With the 6.0Ah FLEXVOLT Battery installed, the tool weighs in at over 10 lbs (a full pound heavier than my Milwaukee FUEL Circular Saw with a 9Ah battery installed). While some might view this as an overall detraction, I actually think it gives the tool a more stable feel. The tool feels well balanced and less susceptible to subtle wrist movements that can affect the quality of a straight cut. It feels stable in one hand or extremely secure using both hands with the forward grip. That means you have longer battery life on smaller tools when you need it AND more power on larger tools when you need that and it’s as easy as swapping the battery from one tool to the next.

Until the Festool ATF came along, the DW364 was our primary cabinetmaking circular saw. Partically because of its slightly larger more stable base and its adjustability. With my panel guides, I cut from the right side so the left/right orientation is not a big deal. However, the Festool ATF beats both saws with its dust collection, guide system, ergonomics, light weight and balance, and finer cut. Yes, the Craftsman’s motor is a bit smaller than the Skil in terms of its amperage, but the cutting performance between the two tools is negligible.
Cordless Circular Saw is ready to take on a variety of cutting applications. It features a powerful brushless motor that delivers 4,950 rpm for fast, accurate, and consistent cutting. Tool-free depth and bevel adjustments provide a max depth of cut of 2-1/8 in. This saw is equipped with a built-in rafter hook, bright LED, and optional dust chute. Includes circular saw, (1) 5.0 Ah POWERSTACK battery, 6-amp charger, and tool bag.
Contractor-grade saws can have the blade on the left or the right of the motor. Corded models have motors that draw as much current as 15 amps. The saw rides on a larger, more damage-resistant shoe and is equipped with a big, tough trigger switch, larger and tougher bearings, and a thick but highly flexible cord. These features promote durability but increase the saw’s weight. The average homeowner-duty saw (with a motor drawing 12 amps) weighs 8 to 9 pounds. Contractor saws start at 10.5 pounds and go up from there.
We take extensive measures to ensure all our products are made to the very highest standards and meet all relevant industry regulations. We’re confident of the quality of our products, and we’ll repair, without charge, any defects due to faulty materials or workmanship within the dewalt drill specified warranty. Yes, in the sense that its massive motor and equally sturdy gear assembly provide it power to spare–more than enough for house carpentry. On the other hand, all that motor and gear assembly creates a lot of outboard weight and bulk to the right of the blade.
In that respect, it’s very much like a corded worm-gear saw. So if you’re already framing with a corded worm-gear saw and have a well developed right forearm, the Milwaukee is a good fit dewalt tool for you. Our 4 x 6 pressure-treated lumber was no match for it, barely putting a dent in its battery capacity. We didn’t pamper it, cutting Douglas fir framing lumber and red oak.
For greater speed and faster cuts, turn to this powerful Skil 13-amp corded circular saw for heavy-duty tasks. The motor delivers 5,300-RPM, while the 51° bevel capacity with a positive stop at 45° allows for a wide range of angled cuts with a carbide-tipped blade. Zip through straight lines with the two-point line of sight, while an improved dust blower increases your visibility while cutting.
All locations outside the Continental US will receive discounted shipping, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us. It’s going to replace my full-size circ saw in my truck, since I don’t have a true need for something that large on electrical jobs. It’s definitely powerful enough for me to use on any job I currently need it for, and the compact size makes it a plus for stowing in my work truck.
