Cutting rock-solid wood with a depth of two & half inches has never been and easy job. The Black & Decker BDECS300C 13 Amp Circular Saw with Laser has a user-friendly design and is an ideal circular saw to get tons of work done in no time. Packed with 13 Amps of power, this tool has aggressive sound and feels great in the hand.
It can cut 2x material in straight drives, rip cutting of plywood, miter, and bevel cutting of 2x. However, this is not the only circular saw of its kind in the industry so let’s see where it stands among top-of-the-line wood cutters of this class.
Powerful – Accurate – Better Control
The Black & Decker 13 Amp Circular Saw with Laser is a corded model and runs on 13 Amperes of power. This motor is powerful enough to tackle with the most demanding cutting tasks. The corded designs are comparatively light and more powerful because they lack weight of batteries and use direct power source. If you can deal with the hassle of wire, which is not a big issue on its own, this model is best for bigger and tough tasks. Plus, the light weight design allows you to work longer without user fatigue and with a better control.
The laser-guide is one of the special features of this model. You don’t need to draw lines on material before cutting. This feature ensures cut accuracy and saves time as well. The light will turn on once you press trigger and blade starts moving. But it would have been even better if it could show up before the cutting process starts.
Light Weight Tool for Heavy Weight Applications
The bevel allows easy adjustments between 0 and 45 degrees, ideal for angular cuts, and the depth of 2.5-inches at 90 degrees. The spindle lock in this model allows effortless blade changing. There is safety cover under the saw for increased safety when you are not using this tool. Like most other Black & Decker tools, this tool also comes in red color and the metallic saw housing looks great. The power cord has plastic housing where it enters the tool.
This is smart because the power cord wears out at this point very commonly. This 7-pound Black and Decker circular saw has just right weight for handling and cutting tasks. The rotation is surprisingly high, starting from 0 to stunning 5300 RPM. It requires 110-120 volts as it is designed to operate in the United States. However, you can use step down adaptor if you are planning to use in the other regions.

The price tag will attract you as it is hard to find the tool of this class at a cheap price. The package contains a circular saw, 17-1/4 inches Blade, and HEX key. If you are looking for a quality circular saw under tight budget, this model is good to go.
Not a bad saw for as cheap as it is. The only thing I would recommend is buying a decent blade along with it. For the first few times of use, I thought it was a bad saw. By chance I changed the blade just to see, and sure enough it was a whole new saw experience. I’d give it 4.5 stars, out of 5.
Thank you for the comment Bryan and we agree with you about upgrading the blade.
