BLACK+DECKER MATRIX Trim Saw Attachment with 3-3/8 Inch Carbide Blade 24T (BDCMTTS)

Bught this saw for a single siding project that was done using ladders and an aluminum plank. I installed approximately 450 sf of cedar singles on three gabbel areas on my house. Teh work area was varied from 11 to 17 ft above the ground. Since I was working using two ladders and an expandable aluminum plank, I needed to cut various shingles to match the roof gabel. It took about 600 custome cut shingles at a 30 degree angle to match the roof. Each cut was somewhat different. At $450 per square for shingles, I didn't want to make any mistakes and waste a shingle.I have numerious battery powered saws but all were large and heavy used primarily for stud lumber framing. I needed a single handed small lightweight battery powdered saw that would quickly cut 1/4" shingles safely. I bought and returned a Ryobi and DeWalt 4" saws becuase I had the batteries.I finally stumbled accross the Black & Decker mini saw attachment. Well I bought it and the requiured Matrix drill and battery. The total coast was less than $100 for all the items I needed. The saw worked better than I expectted except for one feature. When using the saw, I found I needed to use my trigger finger for the on/off trigger and my middle finger for the saw's safety switch. It didn't take me long to develope the muscle memory to first push the saftey switch with my middle finger align the saw then pull the power trigger. I was hoping that Once I attivated the saw, I could release the safety switch but unfortunately it didn't work that way for me. The whole saw system was so light and manueverable that I could stand on the ladder, draw the cut line then make the cut standing on the ladder. I felt vary safe, never loosing my balance and making accurate cuts. While that may not sound like much but I'm almost 78 years old with back and balance issues.Two interesting facts have bee of interest. First, removing the drill attachment was actually very difficult becuase it seemed to be "stuck " to the power pistol grip. It took a few friendly wacks on the drill side to "bust it loose". The saw attached easil;y. Seondly, the directions to install the blade is buried in the user manual in a small portion of a page. It doesn't state but the blade set screw is LEFT HAND thread not right hand thread.Once you discover that fact, blade installation and removeal is easy. Be sure to snug the screw up so the blade is attached soilidly to the drive plate.In summary, I'd buy the attachment again. It was the first Black & Decker tool I have bought in over 30 years. It works well and is holding to my useage.

This is so handy! I wish I had ordered it years ago. Keep in mind this is NOT a full size circular saw, so it won’t cut 2x4s and such but trim pieces, no problem.I’ve always LOVED the Matrix system and this is the cherry on the top! Great craft saw. Cuts through 4 ply cardboard like butter. I will never fight with a utility knife again. Very precise. It’s stout, metal. Not flimsy.I even bought my daughter a Matrix system that she uses often.It’s pricey but worth it.

Excelente!!

This saw cuts very nicely in the 1x softwood lumber I made a lot of cuts in to try it out. My main complaint is that it is listed to cut one inch and with the supplied blade it cuts 13/16". Could be a great tool for someone who does a lot of trim work. I use deck boards and was counting on it cutting through a 1" thick deck board. It did manage a 2x4 by cutting through from both sides. No problem at all with the cutting on the 2x4. It is a fixed depth and some adjustment would have been a nice feature. Variable speed supplied by the base unit is a good thing in a small circular saw. Easy to hold on the cut attached to the base unit but the reach to the engagement switch is a bit long. I managed it with my index finger holding it and the next two fingers pulling the trigger. For what it is intended, it is almost just right. I ultimately returned it for a prompt refund and am considering the impact driver attachment. The corded drill/driver and base unit works great and I am very happy with that purchase along with the B&D discount. It is worth a look but know what you are getting before buying.

Don't let it's size deter you -- this is a sturdy little piece of machinery. If you are using either the Black & Decker Matrix drills or, apparently the Sears version, this little guy will rock your world. Over the two years or so since I first got this attachment, I've cut countertops, wood, plastic, metal... and it hasn't blinked yet. Still even using the original blades even. It is just so easy to use and manoeuvre. I've even cut pieces of wood thicker than the saw allowance by marking it and then flipping the piece over and it's done a good job. The best part is that you can attach it to the B&D cordless Matrix drill and walk off anywhere without any fuss, or dragging out heavy cords or tools, and get quite a variety of jobs done. Obviously you have to take into consideration the requirements of the job at hand, because of course, it's not infallible and has it's limits, but I've been surprised by just how many times (and where) I've used this tool. Love it!BLACK+DECKER BDCMTTS Matrix Trim Saw Attachment

This Trim Saw attachment is a handy addition to the Black & Decker Matrix system. Works as good as any other trim saw except in tight places. The motor drive and btty can be a hindrance if your in a tight spot, otherwise it's as good and strait as the blade that's in it and the person using it. Matrix 20v motor drives all the attachments well and the 20v btty is fairly strong for what it is. Perfect for those handy little jobs when you don't need a full sized 7.5" circular saw. Fits in the corner of the case that the basic Black & Decker Matrix system comes in too! Nice to have the attachments in a case to carry and be basically organized in the same place!

This is a great trim saw for small projects, cutting trim and such. Remind you this is not your industrial saw, and wouldn't recommend it for heavy cutting of wood. In my case, I am a craft and DYI person, and it works very well with light work, I have trimmed 1/2 inch plywood, craft board, and 1-inch board without any problems although I did have a slight problem cutting through thicker boards. Overall, this is a great saw if you're just cutting a few lightweight boards and the convenience as being part of the matrix line makes it worthwhile for small jobs.

I finally got to use this recently to cut down some small boards that were parts of a night stand I wanted to discard in the trash. After breaking down the night stand I started cutting the pieces of wood into smaller pieces. I cut through the wood quickly and easily it did not bind at any time and is definitely not as loud as a full size circular saw. As a part of the Black and Decker Matrix line it was easy to switch the tool and get started. It took less than 15 minutes from beginning to end and only thing was the saw blade was not tightened correctly, I should have checked before starting. For small cutting jobs this is fantastic fast to deploy and put away.

脇にあるスライド式のレバーと言うかロック解除スイッチと言うのか分かりませんがそれを人差し指で引きながらトリガーを引く作業が一寸慣れが必要なのかな？それでも、コンパックとなので便利に使用できました。合板もきれいに切れましたよ！アクリルも切りましたが良く切れます。
