Whether you are a professional carpenter or a hobbyist, a circular saw is an essential tool that can help you achieve your desired results efficiently. Blain’s Farm & Fleet carries quality power saws from DEWALT, Milwaukee, FESTOOL, and other trusted brands. The Makita’s combines light weight, robust cutting power, and outstanding industrial design—ideal if you need a lot of cordless muscle, but don’t want to compromise accuracy or stability. Everything about this saw is comfortable and easy to handle, from the well-shaped trigger to the push lever of the spindle lock.
Using the 20V MAX 8Ah battery, the DCS574 Circular Saw will output up to 54% more power and get 60% more runtime than the standard XR Circular Saw DCS570P1. Power your tools with an array of battery options to maximize performance. Reduce your downtime with FLEXVOLT Batteries that power 20V MAX tools longer or lighten the workload with POWERSTACK batteries. 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.

To fine-tune the shoe’s position, simply hold it with one hand while pressing down on the latch. And the amount of blade exposure below the shoe is right where you need it. Aside from the saw, you need a couple of carpenter’s dewalt tool pencils and a combination square to both mark the lumber and guide the saw for accurate crosscuts. For corded circular saws, you also need a heavy-duty, 15-amp extension cord, safety glasses, and some ear protection.
If the saw moved off the square (and the cutline), we knew something was amiss. The most common cause is a saw motor and body that makes a slightly sloppy fit with the shoe on which it rides. Read on for quick info on the best circular saws from our testing, then scroll down for buying advice and in-depth reviews of these and other models. I tried it on cutting scabs for shimming out receptacles using 2×4’s and this little saw ripped through them with no issues.
I used a 2ah 20v lithium-ion battery to cut with, and found it ripped through the material just fine. I put in a 60v FlexVolt battery and got 6ah of 20v battery power out of it as well, which I was able to cut with for the entire day.

One of the really cool features of this saw is the built in LED at the front of the saw. This is the first circular saw I’ve ever used to have a light built into it to illuminate your cut line. This is really helpful in low light situations or just to improve overall visibility during your cut. The LED light automatically illuminates when the saw is engaged so there are no added steps involved.
Our favorites below range from budget-friendly models, to pro-duty tools that a contractor could use to frame a house. I like that there’s a hanging-hook on the base of the handle, so you can hang it from a ladder or a tool belt temporarily between cuts. You wouldn’t carry this around on your belt all day, but since you can use it with one hand it’s helpful to be able to hang it and keep it near by wherever you are. Get more power with the DeWalt 20V Max brushless tools with FlexVolt Advantage tool technology. The 7-1/4″ circular saw has up to 77% more power when paired with a DCB606 FlexVolt battery vs a DCB205 20V Max battery. Battery and charger are sold separately.
