Review
If you have ever tried to cut a sheet of plywood by yourself, you'll understand how easily a circular saw can bind in the cut (curf) or kick back when the saw is first turned on. Well, not with a wormdrive saw like the HD5860. When you turn this baby on the torque from the motor actually twists the saw towards the material and with the power of a 13-amp motor, the wormdrive's cuts are fast, smooth and easy. Another important aspect of the wormdrive is that the blade is located on the left side of the tool, unlike sidewinder saws which are on the right side. This provides for an easily viewable cutting area without the need to extend your body over the saw housing or twist your arms and shoulders in order to watch the path of the blade.A dual front sight helps to guide the saw along a marked line when cutting at 90, 45 or 60 degree angles. That's right, you can now cut stock up to 2 inches deep when set at a 60-degree angle, an exclusive feature of the HD5860. The durable cast aluminum motor and gear housing and an easily accessed oil refill port all make for a long-lasting and durable tool, something you've come to expect from Skil. --C. Dwight Barnett
