SKIL 14-Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw (5180-01) – Lightweight Power for DIY Projects

Powerful, precise performance for weekend and DIY projects

The SKIL 5180-01 is a 14-Amp, 7-1/4-inch circular saw built for everyday tasks—from framing to trimming plywood. Its robust motor delivers steady torque, helping you achieve straight, clean cuts with confidence. The tool's balance and thoughtful grip design promote comfortable control, so you can push through multiple cuts without fatigue.

Weighing approximately 7.2 pounds, this model feels lighter in hand than its predecessor, which reduces user fatigue during longer sessions. The on-tool spindle lock supports quick blade changes with the included wrench, so you can move between tasks with minimal downtime. A 20-tooth carbide blade is included, giving you ready-to-cut performance right out of the box.

Cut quality is aided by an integrated dust blower that keeps the line of cut free from stray sawdust, helping you see your mark clearly. The 51-degree bevel range, with a positive stop at 45 degrees, expands your options for bevel and miter cuts, enhancing versatility for framing and finish work. These features combine to support accurate results without adding complexity to your workflow.
