According to our circular saw expert
With a weight of 3.5 kg, the circular saw is compact and user-friendly.
For a clear indication of your cut, the laser is a useful aid.
It is possible to start with this circular saw in the middle of the workpiece, thanks to the incidence function.
The maximum cutting depth is not so much at 28.5 millimeters, which makes the circular saw particularly suitable for cutting thin material such as laminate.
The Powerplus POWX1365MB is supplied with miter guide, which makes this precision circular saw very interesting for jobs such as shortening laminate and cutting skirting to size. Especially if you add the dust extraction that ensures that you work as dust-free as possible. With its 89 millimeter blade and a maximum speed of 5500 you work quickly and precisely up to a maximum cutting depth of 28.5 millimeters.
The PowerPlus 'mini circular saw' is a product that is especially useful for small jobs that you don't have to do every day. At the moment I am renovating and it is fine for cutting laminate. Nice and fast with reasonable precision.
Accurate enough for laminate, but not for people who, for example, want to build a cabinet where everything has to connect nicely at right angles.
The price-quality ratio is intuitively good, it even has a nice laser guide that shows fairly spot-on where you are sawing. As a result, you no longer even need the miter box for sawing laminate. If you place a thick sheet of wood under the laminate and you set the cutting depth correctly, you can easily and flexibly saw thin materials such as laminate. Keep in mind that you should always cut a little deeper so that the material to be cut is thick.
The miter box was a big plus for me, but in practice the saw goes through the guides very stiffly. The first part still slides reasonably well, but the further you go with the saw, the stiffer it gets. The linear guides seem to run towards each other. As a result, they clamp the saw, as it were. I was able to remedy this problem by applying P.T.F.E. spray (also known as Teflon spray or Tefspray). Now it slides well, but I can also see that the miter box will wear out quickly because the sliding surfaces are aluminum and the base of the tool is steel. In the long run I will probably try to mount two Teflon strips in the miter box, perhaps a job to accomplish after the move.
The machine feels safe in my hands, maybe too safe. The device commands little respect because it is so light and handy, a small mistake seems to me quickly made. It is and remains a circular saw and they do not go well with fingers and other body parts. This, plus the clunky double release (one to turn the saw on, and another to bring the saw to the right depth) makes it a slightly more dangerous saw in my opinion.
The somewhat larger models from Makita, Bosch or Festool often have a loose linear guide, this is often so well put together and such a device is more difficult to use off-the-cuff, so that people are inclined to use the guides, which it is at their best. turn a little safer. With this small circular saw from Powerplus you really want to work from the loose wrist because it is so light, and is ultimately intended for that. So pay close attention to where your hands are while cutting.
All in all I am satisfied, this is mainly because this saw fills a place in my toolkit that I was still looking for: a small handy circular saw for occasional use, which takes up little space, does not cost much and can be easily carried.

Handy and compact device. However, based on the image, I expected it to be even more compact. I used it to update an already installed MDF board, which was impossible with a normal size appliance. I think it's ideal for beginners. The safety button at the top is the only negative, although necessary. This does not facilitate sawing in hard-to-reach places.

I bought this device after reading the reviews here on coolblue. When I had to start working with the device, I, like several other users, found that the 3 security tools were not very safe or convenient. You have to press the release button with your thumb, push away a catch with your index finger and switch on the machine with your middle finger. Due to the size of the device, I quickly got cramps in my hand. I regretted my purchase.
I also thought the dust extraction was a joke; when I cut a sheet of laminate, a lot of dust was still released that was not vacuumed up. Especially if I had to cut a plank lengthwise. Moments later, when I cut a plank lengthwise WITHOUT using the extraction hose, I saw that a lot of dust was released. Perhaps the diameter of the extraction hose could be slightly larger for even better extraction. It is therefore recommended to attach this hose.
Before I knew it, I had laminated 2 floors with the help of this Powerplus! The jigsaw has remained in the cupboard. You can make very nice straight cuts, partly because of the laser light. You must always turn this light off after use, because it does not run on electricity, but on batteries.
The supplied miter box is fairly handy, but is getting stiffer and stiffer. The angle cannot be set precisely either. I haven't used it very much.
In terms of sound, I can't say much about it because I used hearing protection when doing odd jobs.
All in all, I'm quite happy with this device. The saw is sharp, you can work quickly and it is not heavy to operate! I have not used the other saw blades supplied, metal/plastic and stone.
