Compare REVIEWS: Twist-A-Saw vs Dremel

Dremel Saw-Max Reviews

Frustrating to use – Keith who bought Dremel Saw-Max complained in his review that he bought it to cut out pieces of the subfloor. However to get consistent results you need to change the blade frequently. It’s frustrating and very slow to use, which is why he busted out the circular saw for most of the cutting. He liked the flush cutting feature though it’s very slow. He suggests getting a mini-circular saw in case you mostly want to cut wood.

Has limitations – Roger who reviewed Dremel Saw-Max revealed in his review that for a circular saw you get a lot of speed here and it is more portable than his heavier circular saw. But he prefers his older saw for heavy duty cutting because it gives more depth. He used Dremel Saw-Max on his old broken down hollow core door by slicing it up into small pieces for the trash barrel. However it has limitations due to the fact that it is hardly any torque, which means no turns or it slows down and stops. After extended use the handle gets too hot to hold, which is annoying.

Accessories missing – Angus who used Dremel Saw-Max revealed in his review that it is a handy tool that works with different types of materials. He liked the size and weight of the saw that make it easy to use. It fits in your hand and lets you cut with confidence. The corded saw runs on 110 V and its 6ft cord length ensures that it is perfect for different home projects. He is also happy with the fact that the tool seems sturdy and comes with a 2 year warranty. He used it to cut drywall and it worked well but left a lot of dust behind. He thinks a drywall or manual jab saw would have done a cleaner job. Cross grain cuts on SYP floor boards were a challenge, and he thinks you would have to stick to lightweight materials and thin metals. He was however annoyed that it came without a storage case and just two wheels – for metal and wood / plastic. On the site it shows pictures of wheels for tiles and multipurpose too. He thinks they could have been missing because he got it through Seeds program and there were no other accessories either.
