Kitchen Fitting Mark Moloney

I'm a kitchen fitter in Northern Ireland and I use my RAGE 185mm Multipurpose Circular Saw daily to cut timber, aluminium, stainless steel and the odd nail or screw when lifting floorboards. I'm on my second saw because I broke the first one, by accidentally standing on it and twisting the base assembly.

I bought the first one because I had a job fitting over 100 sheets of Fermacell board, which is a board similar to plasterboard but with far superior technical characteristics; it's heavier, more difficult to cut, very dusty when being cut and generally an all round pain. The dust collector on the RAGE saw, although small really did work and the amount of dust produced when cutting this stuff was drastically reduced.

The reason I chose it 'twice' was the dust collection facility. When cutting chipboard worktops the amount of wood chippings is incredible and anything to minimise the mess in customers' homes is a good thing.

I've found the thin kerf blade a real bonus in all materials, less effort required to get it through some quite heavy-duty material. Just the other day I had to cut and size a number of 45mm thick solid walnut worktops. No problem for the RAGE, breezed through them like a knife through butter.

It's a great tool and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others or get another when this one eventually bites the dust.
