This is a quality light weight saw, It removes a very narrow kerf allowing accurate cuts, as I already have Dewalt xr tools I bought the bare saw as all my batteries were compatible. I am very satisfied with this buy
Feels great in the hand cuts accurately to your Mark’s so get them right!
Easy to use use even as someone new to woodworking! Cuts neat lines with little effort!
Had this three years now, a great piece of kit still going string. It has short runs of intense work including cutting 1 inch thick American oak. One of the most useful tools that I own. Cutting PVC shower panels today with straight edges and no chipping including one 4mm by 2000mm cut.
Really nice bit of kit from a brand you can trust. No issues so fa
Iv’e just finished fitting flat pack wardrobes to our bedroom, a LOT of modifications needed and this saw paid for itself, nice clean cuts and quite easy to use. Brought the saw without batterys because I already had two with another DeWalt tool. Battery life was quite good but you need two batterys if your doing a lot of cutting, real easy to change battery, 15 seconds and off you go again.
Great and light weight easy to use my only complaint I was cutting chipboard flooring did about 8-10 cuts and it started jamming not sure what’s causing the problem.
after reading some of the reviews I nearly didn’t purchase this product, it comes without batteries as stated, it suggests 4 or 5 amp batteries I have a de-walt hand drill, medium size only 3 amp batteries, as I was only buying it for a couple of projects I hand in mind, shelves etc, I was hoping they would do, to save additional cost, they fit fine,
I made several cuts through treated soft wood, the wood was 2” thick, and 4x cuts 10 feet long, no problem, I was amazed, great bit of kit, It only comes in a plastic bag, so if you are buying it for a gift, its a bit basic, but when the recipient uses it they won’t care !
Cuts great, easy to use.
one improvement that could be made is to locate the dust extraction port in a better place, it’s not that effective.
Well, it is a very good saw, accurate and smooth and it is more than powerfull enough for DIY
The only down side I found is the vacuum cleaner attachment is not usefull at all, it is too small for standard size hose and it doesn’t do much even if you manage to connect it. So if you are not worried about dust it is perfect for you
This blew my evolution circular saw out of the water.
It is easy to hold, excellent accuracy, and the blade being on the left (i’m right handed) is so much better as i get a better view of the cut. Requires a 5Ah battery for any longevity. Up there as one of my favourite tools.
One of the best bits of kit I’ve ever bough
Cut through 60mm solid Oak bench work tops with ease and efficiency.
Really impressed with the speed at which it cut, I thought it was going to struggle but it handled the long cuts with relative ease.
Great product for all round work,light and easy to use and a 3 year guarantee. Very quick delivery excellent price
This is a great wee ripsaw. Really accurate and easy to use. I would highly recommend you use only 4AH batteries or bigger. The saw will run down the battery quickly if you’re crosscutting but otherwise a good product. Love i
I love the freedom of no more extension leads. Dewalt cordless tools are perfect for me a self employed builder.you ca
Brilliant tool. Accurate and nice thin blade for effortless cuts. Ended up using more than the mitre saw for quick angled cross cuts. The only slight negative is that it uses a lot of battery power so you do want higher ah batteries as you will find the small capacity batteries won’t last long at all, but fit a 4ah or 5ah and it’s brilliant.
The saw is well made but I have to say it could do with a bit more power. It jams sometimes when cutting thick wood > 50mm – apart from that I’m very happy with it.
Love this, really good quality and very easy to use – would highly recommend
I have big old heavy saws that produce so much sawdust. Difficult to use and the cable is always in the way.
This cuts so much faster unbelievable. If you have to cut wood this is what you need. I already have the drill and battery with charger so this was a great add on.
I cannot believe how good it is.
Da
Nice little saw, but get a 4-5amp battery to run this for long periods
Lightweight and powerful circular saw. Recommend a 5amp battery or higher as machine draws a lot of power.
Not used it much yet but so far it seems like a good saw
I am very keen DIYer, I have a corded circular saw which I use a lot but I thought I would give the cordless a try. I am so pleased that I did, the Dewalt saw is fantasic! vert easy to use very light great cut both cross and rip. I would recommend this saw I also got the 5amp hour battery for the saw. Like I said great saw would recommend.
Picked this particular brushed saw for two reasons. One, I already have other dewalt 18v gear and trust the brand, and two, I only need it for DIY and odd jobs, therefore couldnt jusify the higher price of the brushless version.
The saw is definitely a good piece of kit. As can be seen in my pictures, it has:
– a dust extraction port.
– tilt and depth adjustment.
– grub screw for adjusting zero on the tilt angle.
– adjustable cutting guide
– storage for blade removal Allen key
– easily accessible brushes
I have had no issues with cutting ability or runtime, and can thoroughly recommend this product. However, I cannot make any comments on the longevity of the tool as I won’t be using it very often.
I was a bit unsure about its capabilities but it works like a dream. My first cut you would have thought I hadn’t put it on right and missed the wood if it wasn’t for the saw dust it just cut it like a knife through butter.
I didn’t use yet but I think it’s good just I tried and it is very powerful
Good piece of key although plastic guard has got caught a couple of times but this could be user erro
Absolutely superb piece of kit, BUT does consume battery quick, so think about a 4 or 5 amp battery.
Great item, very portable. Cuts really well and very easy to use/adjust.
First one that arrived was incorrect as it came with a 16 toothed blade and only accepted 16mm bore blades which are very rare. Amazon then sent replacement which is correct so overall I’m very happy with it despite the issue.
Oh yeah Top quality bit of kit as expected. I have been using with a 4Ah 18v and not had any problems. Like how easy it is to set the depth and bevel angle up.
This a light versatile saw great for cutting boards etc. Not the most powerful saw I’ve had but it is battery operated. Very pleased
Excellent machine, I also have the dewalt drill, impact driver and impact wrench.
My only criticism of this dewalt cordless saw is the spindle is 16mm, I ordered the dewalt cordless 40t framing blade only to find that its 20mm, so I have had to purchase a reducing kit! Also be aware of blade direction on all circular saws, some clockwise others anti-clockwise, all depending on wether the blade is on left or right of motor, if you buy the wrong one, just reverse it when fitting, this one is clockwise.
Don’t forget this machine has a left hand thread on blade bolt, so clockwise to loosen!
1st the Good
Great Bare Saw ( No Battery ) as expected
Great Price, A lot Cheaper than that Screwy in a Fix place ( but may be you get it in a Dewalt Yellow and Black box )
Not to heavy, but well balanced and weighted with a Battery fitted.

Bought from Amazon not a seller, so I expected it would be well packed. The saw came in a Normal thin Amazon Carton without any packing and the box could not contain the weight of the saw so the box was open at the taped flaps, but luckily the saw was undamaged and the booklet bag was inside okay.
Be aware that this saw does not come in a yellow and Black Dewalt box, it comes BARE NO BOX OR BATTERY, but you do get the blade.
I have a few Dewalt Tools and Register them on line to get a free 3 year guarantee if available.
Be aware that this saw or mine at least, did not have the serial number on the label, it should be in a Small P
panel quite different to the rest of the label black print. You can still regester it for the 3 years just be sure to have the Saw code DCS301 with the date purchased, sold by also the date code from the battery slot (get your specs for this as its made of melted dots in the plastic)
I bought a Dewalt DCB184 5.0AH as i only had 2 small drill batteries, and i had also just bought a BARE Jig saw from a screwy place that is in a bit of a fix as the price was best around and that came in the Dewalt Yellow and Black box.
BTW the 5AH Battery charges with my drill charger that i bought in 2014 but up to spec for the Lithium Batteries.
Sorry if i have gone on a bit, I hope it helps.

Cuts hardwood like it was balsa, Dewalt quality and great value.
Tried this out and as usual with DeWalt gear. can’t fault i
It’s Dewalt so quality and powerful enough for everyday DIY and not too heavy.
The guard moves easily unlike my other cheaper saw.
The dust extraction works well – not used the mitre yet though.
Only criticism is the lack of a laser – but I knew that when buying.
Great little saw, ideal for sheet material and general sawing. Recommend, I have been using this for some time now and I am still very happy with it. This is the first tool in and out of my tool kit now instead of the hand saw. It does have a slight lack of power and occasionally jams if you don’t support the work piece correctly or try to force the saw but Overall this is great, durable and a great time saver, cuts all day on a couple of five amp batteries.
Well balanced silent compact saw. Nice to be able to see the blade position before digging into the wood. The included blade make a nice clean cut. Nice peace of tool.
I love this saw. Lightweight and easy to use. Good safety features too. I bought this one for my sister who was coveting mine.
Brillant saw – up to the usual excellent DeWalt build quality and standard
great product, well and solidly built, not as much torque compared to a mains supplied saw, but for most jobs at home it is more than up to the task
Nice piece of kit, same battery as all my other De Walt gear, easy hot swap. Ty
My first circular saw, bought to help fitting a door. No regrets.It did a brilliant job and being cordless means no cable to cut or searching for a socket near to the work piece.
Great for boards upto 2cm will cut all day with a full 5amp or 4amp. With a smaller battery can feel power difference. For price it’s great. If you’re on dewalt setup but it. Ideal for fencing and decking.
(read until the end please as there are 3 important comments)
Right, as a chippy and like most tradesmen, I have my “preferred” brand of power tools… and its not Dewalt! BUT, this saw has just changed my mind! For various reasons I decided not to go with my usual Bosch Blue but after much research I plumped for the dewalt saw and am so glad I did.
I gave the battery it’s initial charge and over the past week used it. Numerous cuts through 9mm OSB, 22mm chipboard flooring and various offcuts of different sized timber. The battery today finally went down to two bars but decided to push it. Took it outside and made 3 cuts right across an old very wet 50mm worktop with oak edging. I then cut up (for firewood) two hardwood external door cills and several offcuts of oak and softwood T&G. The battery still had a “bit” of life left in it. It really is a truely fabulous bit of kit, just wished I’d bought one before.
I will say three things though that are important
1) if you wander off your line, it will struggle and kick back before getting back straight – it does not have the power of a mains one to force it back across.
2) It is a left had side blade, meaning it does throw bits at you
3) Be careful when cutting thin materials, I have found the blade guard needs to be held back sometimes manually (chippies will be familiar with this practise) or it does catch a bit.
But otherwise simply superb.
still not got the power of a plug in saw but this is the best one i’ve had so far, body only so NO batterys but i would recommend buy 2 batterys
Brilliant saw, used a lot for 12mm MDF. Does run even the biggest batteries down very quick though.
First class product first class service thank you very much
Powerful and ever so good to use. No trailing wires to fall over. Battery lasts for a long time. Recommended.
wonderful bit of kit, makes life so easy once you work out how to attach the blade..
WARNING – its not sold with a handbook, so you need to download it and then all becomes clear.. I actually think that’s a little dodgy as the handbook has lots of safety warnings etc.. but like I say, once you have it sorted its magic.
brilliant piece of kit , wish i had it years ago .
Very sturdy well built product. I’ve been using it with my 1.2Ah drill batteries and it works fine. I’ve ordered a 4Ah battery for it now so should do the job even better.
Just rebuilt my kitchen and needed a circular saw. I was concerned that being battery operated would mean it would not cope with Kitchen worktops etc. How wrong I was. This saw cut though everything I could throw at it and more. The real benefit is that as I have other Dewalt tools they all use the same XR battery system. So my multi tool battery works on the saw etc. Great produc
Didn’t no what to expect with this saw, first time i have owned one, read all the revues so I bought it for a job I was doing putting a new roof on my garage and for any future DIY,, Well to say Iam impressed is an understatement, it worked all day cutting 1/2 marine ply non stop, like a knife thru butter, its Brilliant! battery still showing 90% full, I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending it to any one who is in the market for a circular saw, Strong Brand /Terrific Product.
Brilliant does the job , very light and easy to use .
great price ease of handling simple adjustment like the fact it goes past 45 degrees compares well with corded circular saws
Incredible quality for the price. Brake kicks in strongly.
Plunge cuts are smooth as silk. Very easy to handle.
The aluminum foot plate is easy to set accurately & holds true.
Motor housing is tight on footplate & can stop me using box spirit level as guide when cutting full depth.
Blade provided gives top notch med-fine cut if U go slow, barely needed to sand afterwards.
Purchased spring 2016 for 110. Great tool.
Purchased recently this is an excellent saw, especially for cutting sheet materials.The power is no problem with the 5.0ah battery I also purchased.It will cut thick stock but has a limited depth of cut at 55mm. I use my larger corded de walt for thick materials.This saw is nice and lightweight to use and at first glance is decieving of the actual power it can give.Buy with confidence.
Cliche but I should have bought one of these years ago. Absolute perfect saw. Powerful strong and accurate cuts time and time again. If you was t a cordless saw that holds a charge. Buy this
Spot on! Accurate cutting. Excellent electronic brake. Quiet operation. I have 4 amp batteries and they have plenty of power for a normal days cutting. Overall thoroughly recommend.
Well speechless comes to mind as this amazing power saw is so great changing battery from torch to screwdriver to multitool to circular saw wow. Well recommended.
Great saw just what I needed would recommend
Fast delivery
Cracking little saw the 18V range from Dewalt has convinced me to go all cordless.
I bought this saw to cut material at the suppliers. Couldn’t believe how good it has been. Does brilliantly through 40mm laminate worktop and gives a perfect cut. I bought an extra 4ah battery for the the saw and is worth buying. Only bug bear is if your right handed, the blade is on your side. Make sure to wear full eye protection. Lightweight and a must for joiners!
Great saw even with the battery on it’s not to heavy.
Nice clean cut used to trim a doo
Feels a little plasticy and cheap but does the job perfectly and is very reliable
I have found myself doing an increasingly large amount of DIY of late and bought this little beauty to assist me installing a utility room. I used it for most of the cuts including the wooden worktops and it simply breezed through them. Since then, I have mostly used it for trimming doors to size, something else that it does really well. The unit has plenty of power, is well weighted and is intuitive to use. I also love the 18V XR battery system which strikes a prefect balance between power, duration, weight and size.
Excellent saw. Quiet, not too heavy and easy to use. 4.0ah battery’s last well. Comes bare with blade and instruction book/warranty.
What’s not to like.
Goes for ages on a 4 AH battery.
Not the lightest out there , but well made and effective.
Good price too
Good if you wanna cut stuff. Wouldn’t recommend if you don’t.
Bought this as I am going to have to lift my floor to reroute some heating pipes have used it to saw up some fascia wood etc and used a 2 Ah battery on it, works brilliantly with loads of power. Seems to have a clutch on it for when the blade grabs, which is a good feature. Tried cutting some up can but it was taking chunks out, I probably need a finer blade, will have to investigate what’s available but, what you need to know is this saw is reassuringly weighty to very well balanced and easy to use with one hand.
This is awesome. Gossamer thin blade, very sharp, quieter than the mains equivalent and easy to handle.
I wish I’d bought one of these years ago. Not having wires trailing around is convenient and safe, and I can use the same XR batteries from my other power tools. Didn’t think that a battery powered saw could be so powerful but it only starts to slow down on the toughest jobs. Even then just slowing down means that it copes heroically.
good for portable jobs. need good last long battery if use it long.
Very good product great saw as I have the batteries from my drill to use on this . The only reason for four stars instead of five is the poor packaging or lack of package. Just two big air bags in a box with the saw on top and nothing protecting the top of the saw. Other wise I’d give five stars.
About the best tool I have purchased in years. With the large 3AH battery it lasts much longer than I was expecting from a battery powered circular saw. Would thoroughly recommend as an addition to any carpenter or serious Diy’er toolki
Excellent piece of kit, bought it on a whim but it’s been very useful.
Nice, handy piece of kit. I wish I had registered it online in time for the free 3 year warranty. Doh!
Item received promptly in padded out box and as described
A must have for farm use. Good battery life. Loses one star for the blade it comes with and the stupid plastic blade guard – should be metal.
My husband is delighted with this product. He says It’s light weight , with a great grip. Worth every penny and highly recommended.
Brilliant little saw. Copes with 20mm Oak boards with ease. Light, accurate and very easy to freehand…
all day im using this toe was come whit naked bolt but i fix it 🙂
very pleased with this purchase . have used it and will make more good use of it i know. i do like dewalt.
I was a bit worried about the power of this saw as I have only had corded saws before. Although it is not as powerful it cuts quickly and with little effort. Spent all weekend cutting 18mm MDF and plywood as well as some 2×4’s and some 40mm worktop. I have 3Ah batteries on my drill which I am now also using on the saw, I got a good couple of hours cutting 18mm MDF out of a fully charged battery. A massive plus for me is the weight is low and the balance of the machine is perfect. Wish I had bought one of these years ago.
his is an awesomely good product from dewalt, buy it! bought it to replace my older 18v Dewalt Ni-Cd version and the difference is amazing
Great saw, the only complaint would be to have a work light on the tool apart from that its solid, cuts withough a struggle, the blade is easy to change with the on board Allan key, the fence has scribed measurements on it so you know where to set it, also for setting the depth of cut, there is inscribed measurements in the metal casing. The base is smooth and flat another thing which I dont think will work very good is the rest extraction, the port doesn’t go directly into the blade housing but into the base but I never use it anyway.
Good cut, great battery life and man enough for any job. I have used it to cut 18mm ply and the bottom section off some heavy garage doors.
well worth the money!
I have used this almost every day for the last 3 weeks, and it is still gliding through no problem at all
I bought this for my partner and he is over the moon with it!!! He’s a plasterer by trade and this saves him loads of time , he’s only had it a month so I don’t know yet about durability but it’s one of his favourite tools
Excellent saw, powerful, strong, easy to use, set up and change blades. I’ve used it to cut all sorts of wood no problems and not to heavy either so you can use it for more than 15minutes without needing new arms. As most people who use cordless power tools will know these saws can chew through battery life in no time but I use the 4.0ah’s with this and the life is excellent so no need to carry 3 tons of spare battery’s in the bag. I simply Can’t fault it.. Superb.
