Tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) blades are also something to consider. These are ideal for all types of material and are generally hard-wearing, making them ideal for permanent attachment to your circular saw.

Slide the baseplate up or down to the desired depth of cut, aligning the depth scale markings if available.

This is a huge factor to focus on when choosing any type of cordless power tool. However, as you want to ensure reliable cutting performance, a high-performance battery is even more important. The brushless saw motor means you can enjoy longer battery runtime than other saw models, with the motor also benefiting from a longer lifespan. The cordless design also makes it a practical saw option for people who need more flexibility when carrying out trimming and cutting work.

DeWalt are well known for their saws. And I’ll say it right now, the DeWalt DCS391 Circular Saw is one of the best battery powered circular saws I’ve ever laid hands on. It’s just so easy to use and a joy to handle. It makes crosscuts through soft and hard woods without complaining, and even beats the excellent Makita DHS680Z when it comes to rip cuts.

I’ve got a love/hate relationship going with the bevel adjustment on this saw. I’m a huge fan of the fact that it marks out each degree from 0 – 50°. That’s brilliant for when you need to make an odd bevel cut. It’s Budget: Set a budget range and choose a circular saw that offers the best balance of features and performance within that range. CutControl is an incredibly simple but rather clever way to make sure you’re staying on the cutline. Instead of relying on a single notch, you can line up the notch and two arrows for a much more accurate view. Using this system to follow a pencil line is so much easier than on any of the other circular saws I’ve tried. Any good circular saw should be able to deliver impressive cutting capacity. When choosing a suitable model, determine the maximum cutting depth to see if it will cope with the kind of cutting tasks you have in mind.

DeWalt have gone down the premium route when it comes to the baseplate. It’s made from cast magnesium, which is light as well as incredibly tough. Magnesium shoes are usually the most expensive option on a circular saw, as it’s lighter than steel and more durable than aluminium. US tool brand DeWalt are nearing their 100 th birthday, and in that time, they’ve done a lot for the professional and DIY tool market. Inventing the radial arm saw is just one of their proud achievements, and their range of powerful XR battery powered tools are some of the best on the market. Power source: Decide whether you prefer a corded or cordless model based on your project requirements and mobility needs.

Not Right? Try One Of These Instead

This is another major factor that should help you determine whether or not a particular circular saw model is right for you. Saws with brushless motors tend to produce faster rotational speeds and faster cutting performance. Compared with the other circular saws on my list, the PKS 55 has a small diameter blade. I noticed this quite a lot when making cross cuts as it was the saw that wanted to wander the most. The bigger the blade is, the straighter the cut. The maximum cut depth at 0° is just 55 mm, which is something the bear in mind if you want to cut things like fence posts. Carbide blades will provide you with smoother, more precise cuts. If you plan on cutting through hardwood, softwood and chipboard materials, carbide blades are a good choice. You will also find different degrees of hardness when choosing between carbide blades. The higher the number attached to a carbide blade, the more effective it will be at cutting through materials with a higher amount of resistance.
