Rockwell Compact Circular Saw

I'm excited to start using my Rockwell compact circular saw. Since I live in a condo and have very little room, I have never bought a circular saw. As is, I have tools stored in every nook and cranny in my condo. My router, jigsaw, drill, and Rotozip are all in various closets and under beds. I forgot I had a jigsaw for a while until I found it stuffed in the back of a closet.

This weekend I redid my old patio table. The pressure treated wood was 17 years old and in need of replacing. But I didn't want to waste the old wood, so I decided to paint some art pieces on it. But first I needed to cut the wood to size. Certainly the jigsaw or Rotozip would do it, but I'm not good a doing straight lines with those tools. And I knew a circular saw would do it in half the time (at least).

I went to the store to look at getting a small one as was excited to find the Rockwell compact circular saw.

Look at how small it is! Easy to store, easy to use. And I finally can make straight cuts on wood. It's perfect for a hobbyist.

I have 6 boards at 48 inches. I can do at least 6 pieces of art with that. I can't wait to get started.
