I’ve been kicking this can down the road for years, but I finally got a job that involves cutting so much melamine board there’s no way I’m doing it with a circular saw.
I watched multiple safety videos before even opening the package, and now I’m just sitting here staring at it wondering whether I should fire it up and cut off a finger or two. I’m fucking terrified of this thing.


i have a hitachi one. typically keep it folded out of the way since i dont use it that much. it is hella loud when its running though. being made for outside contractor work, the motors on them are as basic as they come. still works well for what it is
