WORXWX429 400W 120mm WORXSaw Compact Circular Saw

Die Säge wurde aus England geliefert und prompt auch mit Stecker für das dortige Stromnetz.Bei einem kurzen Test war der Schnitt mit dem HSS-Batt recht ausgefranzt. Ursache mMn einfach die zu niedrigen Drehzahl in Verbindung mit dem 400 Watt Motörchen.Rückgabe war problemlos

I have the WX427 XL 700W WORXSAW and have read the tales of woe other reviewers have related here. I have only cut wood using the machine and I have only used the wood blade that came in the box. My own experience of this saw is quite positive. This saw is incredibly light weight, the blade is very thin and creates minimal saw dust. I have had very accurate cuts using it.However, like most users I tried to use the saw like I use my 1800W circular saw and indeed I too found the blade wandered from true even when using a straight edge as a guide. At first I thought this was because my hand pushing the saw with the blade at full depth of the work piece through the cut was positioned behind the blade and that the slightest deviation from the straight edge by me would result in an unsatisfactory cut. The blade jammed. In fact the blade did slip on one occasion. I was cutting 18mm birch ply. Whilst the blade is sharp and the machine turns fast, it does not have the same torque as my 1800W circular saw, nor should I expect it to. The vibration feedback will using the machine told me I was pushing it machine or blade beyond its limits cutting this material.I then adjusted my technique. Instead of trying to achieve the cut in one single pass I found I could achieve accurate cuts running the blade depth at half depth using a straight edge as a guide. Allowing the blade to cut without pushing the machine too hard, the forces and vibration acting on the blade and the machine were noticeably less. Running the next pass with the blade just past full depth of the work piece resulted in sharp clean cuts on both the topside and underside of the work requiring very little with a hand plane.Using this technique I have consistently achieved good clean accurate cuts of over 2.4 metre lengths, requiring very little corrective work if any and was able to complete all my cuts through the birch ply to build the sides, doors and drawers for a wardrobe.I have found 1” thick MDF can be cut in a single pass with no issues or defects.When cutting timber like pine shelving boards, again I found no issue. Cutting 2” x 4” framing timber may need the multi-pass approach if the wood is knotty and you are looking for a precise cut.If you try to twist the machine in the cut, the blade will jam. If you nip the blade in the cut between the work piece sides without supporting them properly, the blade will jam. This is after all a 700W machine.I have no particular brand loyalty and pick machines on their merits. This particular saw is very good for light work where a 1800W brute would do more damage than good. Used with a straight edge guide and clamping everything down safely, clean crisp cuts can be achieved consistently.Pay attention to the material you are cutting, plan the cuts properly and with a little time and understanding of the behaviour and performance of the machine which can only come with experience, you can achieve good cuts with this machine.One last thing, I do not rely or have ever used the laser. It was setup in a factory and shipped, then delivered. It is not unreasonable to expect the laser to be out of alignment.

Excellent tool, have used it numerous times, easy to hold with one hand. have even purchase extra Blades.ONLY problem, it came with UK power plug, could be my err (maybe I did not stipulate that I need an Australian plug)

This has genuinely changed the way I cut sheet wood. I have previously used a large circular saw which was unwieldy and inprecise, as well as a jigsaw which would lead to wonky lines, but I've just built a desk out of 24mm hardwood plywood and every angle and edge is perfectly straight. The blades are easy to swap and it sits well in the cut, being plenty powerful enough for most jobs. Just let the saw do the work. I tried pushing (forcing) it through some thicker wood and it slowed right down, but realised what I was doing and eased up on the forward pressure, letting the tool cut its way through at its own speed and it worked brilliantly. The vacuum attachment makes a huge difference to the amount of wood shavings that are spat out as well, so use it! Highly recommended.

For years I've used a jigsaw to cut close to the line and finished with a block plane. My mitres on 7 inch skirtings always had a bit of filler. Then I tried a circular saw but they are just too unwieldy for small pieces of timber and delicate work. The choice was a sliding mitre saw, a chop saw or a mini circular saw. I chose this Worxs and I wish I'd bought one years ago as they are so good.I’ve just finished using it to cut and rip 25mm, damp decking boards. The saw was accurate and fast. I found an aluminium roofing square ideal as a straight edge for cross cuts and clamped lengths of timber to act as guide for long rip cuts, a rip fence is included in the box. The laser makes this easy to line up along a long edge, some of the wood being ripped off was only 50mm wide.The Worx WX427XL can do mitred cuts, has good depth of cut and a motor powerful enough to slice through softwood to maximum depth, rip floorboards and fibreboard and get through hardwood without a problem. Plunge cuts are easy and cutting slots a breeze, finishing with the saw as a 'Polish Chisel' to clear out the slot. The metal blade made an easy job of cutten metal gully covers to length.The laser is bright enough for daylight use and is genuinely useful. The one slight drawback is that it's battery powered rather than automatically activated when the saw is on.
