Collection: Circular Saws

A circular saw is mainly used for straight cuts through wood, timber, sheet boards (like OSB and ply), and, with the right blade, even plastics or light metal. It’s the go-to tool for quick, accurate cuts on site or in a workshop. Whether it’s a Makita circular saw or a DeWalt circular saw, they all serve the same purpose - fast, controlled cutting.

The “best” circular saw depends on your brand preference, battery system, and how tough the job is.

• Choose Makita circular saws if you want smooth cutting, great build quality, and advanced brushless motors - especially their 40V XGT range for heavy-duty work.
  
• 
  Choose DeWalt circular saws if you want strong torque, rugged build, and excellent value in the 18V XR lineup.
  

For everyday tasks, an 18V brushless model is perfect. For site work or deeper cuts, a 40V/54V option gives more power.

To cut a 4×4 in one pass, you generally need a circular saw with a 10-inch blade or bigger - which most cordless saws don’t have.

Most Makita circular saw and DeWalt circular saw models in the 18V or 40V range will cut a 4×4 with two passes instead (cut one side, flip, and cut the other).

Yes - 18V is more than enough for general timber cutting, decking, sheet materials, and everyday trade work.

If you need extra torque for constant deep cuts, demolition work, or thick hardwood, upgrading to a 40V Makita XGT model or a high-output DeWalt FlexVolt option gives you more power and longer runtime.
