this video, Mark Donovan of
HomeAdditionPlus.com demonstrates Rockwell Tool's new Versacut Mini
Circular Saw, a
lightweight and powerful circular saw that is ideal for ripping all types
of sheet material.
Rockwell Tools recently
announced a new mini circular saw that includes a built-in laser guide.
Rockwell call’s it their Versacut saw, and for good reason. Because of its
small size and light weight, weighing in at only 4 lbs, it’s a great saw
for a variety of cutting tasks.
The Versacut saw is ideal for most applications that require a circular
saw. However it offers several neat advantages over the traditional
circular saw.

Its small compact size and balanced ergonomic design allows it to be operated
easily and longer than heavier and bulkier traditional circular saws. Its small
size also allows it to be used in smaller and harder to reach spaces and places.
How many times have I wished for this type of tool when ripping many sheets of
plywood?
Traditional circular saws with retractable guard blades require both hands to
operate. The Versacut mini circular saw, however, has a unique inner and outer
guard blade design that shields the blade and enables the saw to be operated
with only one hand. As a result, one hand can help hold the work piece while the
other operates the saw.
As the name implies the Versacut mini saw, with its 3-3/8” diameter blade and
1-1/16” adjustable blade cutting depth, can be used for cutting a variety of
materials. Simply install the proper blade and it will cut wood, ceramic tile,
flooring, sheet metal materials, and even slate. Changing blades is a snap.
Simply loosen the blade screw with the key provided and swap out the blade.
Its base plate design also enables a clear view of where the blade enters the
work piece, and with a laser guide mounted on top of it, accurate and precise
cuts are a breeze. In some cutting applications it can even eliminate the need
for having to pull out the miter saw if the work piece is properly marked. The
laser guide has a separate on and off switch.
The Versacut’s cutting power is derived from a 4 amp motor positioned towards
the back of the saw to make it perfectly balanced and easy to operate. The motor
operates at 3,500 RPM with no load. There is a blade height adjustment knob on
the Versacut that allows the blade depth to be easily adjusted in 1/8 inch
increments. A trigger with a lock-off safety switch resides underneath the
barrel handgrip. Also, integrated into the saw is a dust extraction port for
keeping the work area clear of dust.
Besides the Versacut mini circular saw itself, included with it are 3 different
saw blades, a rip guide, a carrying bag, a non-marring base cover, and a key for
swapping out blades. It’s also sold at a competitive price to traditional larger
circular saws and can be found at many home improvement centers or online
stores.
So if you’re in the market for a new circular saw, make sure to check out the
Versacut mini circular saw from Rockwell Tool’s. It lightweight one hand
operation, along with plenty of power, makes it the perfect cutting tool for
ripping sheet materials and operating in small or difficult spaces or locations.
It can be purchased online at
www.RockwellToolsDirect.com and other online stores, as well as at
various independent hardware and home improvement centers.
