HD5687M-01 Circular Saw
The HD5687M-01 circular saw from Skil
After years of offering only consumer-oriented 7-1⁄4-in. sidewinders, Skil is aiming the 5687 to pros. Blade-guard operation is good at all angles, and cutline markers are passable at both 90° and 45°. Engraved numbers mark every 5° on the 51° bevel scale, and the 45° bypass is a simple offset slot. Despite a body-to-baseplate connection in line with the blade guard, this saw was stable. The offset distances from the edges of the baseplate to the blade are convenient measurements of 5-in. and 1-1⁄2-in., respectively.
