| 749797 | 2009-02-20 22:41:00 | No they are definitely the same just some circular saws are made by the company Skil and other circular saws are made by companies such as Makita, Bosch etc | gary67 (56) | ||
| 749798 | 2009-02-20 22:43:00 | Pop in to one of the large tool shops, such as Mitre10, and view the range. The Nelson one has about fifteen on display, ranging in price from $60 to hundreds of dollars. Ignore the piss-takers here. The two items are similar.:rolleyes: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 749799 | 2009-02-20 22:44:00 | No theyre the same thing. Skil is a company, and circular saws are often called skil saws According to Wikipedia The worm-drive portable circular saw was invented in 1924 by the Michel Electric Handsaw Company which renamed itself Skilsaw Inc., Today a subsidiary of Robert Bosch GmbH. Portable circular saws are often still called Skilsaws or Skil saws. Its successor is still sold by Skil as the model 77. |

A circular saw refers to the blade being used. A skilsaw is a particular make of portable circular saws. Have you been to a timber mill which converts Logs to Planks? Probably you would need a bigger circular blade. |

| 749805 | 2009-02-20 23:29:00 | I am referring to hand held portable saws. Thanks for the replies. They do appear to be the same thing, based on different photos I have seen |
