Just the job.
Bought for DIY jobs, so far hasn’t let me down, cuts through 22mm chip board easily, used for on and off for a day on one battery charge.
Handy tool
I’ve used this saw on a number of projects and found it to be very useful, I have found that you need to make a slower cut than other circular saws I’ve had, if you go to quick the saw blade tends to stop turning
Battery life not the best but good for small jobs and fast charging

Cut a worktop with ease ,but disappointed that the case is not designed better once blade has been fitted cutter will not fit in case which defeats the object of having a case a bad design , if you have to keep removing the blade but get a 5.0 amp battery there is cheap out there as I have a few because I use a couple of worx grinders .
Worth it for money
Got it for my husband’s bday he luv it and very useful without cable peace of mind
Powerful, precise & Manoeuverable.
This is great to use, is my first tool like this and is easy to use and gives great results. Comes with a few cutting blades for ability to cut different materials.
Battery lasts a good amount of time and charges quickly, also great to have the carry case to store everything.
Also great I can share battery’s with my other woxs tools.
In this not being a full size circular saw but slightly smaller means you have great manoeuvrability which is made even better by being cordless!
It’s really versatile in what jobs it can be used for.
For a first saw tool I’ve found it really easy to use and would recommend.
safe easy operatio
Power is awesome, battery life is good even from a 2Ah, stops instantly when trigger released, good LED.
Power compact saw wish I’d had one years ago.
Powerful little circular saw, so many uses. Could possibly do with a bit more depth of cut but it literally just cuts thru panels like butter with the correct blade in for the job.
Can be a bit long when in a tight space.
Battery life obvs depends on what battery, but no worse than a drill or impact driver.
Great compact saw.

Cordless power saw.
Fantastic piece of kit. Very maneuverable and lightweight but sturdy.
Brilliant!
Really really great tool, will cut through anything.
Have been using this now for a couple of home projects and this tool makes light work of cutting wood. The cut edge is really nice and smooth also.
Battery life is good. No complaints!! Will recommend!!!

it cuts dry decking
hi, I am pleased with my Worx saw I very nearly didn’t buy as someone posted a review saying it couldn’t cut decking well it does. not tried on wet decking but on dry it cuts fine. see video. not easy to hold the phone and cut wood at the same time. only used it a couple of times just to test. I would say give it a try.

I would say give it a try.
Revamping all my decking to better accommodate a large hot tub. Needed a circular saw but did not want a large, mains one. I already have a WORX drill driver that has been an excellent piece of equipment so thought this would be a good opportunity to get more WORX battery compatible tools. First off, it’s light, only cuts to 41mm depth at 90* but that was fine for me. Comes in a decent case which I like, however, the blade has to be removed when storing in the case. Talking of blades, it comes supplied with 3 in total, only used the wood cut blade so far but it’s very good. Now, it is a battery saw, do not expect a full day out of one battery! Having 3 batteries in total, as I have, means no downtime. It comes with a fast charger so just swap out the flat battery with a fully charged one, place the used one on charge and off you go. Like most, if not all circular saws, there is adjustment to ensure a proper 90* cut, so a little time spent setting the blade is worthwhile. 0* to 45* cuts are available although this reduces the cutting depth. A work light comes on when using the saw and the blade also stops very quickly when switching off. I’ve found it extremely useful, don’t force the blade, let it do the cut by itself (as you should with any power tool such as a drill) Overall I’m happy and may invest in a higher amp battery. Available as aftermarket replacements as well as WORX. This will give a greater range of use before recharging. For DIY applications, it’s great and possibly for some trades too as it is compact. Nice to have in the toolbox.
EDIT; think I spoke too soon. Only this morning, the saw developed a fault (2 weeks after purchase) despite fresh/new batteries, the blade will not spin. LEDworklight flashes when battery connected but no movement from motor. Spinning the motor by hand, with battery off the machine, I could hear and feel that the motor wasn’t engaging properly as if a gear was out of alignment? Tried troubleshooting with Amazon, who were amazing to say the least. They even managed to connect me directly with WORX customer service! Without me ringing them via the live chat facility which I started off with. Anyway, WORX said it needed returning as there was obviously a fault beyond telephone diagnosis. 3 year warranty but first year via Amazon so have returned for a refund. Perhaps I have just been unlucky here. I’m resting my 5 stars for excellent customer service both from Amazon and WORX as they were great. The product itself, whilst it worked was perfect for my needs, perhaps a replacement would fare better.
Very easy to use
I was putting down some laminate flooring, and since the power was going to off in the house, i decided to go for one of these as i already had the batteries at home.
I have other mains powered tools that could have done the job if the electricity was on in the house, and i wasnt expecting much from this saw.
Wow i was amazed at how light this is and how easy it was to cut the laminate planks.
Once you get the hang of it, it does save a lot of time, no wires to move out the way and not restricted to be by a power outlet, extension cable.
Very impressed.
Tip, remember to press far enough down as you get started to ensure you get a proper cut at the beginning of the item you are cutting.

Really useful little saw
Had one of these for a few years now and it is a really useful little saw. It isn’t the deepest cutting or the most powerful, but its light, easy to use, accurate and really handy to have. Useful for light trimming of wood, plaster and woodwool boards, skirting etc. I have cut worktop and 25mm marine ply too. The worktop was slow and needed cut from both sides, but I’d managed it. Having had one, I wouldn’t be without it.
Slight update! I have finally used the diamond blade in this saw and was cutting through 25mm thick sandstone with ease. Not the fastest cut but clean and with very little dust. Also good for chasing into sandstone walls to run cables.
WX523
Very pleased with it . A Handy cordless saw with plenty of power.
Very good
Very good staff for home if you like to work your own hands, not noisy, accurate, manoeuvres.
To place some context I am a DIYer not a professional wood worker, that said I’ve found the saw battery lasted very well making a bed and headboard. The saw is light, the blade is very easy to change, providing you note the direction arrow on the nut that clearly tells you which way to turn it, the saw comes with battery, saw guide, dust extractor size adapter, 3 blades for wood plastic ceramic and metal, I found the Bosch dust bag (27 from Amazon) from my Bosch electric plane fits with the adapter supplied although it’s a bit cumbersome, the provides a good clean cut, the case the unit comes with is good quality and will stand up to abuse in the back of a van,
I like that the saw stops almost immediately when you release the button, overall safety is very good, the only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that the saw lacks a laser which would be helpful, but I does have a very bright led light the comes on with a light touch of the button. I’ve used the saw with an edge clamp too and it worked well. As I said I am not a professional, someone who uses the saw on a regular basis may give a more informed review for using in that environment. I am a little hesitant to say how many metres the battery lasts as I haven’t had to charge it yet, oh and it really handy to take to the big box stores and cut lengths of timber to a manageable size to transport home in my car. Just do research to make sure the model you want if a laser is required
Why did I not get one years ago?
Really easy to use, so light in comparison to wired saws, super easy to use, my only regret is I should have bought one ages ago. I also have other Worx tools that use the same battery system, great saw even if you don’t, a must have if you do.
Third Hand for those awkward jobs
Ideal for cutting up timber and tiles easy to use very versatile bit of kit.
Really Good
Really handy little tool and blade is really sharp. Excellent.
Nice!
Defo recommend this life saver. Great finish of wood cuts and cuts fine cuts where needed. It is accurate and not bad at all as some mentioned. I have even bought a replacement spare blade so a good investment. Thanks for the quick turnaround on both Amazon.

Not much speed for wood cutting
This is a very nice circular saw in the handling and grip department. however, the speed is not adequate for cutting wood.
Ease of use
Typical proper worx tool excellent build and really easy to use. One downside ,if like me you like to keep your stuff in the case supplied then you need to remove the blade every time or it doesn’t fit in the case.

Good power from a cordless
Used a couple of times so far and very impressed. With the TCT blade cut wood, MDF, OSB, and kitchen worktop to various depth and it did it all easily – I’m impressed.
worx saw
bought this worx saw today sunday 18th model no wx523.9 body only and i thought that my old saw blades would fit but they do not and i can not get hold of blades that fit this model of saw
Worx doing what it does best....
Love Worx as a brand and this does nothing but improve their reputation. The saw is easy to use, light, manoeverable, and will accurately attack any job you throw at it.
Watch out for small splinterschunks if wood fowling the inside of the blade, especially on thinslim cuts, otherwise it’s great…..

Very easy to use
A great tool, light and easy to use. Makes a good clean cut, made light work of some sheets of 3/4″ ply and surprisingly easy to keep in a straight line

useful compact cordless plunge saw
Very useful small circular saw. Easy to use, cuts well.
Only thing is the blade protection plate needs careful use when cutting through planks.. have to hold it up with the little tang at the same time as switching on the blade or the plate hits the plank edge and won’t rise…so the saw won’t start ( safety feature) but works brilliantly for plunging and has plenty of power to cut a 2 inch plank.
I would definitely buy this tool…uses the same worx batteries as all the worx 20v tools.
Brilliant Produc
Got this to complement other Worx tools and just as good as the rest. Battery lasts forever and it cuts pretty much anything you throw in front of i
👍
Quick set up but have to get an adapter for the dust extraction nozzle
Great mini saw
Used it for chopping pallets, cutting chipboard and plywood. Very easy to use, cuts perfect.
I bought this WX531 to replace my aging Makita 165mm 18V circular. I did think long and hard about the WX530 (Exatrack) vs this WX531. Ultimately, I decided that I rarely cut deeper than 40mm so favoured the smaller, lighter tool. Also if I do need to cut deeper than 40mm a cordless is usually not up to the job so I would use my 230v Makita circular in those rare cases.
Cuts 38mm worktop, MDF, CLS ect with ease. It runs very fast at 6900 rpm so cuts very cleanly.
I haven’t tried cutting tiles or metal pipe yet but I am sure it will work fine.
Remember that any circular saw is only as good as its blade….. currently (28/07/20) Amazon UK dont stock WA5100 replacement blades. However they do have the slightly narrower WORX WA5046 blades which look like they would fit.
Like the others, Its an annoyance that the unit wont fit the case without removing the blade. Also the Hex holder on mine doesn’t hold it very firmly in place, though it hasn’t fallen out yet.
All in all very nice little tool. 4 stars.
Easy to use
Why didn’t I buy one of these earlier? Delivered today and I’ve used it all day, plenty of power to cut though a 38mm work top, hardly any chipping, easy to control and light. Made my day so much easier. I agree with the other review about having to remove the blade so it will fit back in the case, but it only takes a minute.

wx531.9 is an awesome little saw
Plenty of power with a 4amp battery and last a good amount of time, used to cut plenty of 18mm ply and floorboards no to mention a couple of small trees maybe 100mm thick gets through everything just fine, will cut off if you twist it. The tile cutting blade worked great on some 900×900 11mm thick floor tiles small amount of chipping roughly a millimetre whilst cutting as you would expect with a slitted blade. Do like the brushless stuff they are selling also have the brushless impact driver that is awesome, might replace the old worx combi driver with a brushless next.

Good saw shame about the case.
Exelent light saw, very versatile.
But what lightweight thought it was a good idea to supply a case that requires the blade to be removed every time to allow it to fit back in.

Good little tool
I like the size and quality.. did what I needed it to.
Brilliant piece of ki
Simply better than I even expected, will be well used. Now looking for a range of blades to go with i
good buy I hope
partner was delighted when it come since then it sat in box he will use it im sure just another gadge
Great little saw
Good quality long lasting battery and comes with a spare
No charger with this
I got this as a birthday gift, I primarily use it for chopping up wood for my log burner but have used it for diy jobs around the home, great for cutting skirting boards , floor boards but is limited on its depth, fairly powerful motor, even straining it doesn’t slow it down much. Only bad points is it doesn’t come with a charger but I managed to find an erbauer charger on screwfix that will charge the battery.
So I got this saw to cut out subfloor and cut sheets of plywood to replace, works great runs right through 12mm ply hardwood and right through 23mm chipboard with no trouble, ive found the 2mah battery dont last long and dont have near as much power as a 5mah battery, so my advise is buy the tool and get 5mah batterys on popular auction sites that work with all worx tools. very handy piece of kit I was worried it would not be powerfull enough but it really does work great.
Every man should have one!
Great little product. Versatile, sturdy and easy to use. So convenient being cordless and good value with the three blades included.
add this to your tool ki
very happy with this so far and never understand why i have not had one before now
Wow
I brought the saw to replace a chop saw the I paid many hundreds of pounds for and the works unit is as good if not better than my last saw this is worth its purchase price but if you need longer running buy the larger batter for the works unit.

Fantastic item
Does what it says
Wife got it me for xmas and I love it. Great because it’s cordless.
Grea
This is a great wee saw, you need to take it easy through thicker materials but not a problem only used it on wood and mdf so far but grea
Good
Bought this item for a Christmas present (not myself). No issues as far as Im aware.
Great saw takes a little to.get used to.i
It takes a bit of getting used to the fact that you have to push the saw down to.the stop .to cut
You can’t lock the table and blade depth in the position and cut
But saying that it’s a great little saw

Value for money
Very good as a Christmas present my u cle will love i
I was surprised with how easy it cut a piece of damp plywood. I bought it solely as I had several more powerful inter changeable batteries, the battery supplied with this unit is a cost cutting version as it has no visual power remaining check facility. It’s a tool I will not use often but it is convenient to just go to the van and grab it for those small quick get a floorboard up occasions. If you intend to demolish a rain forest, then this is not the tool you need. Overall so far OK.
Nice Produc
Not had a chance to use it yet but the only thing I would day is its a little pricey but not complaining happy with purchase.
good saw
Very good tool very easy to handle, if you are doing general d,i,y, round the home it is a very practical saw. I used it to trim 25mm off a stud wall when fitting wardrobe doors as the new ones were 20mm too big and it saved me a lot of time and hassle.
Does what is says on the box..................
Useful for what I need it for. Do not expect it to cut anything thicker than the blade I have used it to cut thicker wood, IE cut one side then turn it over and cut from other side. But it does struggle with this but remember it is not designed to work like this. I only added this in in case other buyers were toying with the same idea…………….
Worx saw
This is a great tool with great build quality,the only downfall is the instructions are not particularly good.

Good value
Good tool. Small for carrying on the job. Worth the price tag
I bought this today as I thought it would be useful around the house .It seems well made but I won’t know until I have used it more to see how long the battery lasts .
I already have a Circular Saw and when using that one you put two hands on it to activate the two step safety switches and when you start to cut the blade guard slides up and allows the blade to meet the wood.
This saw works in a different way ….the one hand ( right in my case) operates the two triggers to start the saw but you also need to press in a section and at the same time pull up a hook to release the guard hiding the blade which allows the workpiece to be cut . …and I find that tricky ….Is there a knack to do this
EDIT :I think I have sussed how to deal with holding the saw and pulling up the sole plate at the same time so it should get easier in time …not the best designed feature tho’
I tried it out to cut a piece of laminate and I was using the parallel guide and the guide height means the laminate can fit in the gap so thats no good for thin wood unless I can adapt the guide ….possibly by glueing on another piece of wood or plastic .
I was also going to say that somewhere to “park” the Allen Key would be useful but it might sit to one side of the sole plate .
Otherwise I have no complaints but time will tell
Good value
Bit difficult to see cutting blade but nevertheless a good bit of kit !
Does what it says.
Excellent piece of kit, Use it for what it is intended and its brilliant.
It cuts stuff
I liked it because it cut stuff I used it to cut stuff
Great little tool.
Perfect tool for building my shed from scratch. Used old pallets that needed cutting. This little saw was just right. Cutting depth good for it.
Battery life much better than expected.
Consider the upgraded battery or sadly dont consider this at all
The saw itself i would say is pretty impressive but yes as suggested you need the upgraded battery as the one supplied is very poo
5***** tool
Received one for my birthday easy to use even one handed
Lovely tool. Easy to use.
Build solidly. Comes with three blades. The battery holds a solid charge and it cuts really well. Very happy with it. It ripped sheets of 20mm ply wood accurately and effortlessly. Easy and quick change of blades. Very happy

Worxsaw
This is really great, great value for money will definitely recommend you
Impressed
Bought for doing the decking cuts, works is still in progress but so far so good. Laser is good, definitely needed as otherwise difficult to see blade line.
Birthday prese
Brilliant comes with case is easy to use and does the job
Easy to use and works well
Performs well and gives a nice clean cut. Slightly bigger than I imagined from pictures on the web site.
Quality
Absolutely brilliant, lives up to the claims made. highly recommend.
Worx wx523
This item was exactly what I wanted and does the the jobs perfectly. So glad I bought it.
Another masterpiece from Worx
This is such a useful little skill or circular saw. So good at ripping down big sheets to manageable size sheets ready for the table saw.
Great item if ever I needed another I will be ...
Great item if ever I needed another I will be ordering from same company
Nice and easy to use
Nice and easy to use. I do wish it would tilt to 45 degrees angle, however its been really useful and easy to use and saw the heavy 19mm plywood sheets into smaller sizes so that I could carry them easily and store them indoors.

Great product. Works really well. Keep in mind it is not big. It is pretty effective
The little rascal
In a fond way I call it the little rascal. You just need to assess its size and know just how and things to use it on, and it will never disappoint.
Great wee saw.
Pleasantly surprised how well this wee saw cuts, good power output and battery lasts very well, easy to handle one handed and the laser is great so no real complaints just a pity it doesn’t have a deeper cut.

Great Product but the battery lets you down, very little staying power which comes as standard with the product. Needs higher powered battery otherwise great to use, lot better than heavy cumbersome Circular saw. It would be even better if it could come with rail platform to give accurate straight cuts.

WORXSAWME
I know it was a Christmas present from my better half but the power of TV advertising Worx for me in this instance as I saw it on Amazon at the lowest UK price and as it was in and out of stock quickly I grabbed at the chance of getting the order in.
Having tested it and found it to be quiet and smooth to operate with a nice travel case, I feel it is a great little product that I am sure I will make good use of it when the weather improves.
This is suited to light woodwork and you are still going to need a heavier duty circular saw for the bigger stuff.
Battery life seems good and it is possible to use this with one hand.
Seems a little under power but does the job we needed. Might look at getting a larger ah battery.
very good powerful saw only problem for me that is its awkward to operate the safety switch to start saw if the safety switch operated in the other direction would been an advantage for me that is
Brilliant tool – can confirm that this is the UK 3 pin versio
