4 Great Circular Saws

Circular saws use round blades with evenly spaced teeth or abrasive discs to make fast cuts in sheet materials such as plywood, timber, MDF and sheet metal.

You can find accessories and blades for your saw that will let you cut sheet goods, framing lumber, metal, roofing, masonry, and more.

Circular saws will assist you in making cross cuts and rip cuts as well as bevels, they’re a versatile tool that can be used with a wide range of blades to tackle different tasks and materials.

Corded models are typically more powerful, but cordless saws can be invaluable allowing you to work on sites without power and have the added benefit of reducing the number of cables around and keeping your workspace safe and tidy.

This thing is an animal. Ripping 18mm hardwood ply was simple. Saw just blew through it with no hesitation. Expensive, but worth it. Great battery life, electric brake is nice and it’s not nearly as loud as I was expecting.

Love, love, love this saw and have been waiting on it for a quite a while. It performs wonderfully. It's plenty powerful enough for what I do and the battery lasts a long time. The thing runs like a Cadillac and it's great how it works with the ts55 track. This saw can do almost everything and I'm very satisfied with my purchase!

Really pleased with this saw. Needed a small, light saw to use on a building project and this does the job well. Not heavy, well balanced and the battery life seems good so far. Not having a cord trailing under my feet was a blessing and a lot safer. I've always bought Makita drills - the first one is over 20 years old and going strong - so had no doubts about choosing their brand again.
