Default Circular saw question


"yuyu" wrote in message
s.com...
I own a makita circular saw and it cuts very well and fast. was
however wondering if theres there a reason why circular saws are not
made with variable speed? It would be much more controllable i guess.


Maybe variable speed would work - at least in some conditions, but I could
see where stalls would be a huge problem for a saw. You can stall a
variable speed drill motor pretty easily, and a saw suffers some rougher
work than a drill does.
