I have the smaller versacut version, and used it to make my kids bed. It was an awesome tool for what I was using it for... Cutting 3/4" plywood.

If your primary purpose is cutting 2x4s I can't comment on how the slightly bigger version will perform but if it was me I would be reaching for a real circular saw. Right tool for the job and all that, no doubt the mini circ will cut through a 2x4, but how will it work if you cut 10, one right after the other.

This is a good opportunity to buy 2 saws
