i was womdering if its a good saw?? im looking at what i caould buy my mom for christmas, she said a circular saw and i found this 1 and i was wondering if its good? also, what its cutting depth? i cant find it on the site....

Answer 1

It will cut about two inches deep and riobi are pretty decent tools for the money they work great they just don't last a long time so it depends on how much use it will get but for small projects it'll do

Answer 2

I have the same saw without the laser, and I'm very pleased with it, I have had it about three yrs and use it often, as I have built a garage, chicken coop, and a large deck. It cuts about 21/2 inches deep as most saws do, and it is relatively light weight easy to use.

Answer 3

I don't have this saw, but it looks like a decent circular saw that uses a standard 7 1/4 inch blade.  that would give it a maximum cutting depth of about 3", maybe a little more.
