Our verdict

A light, one-hand circular saw for DIYers cutting stock lumber and sheet goods around the house. It takes only small-arbor blades, and the listing gives conflicting depth and speed figures.

Overview

Cutting stock lumber with one hand is what this compact Worx saw is made for, spinning a small blade on a narrow arbor so the brushless motor can turn it fast. The blade is on the left so the cut line stays in view.

Light weight and one-hand control make quick rip, plunge and crosscuts easy for anyone who finds a full-size saw heavy. Blade choice is limited to the small arbor size, and some specs conflict between sections.

Who it's for

Homeowners and hobbyists who own Worx Power Share batteries and want a saw that is easy to lift and control. Framers ripping thick stock all day need a full-size saw.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Light and easy to handle
  • Left blade shows the cut line
  • Dust port for a shop vac
  • Spindle lock for blade changes
Cons
  • Only small-arbor blades fit
  • Battery and charger sold separately
  • Depth and speed figures conflict

Performance notes

Speed at the blade comes from the small arbor and blade letting the brushless motor spin faster, which helps the small saw cut cleanly. Depth is limited by the blade size, so thick stock beyond dimensional lumber is out of reach.
