très bon outils rapport qualité prix et très versatile

I like it’s compactness for trim jobs. Max 1 1/16” depth plunge cut. I have the 4 1/2” Rockwell 314 worm drive as well but this one is great for repair jobs, especially on laminate flooring. Easy to hold. Laser LR44 batteries are quite cheap. I use a guide for longer cuts as twisting the saw slightly can result in blade drift. Do that and you will have no issues. Great for laminate flooring and vacuum adapter is bonus. 3 year warranty if you register the saw. Two years if you don’t. However, the online registration option is not available on Rockwell website despite warranty card offering the option. You get: Saw, 3 blades, side guide, 2 LR44 batteries for laser guide, plastic no mar slip plate, vacuum adapter and rugged zippered storage bag. Decent value compared to other similar options.

This is a review of Rockwell RK3440K mini circular blade saw with a laser cut-line indicator.Although some advertisements tout a "multi-purpose tool", most tools excel at one task. Where some circular saws perform well as cut-off saws (a saw intended to repeatedly and readily cut off work piece ends), the niche for the subject Rockwell saw is plunge cuts. Plunge cuts rely on the lower portion of the circular blade being exposed so it can enter the work piece.The Rockwell saw is very well engineered and constructed. The battery-operated laser projects a red line that accurately aligns with the cutting blade. The blade is on the left side of the motor. The sawdust exhaust nozzle is out of the way of the alignment indicators. The 3 3/8" blade is capable of making accurate plunge cuts up to just over one inch in depth. The saw base has markers to show where the blade is positioned for various cut depths. A smooth, thin, planar, plastic shoe may be attached to the base underside to prevent scratching of the work piece. An accessory fence (adjustable in distance from the blade) comes with the tool. As a result of the tool design, the complete saw base can rest on the work piece and be accurately aligned before the saw is brought up to speed and plunged into the work piece. One risks kick backs if the saw is not at full speed before plunging. The two finger controls on the saw were easy to distinguish and selectively energize. The party (review elsewhere) who purchased this tool to cut 2 x 4s may have overlooked pertinent specifications listed by the manufacturer.I did not purchase the Rockwell saw to cut fire wood or construct a dog house, outhouse, shed or a house. In order to accommodate a taller refrigerator in a oak kitchen cabinet I needed to trim away the upper edge of the cabinet. The Rockwell saw performed the linear cut admirably in just a few minutes. As far as I am concerned, the saw paid for itself with that one task.

Muy práctica y de buena calidad.

Really like the design and build. I particular like the fact that the saw base sits flush to the cutting plane until I pull the safety and power trigger to plunge the blade into the board. I've noticed that other saws in this category don't have this feature meaning the saw base has to be angled at the start and only sits flat to the cutting plane when the blade is fully plunged into into the board.

I purchased this product after watching several youtube videos. Product came defective and is not able to produce straight cuts. In addition, product smokes even though I set it to the very basic job of cutting laminate plank. Will go to garbage since Amazon does not want to replace it. Zero stars for product and customer service.

Best saw ever for ripping plywood or plunge cutting into hardwood flooring for repairs. Small, easy to maneuver and you rarely need more than 1" depth anyway. I have used this saw for cutting out flooring for new flush mount registers and for cutting out a damaged section of plywood in my travel trailer. The saw gets into those tight areas with precision and doesn't disapont.

This tool is awesome!!! comes with blades to slice through different materials. very smooth action cutting and they thought of extra gadgets to help you cut straight lines. What precision, easy to use, plunge cut, compact, easy to handle, plenty of power. I bought this to replace my circular saw and I don't regret it.The only downside is it can't cut deeper than 1 1/8 (ie: 2 x 4) but you just flip it and rip through it again.

Muy buena calidad completo de accesorios, sin embargo es muy complicado lograr cortes rectos y bien hechosSe complica mucho presionar para bajar la hoja y mantener la linea de corte correcta. El laser solo se ve si no hay mucha luzEs para cortes no muy precisos de piezas no muy largas

Compact, good ergonomics, and easy to work with than a circular saw. Laser sight is nice too. That said, it isn't a replacement for a circular saw, as the max cutting depth is quite shallow (1 1/8) so you want to ensure you really consider this before you buy it. Does it offer more utility over a circular saw? no probably not. this is more of a niche tool, and supplements what you might otherwise due with a circular saw. If you're just doing small jobs, then you're fine, but if you need a do it all, i would buy a circular saw first and than later consider if it's worth purchasing this niche saw for smaller jobs.

I was watching a you tube video..and left the following comment...I figured I would share it here since i bought my versacut on amazon...the gentleman that was reviewing this saw was so biased towards a full sized circular saw...I figured I would share why I love this saw insteadHere is my answer to him and my review I am a woman that likes to build things ..fix things ..etcI know people that are comfortable with big circular saw would agree with you. Someone like me that has an aversion to huge saws not only because of the danger, heavy size...and the sound..I cannot take the sound of huge circular saws I wear hearing aids..with and without them that sound cuts right through me ..no pun intended...My dad always used a circular saw ..he was a builder..my mom and I share the same hearing problem would freak at the sound...so we used every saw but...that circulr saw lol we were almost phobic about it..meanwhile we use a chain saw like a boss LOL go figure..Enter versacut ..a smaller saw...has the safety feature of the push down plate...and suddenly this girl is cutting wood and building things..and the plunge cut YES i needed that...I also love that It sounds fine to me....I immediately felt comfortable cutting plywood and other wood for projects...I felt safe and I totally got into wood work...I finally made stuff out of all that wood I was saving in my garage that ONE DAY I would make stuff out of....from this Great experience ...I also got a blade runner..most excellent little portable table saw and I have the sonicrafter..jaw horse sheet master and the portable jaw horse...I went with Rockwell as the brand made great tools for a beginner like me that did not intimidate me.I always wanted a little woodshop but the circular saw always put me off...this little saw got me started ....Like I said I can see why someone like you that has no qulams using a full sized circular saw...more power to ya...for me this littlw saw has gotten me on my way to making things...and getting over a phobia i had of circular saws...maybe one day a full sized is gonna make its way into my little wood shop..for now this is great..

works good

This has been one of the most carefully researched products I've purchased lately. In addition to reading all of the Amazon reviews (and dozens of others online) and watching several videos, I went to several stores to test how various types of mini saws felt in-hand. Here is a summary of the results:TYPES OF SAWS:This is a mini circular saw, which means it has the same type of serrated blade as a full-size circular saw only smaller. There are a handful of brands making this style of saw. There is a similar type of saw from some other companies (Dremel is one of them) that look similar but use a grinding wheel type cutting edge rather than a serrated saw blade. And there is a category of saws that are about half the size of a full-size circular saw, most of which are battery powered. All of these are designed for portable hand-held use cutting primarily in a straight line, as opposed to a jig saw or saber saw. Other types of saws available are bench saws, band saws and miter saws which each have their own characteristics.WHO IS THIS FOR:Like any tool, choosing the right type of tool can make the job easier. By its nature a mini circular saw is not designed for cutting thick wood or use for extended periods. It is not intended to cut intricate designs nor complex angles. It can be considered an occasional saw for such tasks as cutting trim, flooring, trimming paneling, plunge cuts (for example cutting a hole for an electrical outlet in wall paneling), and in the case of some of saws thin metal, PVC piping, tile and other relatively soft materials.WHAT ITS NOT:There are occasional comments that this saw will not cut 2 x 4's and other thick materials. No, that's not what it's designed for any more than one would use a teaspoon to stir cement or a whisk broom to sweep an auditorium. This is not the tool to own if you are only going to have one saw in your workshop. A full-size circular saw can't be beat for cutting 2 x 4's.IS IT SAFE:No. No power tool is safe and among the least safe are power saws of any type. All power tools must be used with common sense, whether you are an experienced carpenter or an apartment dweller who dabbles in light fixit work. But used properly and prudently it is no less safe than any other saw with a rapidly rotating bladeIS IT EASY TO USE:While the VersaCut is indeed truly versatile and relatively lightweight, the design leaves a lot to be desired in terms of being to hold it comfortably. To be able to wrap my hand around the barrel and squeeze the trigger the natural position for my wrist was to hold the saw counter-clockwise at about a 10 degree angle, which of course would not be a correct cutting position. When I rotated my wrist so the saw was at the correct angle it felt very uncomfortable. Adding to that is that I had to stretch my index finger to be able to reach the trigger. At that position it was hard to be able to control the saw without wobbling it from side-to-side and to be able to press down firmly enough to keep the blade guard pressed against the material I was cutting. In addition, the plastic barrel was hard to hold for more than a minute at a time because my hand got sweaty and tended to slip against the plastic. I found that all of this improved significantly when I wore a knit workshop glove with a leather palm and fingers (which should be SOP for such a tool anyway). The difference was night and day in being able to hold the tool and operate the trigger.WHICH ONE TO PICK:Among others I own a full-size circular saw, a power miter saw, a power jigsaw, power saber saw, Dremel tool, and oscillating tool with saw blades. My application is short cuts on flooring, paneling, cabinetry, trimming shelving and similar work. This dictated a small circular saw to quickly cut smooth squared ends. I looked at the similarly shaped Dremel-type saw and did not choose it because it uses a grinding-type edge rather than a serrated saw blade. I found those types of saws prone to burning the wood, nicking the finish of flooring/paneling, and being slow to use, not to mention dulling more rapidly than a serrated blade. I looked at the battery powered mid-size saws and while very inexpensive they were not all that much lighter than my Skil saw, were underpowered and subject to short battery life. My final choice was the 4" version of the Rockwell (Compact Circular Saw) which is larger, heavier and lacks the fancy depth adjustment plate/blade guard of the VersaCut. The problem was that they are very hard to find and the fact that the VersaCut came with 3 blades and a finish protecting plate for only a few dollars more made it a little bit of a better buy and slightly better suited to cutting 1" or thinner wood plus sheet metal, tile and more.WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IMPROVED:1. The weight distribution and handle design2. The trigger location (I would put it on top to push down with the thumb)3. And most important, I would add a handle on top to stabilize operation and to be able to press down directly on the spring-loaded depth gauge/blade guard.4. I have yet to meet a handheld saw that can cut a flawless straight line and the VersaCut is no exception. Having the laser guide and ESPECIALLY the parallel guide helped tremendously. My first task was to use the tool to finish a Pergo flooring project for which I had to cut several 3" wide strips lengthwise, something that would have been a major challenge for any other tool. I messed up of the first cut because I took my eyes off of the parallel guide for a second. After that with my hand resting on top of the tool the rest of my cuts were perfect. Again, a handle on top would have been very helpful.
