If you want the best portable help and feel fully covered in your woodworking life , the circular saw is the power tool , you’ll love . The only thing it requires from you is to be 100% serious concerning your safety and your surroundings and some electric power .
See the complete post and some “secrets” , for the circular saw in HERE .
You already know my personal mentality when you want to buy a woodworking tool , any tool :
” Have some cheaper – medium price ones , but have some “heavy guns” to last a lifetime and be connected to them . ”
So let’s see some “lighter” and some “heavy guns” , circular saws :
The Genesis 4.0 Amp 4-1/2″ Compact Circular Saw .
This electricity corded and a 4 – 1/2″ circular saw is maybe under the 50$ (!) , but it has serious capabilities and it’s very light and easy to use with one hand (very cool ) , by anyone .
It has a 3500RPM motor and you can make your beveled cuts , your crosscuts and whatever , very easy and comfortable . It gives a very nice hand feeling .
Make your purchase from Amazon in here .
It’s very easy to adjust the depth and the bevel cuts and its lightweight( 5pounds ) is a big advantage for many people who cannot or don’t want a “heavy beast” to do the small jobs .
Yes, the 7 – 1/4″ saws are good , but for small spaces and stuff , you’ll have issues which this small saw will solve easily and handy . You can adapt your vacuum on it and don’t make a mess .
Easiness , fast cuts to smaller spaces and not only , enough power and reliability is the “name of the game” in here and this Genesis makes the “mission accomplished” stunningly very good .
The Makita Lithium-Ion (36V) Brushless Cordless 7-1/4” Circular Saw .
Makita for sure is a “big guns” in the tools area and of course this 7-1/4″ cordless circular saw isn’t an exception . It’s moved by 2 lithium batteries( longer run time per charge-610 cuts ) in order to speed up to 6.000RM for top performance .

Speed cutting and torgue are automatically adjusted for maximum efficiency and does all that having low heat . This means longevity .
It’s very easy to work with , you’ll love the cordless situation( for slightly less than a 100$ ) and as for the general quality , Makita is one of the best companies outhere . This is the incarnation of “value for money” situation .
The DEWALT 7-1/4-Inch Lightweight Circular Saw with Electric Brake .
In the same very popular and handy area of the 7-1/4″ circular saws , this Dewalt with the carbide – tipped blade , is a saw i should mention to you . It has a 57o bevel capacity , of course it’s cordless and it’s a very professonal buy .
Make your price check( a little above the 100$ ) and buy it from Amazon here .
Accurate measurements , lightweight enough and of course the electtric brake feature ,will “steal” your “woodworking heart” . Dewalt is Dewalt and when you grab the first in your hands , you won’t forget the feeling till the end of days .
Disadvantages : What ?
Use it a little , be comfy with it and the rest will be history .
** If you want the same features (7-1/4″ ) , reliability and the Dewalt quality in less money( around the 150$ ) and you don’t care if your circular saw has a cord , this Dewalt choice is very “wise” .

The Makita Magnesium 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Electric Brake .
This is the most expensive( around to 300$ ) circular saw suggestion from me , but for sure it worths every penny . Powerful motor of 15AMP and almost 6000RPM , are guarantee for the toughest woodworking missions , you’ll ask from it .
Go to Amazon make your checks and buy it , HERE .
Except its well known features , as the cordless use , the power and smooth cuttings , the lightweight construction , the easy adjustments for sure the electric brake and the general Makita quality , its major advantage for me is this :
It has magnesium inside components , which means , BIG resistance to heat , “fatigue” from continuous hardwood cuttings and a general heavy – duty construction , which i like very much .
It’s a first class example of what i’ve said to you above : ” to be connected with , till the end of time . ”
