THE LASER DOESN'T DO THE ACTUAL CUTTING. YET.

It's only a matter of time before somebody comes out with a laser cutting tool for do-it-yourselfers. Until then, there's the Craftsman® Circular Saw with LaserTrac™ Technology.

And because the Good life. Great price. laser guide aligns directly with the blade, it's always accurate and never needs to be recalibrated—even when you're cutting bevels of up to 54.5 degrees.

accuracy without the table. Now, some of you are probably thinking this is nothing more than a toy. You'd be well-advised to think again. It boasts a 14-amp, 2 1/3 horsepower motor that turns

a 7 1/4" blade at 5000 rpm, making it one very serious do-it-yourself tool.
