Chicago Electric 69064

The Chicago Electric 69064 is substantial in size and weight, giving it a sturdy feel. It has the least amperage out of the bunch, but surprisingly, it is one of the best fast-cutting saws. And if you prefer to cut with two hands while clamping the wood to a workstation, then the saw's deliberate two-handed design and wrap-around handle will be a wonderful match.

There are a few minor quibbles in this Chicago Electric 69064 saw, though. For starters, the blade guard on this saw is so enormous that it completely obscures the blade's left-side vision. While we really value the safety it brings about, we still believe the cut line must always be visible for better efficacy.

Furthermore, the spring tension on guard is so great that retracting it at the start of the cut needs considerable power. As a result, the saw has a natural propensity to drift away from the transect line. Fortunately, the saw comes equipped with lasers, which you may enjoy if you spend more time cutting in poor light or prefer some additional visual direction.
