The 3.9 kg Circular Saw 5500 with a 184 mm cutting blade launched in India
Power tools manufacturer Skil introduces its 3.9 kg Circular Saw 5500 with a 184 mm cutting blade in India. It is powered by a 1500 watt motor for faster cutting speed and also boasts of the highest power to weight ratio in the circular saw category. Fast, powerful, and durable, the company said, SKIL Circular Saw 5500 is perfect for both standard and heavy duty applications and can be used to cut a wide range of materials, including softwoods, hardwoods, timber floor boards, laminated wooden boards, and skirting boards. The tool is a perfect choice for carpenters and wood workers looking for high quality and durable power tools, the company added.
“The SKIL 5500 addresses the sight to line of cut problem found in many circular saws, by introducing a two-point view of the cutting line, allowing users to follow the line from both sides of the saw blade. The left side also features a cutting window that provides the user with a clear line of sight,” the company said.
Tailored for optimum comfort, ease of use and safety, the SKIL Circular Saw 5500 has a die – cast aluminum body along with strong guard, stainless steel foot plate, enhanced carbon brush, bevel and depth setting mechanism and end cap design. The circular saw’s upper and lower metal guards have a thickness of 2.5mm, well above the industry standard of 1.2 - 1.5 mm. The lower guard features a patented, anti-snag design, allowing it to withstand the rigors of rough cutting applications, particularly when making narrow cut-offs.
Unlike conventional guards which may bend or break easily, the robust design of the SKIL Circular Saw 5500’s lower guard ensures it will maintain its integrity even when dropped on hard ground. The stamped metal foot plate of this circular saw is similarly designed with rough cutting applications in mind to provide extra stability and durability to the tool. An integrated auxiliary handle provides extra comfort and optimum sawing guidance control. Lock-off switch allows users to operate the switch from either side of the handle. These handy features, together with a combination of the circular saw’s compact design and light weight, offer users an efficient and convenient tool for fatigue-free working.
The SKIL Circular Saw 5500 also features an optimized chip ejection system. Chips are bundled as they flow out of the dust port in the upper guard, allowing for improved dust management.
The SKIL brand was taken over by Bosch Group in 1996 and the first SKIL products were introduced in Asia in 2002. In 2005-2006, a comprehensive range of SKIL products specifically designed for the Asian market was launched across the Asia Pacific region.
