It has a higher set handle and a right-mounted blade.Oil must be added to the saw for lubrication.Because the blade sits on the left side and the bulk of the weight is on the right, this is a popular cutting choice for right-handed users.It usually has more power and weight than its counterpart.It has a short height and a long length because the handle sits behind the left-mounted blade.The two most common types of circular saws are the worm drive saw and the sidewinder saw. Consider these points before buying a saw. While cordless power saws are available, the corded circular saw is the most common type for home use and difficult jobs. The electric circular saw is one of the most popular go-to power tools in the home and on the construction site.

Result: The DeWalt FlexVolt Advantage (DCS573) with the FlexVolt battery is the clear and definite winner of this test.New, Used & Certified Refurbished Circular Saws The Metabo HPT made it 34-7/8 inches and the Milwaukee 31-1/8 inches. With that said the DeWalt with the FlexVolt battery was able to make it the entire 96” length of the post, while with the 20-volt battery it made it 40-3/4 inches. The added fact that all three saws have a motor brake allows them to come to an almost immediate stop without kick back. All three of the saws, when pushed to their absolute limit were stopped safely and quickly by their built-in safety features.

The overload protection on each of the motors kicked in and stopped the saw from being overworked to the point of damages. In this test each saw performed as expected and as designed. A 7-1/4” circular saw wouldn’t be the go-to tool for someone needing to rip down such large dimensional lumber (especially pressure-treated), however I wanted to test to see how well the saws would perform under an excessive load, as well as how their onboard safety’s would react to the saw being overworked. This test was performed intentionally to overwork the saws. Result: The 3/4” Plywood cut test goes to the DeWalt FlexVolt Advantage (DCS573) even if you run a standard battery. When switching the DeWalt to the FlexVolt battery, it’s time decreased to only 6 seconds per cut. Following in a close 2nd place the Metabo HPT cam in with an average of 10-seconds and in third was the Milwaukee at 11.5-seconds. The DeWalt with the 20-volt battery averaged 9-seconds. The Metabo HPT ran through the material with ease, and the Milwaukee was up to the task as well although it did sound a bit more taxed by the cut than the other two saws. The DeWalt, when used with either battery, but especially with the FlexVolt, plowed through the material without much audible load on the motor. Each of the three saws handled the load of the 8-foot plywood cut well. 3/4” plywood is widely used in the construction industry and it should be expected that the saw you purchase can handle the task of making cuts through plywood easily and with accuracy.
CIRCULAR SAW PROFESSIONAL
This test replicates a task that the majority of professional users will perform daily. I kept my hand on the saws during the cuts primarily to hold the trigger but also to guide the saws, I did not push the saws at any time.Īverage of Times - Each of the tests using the weight to pull the saws are performed three times with each saw, and an average of the three test times is used as that saws final time. Each saw will be assigned a blade, they will use that blade to perform an equal number of cuts throughout the entire test in order to keep that variable constant.įorce (Human push) - While not visible in the pictures and videos, in all the tests (with the exception of the 1-minute 2圆 cross-cutting) the saws were attached to a 10-pound weight via pulleys which pulled the saws through their cuts. Plywood (pulled by 10-pound weight)Ģ) 5/4 in Decking Boards (6 ft wide crosscut) (pulled by 10-pound weight)Ĥ) 4圆 rip cut – overload test (pulled by 10-pound weight)īlade - Spyder Tools provided us with multiple 24-tooth framing blades, to eliminate blade differences as a factor in the testing.
