The Skilsaw Super Sawsquatch is one of only two circular saws with a 16-5/16″ blade that I know of. Skilsaw Super Sawsquatch Circular Saw Review Features We are going to take a look at this saw’s features, performance, and value to see if this is something that you might want to add to your tool inventory. With a blade, this size, stopping it quickly is a concern. The blade on the Skilsaw Super Sawsquatch is located on left side and will bevel an impressive 45 degrees.īecause of this, Skilsaw has included an electronic brake. To control the dust created by this saw, there is a dust port at the front of the saw where you can adjust the direction of the extracted dust. The depth of cut can easily be adjusted by a flip of the lever located at the back of the saw. There is a blade changing tool that is stored right on the tool for your convenience.
The last thing to mention about this unit is the carrying case. This is usually an afterthought with tools but in this case, with the massive size and weight, Skilsaw wanted to keep this to a minimum. The Super Sawsquatch sits on a base that clips to the saw foot and you use the handles on the saw to carry it. Skilsaw Super Sawsquatch Circular Saw Review Performance This way, the saw is easy to move, sits flat and the blade guard is protected. I can sum this section up with one word: Outstanding. I had a very old 6″ x 8″ barn beam (slow growth Elm I believe) that I had bought over the winter to replace a mantle. The beam wasn’t going to work out for what I bought it for, so this was a perfect opportunity to check out what this saw could do.īefore I go any further, this saw blade rotates at 2,500 no load RPM which is much slower than the typical 5,300 no load RPM found on 7-1/4″ circular saws. Even though the center of the blade is turning slower, the large blade size creates a high blade tip speed. My first cuts were to see how well the saw performed crosscuts. This is the type of cut this saw is going to be used for most of the time.
Even with the huge size of this saw, it was extremely easy to use and control.
