The Rockwell VersaCut is a compact circular saw that’s easy to control with just one hand (view larger).Powerful Mini Circular Saw
The Rockwell VersaCut possesses the power of a large, bulky, and heavy circular saw in a compact, well-balanced, lightweight design. Make professional-looking results in wood, flooring, plastic, ceramic tile, metal, and more using exclusive Laserguide technology that indicates a precise cutting line. And thanks to its small size, the VersaCut gives you power and accuracy in tight areas that cannot be accessed by regular circular saws.

Professional-Style Results with Just One Hand
The VersaCut—equipped with a 4-amp motor—provides professionals and everyday do-it-yourselfers alike with the fantastic-looking results; users can make perfect rip cuts and plunge cuts with assistance from Laserguide technology that ensures users won’t have to measure a cut twice (saving time and money). A dust extraction adapter that keeps the cut line clear of dust further improves visibility. And unlike most saws, the VersaCut is designed to cut through materials thicker than 1 inch.

Streamlined Silhouette
Thanks to an extremely slim design, the VersaCut provides you with better control—and its ergonomically balanced design with rear-motor construction improves user comfort and decreases fatigue. The lock-off switch prevents accidental starting, and the durable full metal inner and outer guard design extends product life. Quick access to the depth-adjustment lever allows you to move the indicator to the desired depth and lock the mechanism with ease.

A Very Good Tool, BUT… I have been a pro cabinet and finish carpentry contractor for most of 30 years. I bought this saw after my little Makita battery operated trim saw crapped out. I never did like that saw from the start, it was too weak for professional use and kicked back on plunge cuts EVERY TIME unless I held it with a death grip.This Rockwell saw is very well made. Fit and finish are very good. The handle is a little big for me, and I have average size mitts. Nevertheless, it is easy to control. The laser guide is pretty cool, I have never been one to use laser guides before, I almost always set up a straight edge guide for accuracy.I also like the fact the blade is on the left side of the saw like a worm drive. This is completely natural for right handers like me, and you can see your cut a lot more easily. Why “sidewinders” have the blade on the right has never made sense, in my humble opinion.Others have mentioned the carrying bag which is very convenient for…

Very nice tool I bought this hoping it would be a nice alternative to my cicular saw when cutting things 1-inch thick and less. Just used it for the first time on some 3/4″ plywood and it did just what I had hoped. I have a few Rockwell tools (JawHorse and Sonicrafter) and all are solid quality tools. This is no exception. You can’t cut 2x4s with it, but as long as you realize its limits (designed in), its a great addition to a workshop.I wish that the ratings would allow me to give this a 4 7/8 star rating because I have 2 comments…1. I had to put a little bit of duct tape around the vacuum attachment because my vacuum’s end was a bit bigger (1/16″) than the attachment’s outer diameter. To be fair to Rockwell, I don’t know if this is the fault of my vacuum or the Versacut.2. As much as I like the “plunge” design, it would be nice if this had a convenient means of locking down the blade to not require the “plunge”.Neither of these issues were…
