Hi,
I've just had a thread about circular saw, and here I come again, sorry.
Well, I bought it like a week ago, and I've just made my first cuts today.
(Black and Decker CS1020)
I know it was going to be noisy, but not that much. But besides the amount of noise, it sounds... well, strange.... and before making an embarrassing visit to homedepot, I wanted to ask this here first.
First, I thought that without load, it was going to sounds like a router, a motor running high revolutions, well, not as much as a router, and basically the sounds of air being cut, but it's not.
When I pull the trigger, it sounds like rasping. Like starting with difficulty.
Then the sounds stabilize, and even during a cut it doesn't sounds a lot louder, or well, I just used some very soft wood for test.
Then, when it is slowing down (after the cut, unloaded), it is when the rarest sounds are produced.
Again it sounds like scraping, you'd bet the disk is making contact with the blade guard, but I reviewed that, and it's not.
Then, as it slows down more, now it is like the like in the last spinnings it has difficult to make a cycle, yes, unloaded.
If I wanted to describe, the sounds it makes are like:
- Like if the blade is unbalanced and is brushing a side (but it's not)
- Like it is a very old engine that run out of grease. (But this is new)
- Like if a ball bearings wheel lost one ball or is defective. (I can't tell)
Also note, that with and without the blade it makes these sounds, however, with the blade on, all the sounds increase, specially the one related to an unbalanced blade.
Well, while I was writing this, I was also watching some youtube videos, and luckly I found a guy whose circular saw, sounds pretty much like mine, thought, it looks like a totally different brand.

But that's the only place where I've heard a circular saw sounds like mine does... so I'm clueless... ;(
