I have a skillsaw - It is the HD5825 - Heavy Duty worm drive 6 1/2" blades.
I got it from my dear wife for Christmas last year.
I was using it in the shop cutting up some ply on the floor - two-bys holding
up the wood. Then for some reason - I forget - I adjusted the blade deeper
for something else. Returned to the floor and started cutting a slot across
my shop floor. The saw was to deep for the 2bys and cut a nice clean slot
1/16 " deep or so until I stopped. The blade was used up a bit but the saw
never thought of the load. Neither did I, having it below some ply. I suppose
I'll fill it with an accent color to be neat.

I have been browsing this board for a while, and decided it was time to
contribute something; since I have gained so much from it. I purchased
one of the Home Depot brand Ridgid R3210 saws today. I am totally
impressed with the power of this saw. I had a pretty good size project
to complete today, and it finished it in less than 30 minutes. I cut
approximately 40' of 1/2" thick 6061 aluminum sheet into smaller pieces
for a machining operation. I even used the blade that was provided in
the box, and the saw didn't even grunt. It cut it like a piece of
paneling!! The warranty is what really got me interested. 3-years,
and if something goes wrong with it, I can return it to the store for
an exchange. I figured I would give it a try and see how long it
lasts. The saw is pretty heavy, but that is to my advantage for the
things I will be cutting with it. The heavier saw should be easier to
feed into tougher-to-cut materials, and have less vibration. Don't
expect to stand on a 10' ladder and cut rafters with it........way too
heavy for that!! If anybody has any questions about this saw, feel
welcome to ask.


Thanks for the review. Have you by any chance used other brands of
worm-drive saws (Skilsaw or others)? If so, I would be interested in a
comparison, since I plan to buy one soon.
