SKIL PWR CORE 20 CR6413B-11 Compact Circular Saw Kit

Overview

Built on SKIL's 20 volt battery platform, the CR6413B-11 pairs a carbide-tipped blade with a 6.5 inch cutting capacity for framing lumber, plywood and general trim work.

At 8 pounds it sits on the lighter end of circular saws, which matters most for overhead or one-handed cuts. The 5500 RPM motor speed and carbide blade point toward clean cuts in softwood and sheet goods rather than heavy ripping of thick hardwood. Battery and charger inclusion is not confirmed here, so check the listing before assuming one ships in the box.

• 20 volt battery powered motor
• 5500 RPM blade speed
• 6.5 inch cutting capacity
• Carbide-tipped blade

Who it's for

Suits homeowners and light-duty tradespeople doing deck boards, plywood sheets and framing cuts who want to skip a cord. Less suited to anyone ripping thick hardwood stock all day, where a higher-power corded saw holds up better.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 20 volt motor drives the carbide-tipped blade at up to 5500 RPM, a speed suited to fast, clean cuts through plywood and dimensional lumber. The 8 pound body keeps the saw balanced for one-handed and overhead work, though cordless runtime depends on the battery paired with it.
