Not of much use these days as proper circular saws are so cheap. Probably not very safe to use either.

as advance says,black and decker used(many moons ago)to have various attachments that went onto a drill.

I have got one the same as yours it dates from the 50s and you put a drill on it to power the saw.
guess it was an early circular saw.
i am 47 this year and i can remember it from when i was a young age so thats how i can sort of age it for you

i have a blue bxd somewhere
the idea is you use the drill some attachments with the chuck others without
theres was a circular attachment a sheet sander attachment a jigsaw attachment

i have in front off me now a 5" woden "quiksaw" in the origional box with what looks like all the rails and guids and blade gaurd in good condition after probably 50 years its a shame the paint is flaking big time as i am shure a museum somewhere could make use off it lol
