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).

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2015
Although some advertisements tout a "multi-purpose tool", most tools excel at one task. Where some circular saws perform well as cut-off saws (a saw intended to repeatedly and readily cut off work piece ends), the niche for the subject Rockwell saw is plunge cuts. Plunge cuts rely on the lower portion of the circular blade being exposed so it can enter the work piece.
The Rockwell saw is very well engineered and constructed. The battery-operated laser projects a red line that accurately aligns with the cutting blade. The blade is on the left side of the motor. The sawdust exhaust nozzle is out of the way of the alignment indicators. The 3 3/8" blade is capable of making accurate plunge cuts up to just over one inch in depth. The saw base has markers to show where the blade is positioned for various cut depths. A smooth, thin, planar, plastic shoe may be attached to the base underside to prevent scratching of the work piece. An accessory fence (adjustable in distance from the blade) comes with the tool. As a result of the tool design, the complete saw base can rest on the work piece and be accurately aligned before the saw is brought up to speed and plunged into the work piece. One risks kick backs if the saw is not at full speed before plunging. The two finger controls on the saw were easy to distinguish and selectively energize. The party (review elsewhere) who purchased this tool to cut 2 x 4s may have overlooked pertinent specifications listed by the manufacturer.
I did not purchase the Rockwell saw to cut fire wood or construct a dog house, outhouse, shed or a house. In order to accommodate a taller refrigerator in a oak kitchen cabinet I needed to trim away the upper edge of the cabinet. The Rockwell saw performed the linear cut admirably in just a few minutes. As far as I am concerned, the saw paid for itself with that one task.
It did take some getting used to, so be sure to practice on scrap material until you get the hang of it.
1. The depth gauge can be a bit tricky to adjust. Spray the gauge with a dry lube (such as WD40 Specialist PTFE spray) and it will work better.
2. Set the depth to just a fraction deeper than the material being cut. You'll get a cleaner cut with less kickback.
3. The plate is spring loaded. Start the saw then press down slowly, but firmly before cutting. Make sure the plate is pressed firmly against the material before cutting.
4. Go slowly until you get the feel. I did experience some kickback when I first tried the saw. But firm and slow took care of that until I got the feel of how it worked.
5. I have found that I can get a cleaner cut with thin (.25) plywood, by placing a scrap board directly under the cut line. With the depth slightly deeper than .25 you'll get a clean cut, leaving a shallow line in the scrap. Ditto for other thicknesses.
6. This is a gutsy saw for saw for material up to 1". Works fine with 3/4" plywood or lumber up to 1". Use a different saw for thicker stock.
7. Despite my comments on overcoming kickback, I feel safer using this saw than my 7.5" circular saw.
For my needs it fills the bill.

The only downside is it can't cut deeper than 1 1/8 (ie: 2 x 4) but you just flip it and rip through it again.
Se complica mucho presionar para bajar la hoja y mantener la linea de corte correcta. El laser solo se ve si no hay mucha luz
Es para cortes no muy precisos de piezas no muy largas
