Einhell TC-CS 860 Mini Circular Saw | 450W, Tool-Free Cutting Depth Adjustment to Max. 23 mm | Compact Hand-Held Cutting Tool With 2 x Saw Blades (Wood/Plastic,) 1 x Diamond Cutting Wheel

Product Information

Most circular saws offer the ability to set the cutting depth and the angle of a bevel by adjusting the saw’s angle relative to its baseplate guide. The depth of a cut will vary according to the angle – most saws will be able to cut more deeply when positioned at 90 degrees to the material, while angled cuts won’t be quite as deep. There’s no doubting the quality of the Makita, which goes a long way to explain the brand’s popularity among tradespeople. With the exception of the handle and motor shroud, pretty much everything here is made from metal and it feels like it could withstand an atomic blast, let alone a drop from a workbench.

You lift a lever to adjust the cutting depth, or turn a knob to vary the cutting angle – and both have marks to ensure accuracy. It’s a touch louder than the Makita, in both its no-load performance and during cutting, but its no-load speed is only a fraction behind. For occasional use, the Mac Allister is highly impressive, especially given that appealing price tag. Just like the rest of the mini circular saws, this specific model is single-handed. It also benefits of an ergonomic design for an increased comfort and control. Some of us use a mini circular saw only for cutting wood while others for metal, aluminium, or other materials. It is important to highlight that this specific model comes with 6 different blades, although it is considerably cheaper.

This Einhell TC-CS 860 has a special steady aluminium soleplate, which offers good sliding properties for a firm, constant sawing. Yet again, it contains an integrated laser which comes as a support for an accurate execution of straight cuts. This tool also features an overload cut-out.

The max depth is 28.5 mm, a lot smaller compared to its Worx counterpart. Yet again, the laser is accurate and a friend in need and the depth control is easy to adjust. We like the fact that this mini circular hand-held saw comes in a smart compact kit. The tool bag is included in the delivery. Base plate: It is important that the base plate be sturdy and strong to provide stability to the saw during operation.We’ve tested the three main types of saws here – corded, cordless, and a mini circular saw – covering all-round useability, the accessories included, the noise when the saw is spinning freely and during a cut, and, of course, its ability to cut wood.

It comes equipped with a battery-powered laser which projects a light along the line you wish to follow on a cut. That makes the cut far more accurate and easier. What’s different about this Dremel mini circular saw is the fact it uses abrasive cutting technology. That means that the wheels are abrasive and not tooth bladed wheels like the rest. If you’re working in a confined space, a mini circular saw can be indispensable and Einhell’s TC-CS is a great example. At just 2kg, it’s light and, with a handle roughly the same size as a grinder, it’s easy to hold. Key specs – Weight: 3.37kg; Blade diameter: 165mm; Cutting depth at 90 degrees: 55mm; Cutting depth at 45 degrees: 38mm; No-load speed: 5,000rpm

Blade capacity: Larger blades means more power and more depth. Normally the blades used in circular saws vary between 5 ½ to 71/4 inches. Most blades around 5 3/8 inch can comfortably cut through 2 inches of lumber. But remember, the bigger the blade the heavier the saw.

The best circular saws operate at the fastest speeds, measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). And the faster a circular sawblade can spin, the more control you’ll have over the cut and the cleaner it will be. You’ll generally find a correlation between the blade speed and the power rating of the tool, where bigger is almost always better. Key specs – Weight: 3.37kg; Blade diameter: 85mm; Cutting depth at 90 degrees: 23mm; Cutting depth at 45 degrees: NA; No-load speed: 6,000rpm Due to its size and power, you don’t get any blades for metal or aluminium as it is not intended to be used on such materials.

Its bevel lever allows you to change your cutting angle up to 45 degrees. Therefore, this can be considered a mini plunge circular saw, as it’s a great alternative for light plunge cuts. With the blade to the right of the handle, it’s a little easier for right-handers, but, thanks to the well-positioned two-way release switch, left-handers will have little problem using it. Bevel adjustment: For the correct angle required for bevel cuts the bevel should be adjustable preferably to 45 degrees. However, let’s not take away its merit. Without a quality finish blade and an expert hand, a full-size circular saw tend to produce tearout when cutting thin pieces of trim or any other thin finish material. Therefore, depending on your needs, you might find out that you do need a mini circular saw after all. So, what is the best Mini Circular Saw? The kit includes 1 x DSM500 Multipurpose Carbide Cutting Wheel, 3 x DSM510 Metal and Plastic Cutting Wheels, one Dust extraction, 1 x Straight Edge Guide, 1x 2×4 cutting guide, 1x welcome DVD and last, but not least, a spacious storage case.
