About This Product
The Rockwell 4-1/2" Compact Circular Saw is an effective and hassle-free replacement for a traditional circ saw. Just grab it and go when you need to make some quick rip or plunge cuts-no need to lug out the bulky full-size saw. Even though it has the functionality to handle all sorts of projects, this saw was made for 2" lumber, cutting 2x4s in a single pass. Its lightweight design (only 5 lbs) allows for better control of the tool so you can operate it with just one hand. And it makes overhead cutting much more of a possibility than with a full-size saw. The grip is comfortable to use for extended periods. And the smaller blade allows the 5-amp motor to spin it up to 3,500 rpm, achieving the speeds of much larger saws while putting less strain on the motor for more efficient energy usage and increased life of the tool. The easy to access depth adjustment lever allows for a maximum cutting depth of 1.7" at 90 degrees. While the bevel lever lets you make the most common angled cuts from 0-45 degrees, with a maximum cutting depth of 1.125" on those cuts. Again, this saw excels at 2x4s, but is also awesome on plywood, hardwood flooring, pegboard, dowels, molding and more. Comes with one 24T TCT blade, a parallel guide, vacuum adapter, and blade key.

Questions & Answers
Cannot get the laser to work
Hello Rick! Thank you for your question. We'd like to learn more about the specific issue that you are experiencing so that we can get your tool working properly. Please email us at rockwell@positecgroup.com to advise us of your specific issue and we'd be more than happy to help you. Thank you for choosing Rockwell!
Can it cut a 2x4?
Hello Terri, Based on its approximately 1-3/4" depth of cut, yes, you could do that. However, because of the load this would place on a relatively small motor, we would recommend either a table saw or full-size circular saw to do the job. Thank you for choosing Rockwell!
Where is this saw manufactured?
Hello there. Thank you for your question. Rockwell is manufactured by Positec, one of the international leaders in power tool manufacture based in Suzhou, China
What are the dimensions of the base? Does the body of the saw extend past the base on either side? If so, by how much?
Hi Scott! Thank you for your questions. The dimensions of the Rk3441k base is 7-5/16” length X 3-5/16” width and the body of the saw only extends about a ½” to the right side of the base. -DestyneeE
What model number is this saw? Mine did not come with instructions or user guide of any kind.
Hello acdoozie, the Rockwell 4 -1/2 in. 5 Amp Compact Circular Saw is Model #RK3441K.- HeavenJ
does the saw have a carrying case
Hello Vinny. The Compact Circular saw comes with one 24T TCT blade, a parallel guide, vacuum adapter, and blade key. A carrying case is not included. -DestyneeE
There are 2 different saws displayed in the photos. Which is the correct one?
Hello Valued Customer! Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will work with Home Depot to remove the picture or update it to say it's not included vacuum is not included. We do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Should you have any additional questions or concerns, don't hesitate to contact our Solution Center Team at 866-514-7625. Monday through Friday from 9 am until 6 pm EST and on Saturday from 9 am until 3 pm EST. We'd be more than happy to assist you. Thank you for choosing Rockwell! -DestyneeE
Both are correct
The first picture is correct-no vacuum attachment. The video also shows correct saw.
If I added a diamond blade, would this be able to cut out a square piece of asphalt so I can patch?
Hello Mighty. I do not recommend using the Rockwell brand diamond blade for this task. The diamond blade works best on ceramic, stone tile, backer board, and cement. However, you can use another brand of the diamond blade with a hard bond and the same arbor size. --DestyneeE
Me, I wouldn’t use it, you would probably damage it. Take a look at HD’s On Line Listing for this Saw, under Specs...down and adjacent you will see the pdf for The a owner’s Manual. You can read it to better understand it. There is also the # for the Company, you might call them if in doubt.
