Worx WX530L 20V Power Share ExacTrack 6.5" Cordless Circular Saw

This is a surprisingly good tool for the price. I wasn't exactly clear on the utility of the ExacTrack feature when I bought it. I do production work manufacturing beehives for backyard beekeepers in my area and there are several longer angled cuts in the hive bodies. I am used to using an edge guide for this, but this little guy did it beautifully with just a straight batten which saved getting out another gizmo. I would call this "flush cutting" and this saw completed the task accurately and cleanly. I have only used it in one by material but it seemed to have adequate power and never bogged down. I'm very pleased!

Love this saw. Have used it for several projects this spring. It is light weight, and easy to use. I would recommend this saw to anyone that has ever had fear or problems cutting with a skill saw. It takes any fear out of handling a circular saw. The guide is easy to use and makes it almost effortless to stay on track while cutting. So far I have used it on 2 X 10 green treat, plywood, siding etc. I have seen a 70 year old woman using it like a pro.

I have several of their tools and I like them alot . The customer service sucks though . Clicking got me a order of a 6.5 inch skill saw I did not intend to purchase because I had got one for less through Amazon .98 verses 128 . Called and told by robo they would call back . I am, a manly man not having the cell on my Person all the time missed their 24 hours later call back . So the product is good I will keep it along with another one purchased and gave it to the son in law who does home improvements . They seem to be good battery operated tools . FROM CHINA OF COURSE .

Bottom line: it's a great circular saw, precise, light weight, well built, exacttrack is very innovative and cool but comes with its own awkwardness (see below). This could be a great first circular saw for DIY starter. The cordless tool also makes it SUPER easy to grab and cut on the fly.Common cons to any battery powered saw: once battery power declines, cuts slow down significantly. I found that with the OEM 20V battery reduces to 1 bar, I start to have lockouts when cutting 2x materials (blade jam is especially often when you cut freehanded, as blade tends to wiggle a little and not always perpendicular to the wood piece)Here comes the awkward part: I purchased this saw in hope to replace my other circular saws. but it can't. Few things to consider: 1\ this is a 6.5 inch saw, so you cant cut 4x4 in one go; 2\ if you use exacttrack, the maximum cut depth is only 1.5 in; 3\ you can only use exacttrack at 90 degree, so that you wont be able to cut french cleats with exacttrack; 4\ as innovative as exacttrack is, you can't use any straight edge with clamps: your edge must be 3-4inches wide at least so when you clamp it down, the clamp heads wont interfere with the exacttrack metal part (the red piece). that being said, you cant use typical metal ruler as your straight edge as most of them are too narrow (~2inch wide); 5\ because the extracttrack system, it does not come with an edge-guide, that means you can't make quick ripcuts from edge without clamping down a straight edge

good

Functionally, it's pretty good. I love the ExacTrack feature and the ability to put the blade right on the mark. This really made cutting easier.However, a 2 ah is not enough to do anything significant. I couldn't even cut a door in half, widthwise. I've come to think that a cordless circular saw is just not going to be too useful.Additionally, 6.5" limits available blades. 7.25" would be better.I would really like to see a corded circular saw with ExacTrack.

I have not used it enough yet to give a good review. I will say that for sheet goods up to 3/4 in. it works well if you don't try to go to fast. I used it to cut the bottom off of a door and the saw would stall if I didn't slow down. For ease of use and smaller projects it is quick and easy without messing around with cords or in one case I would have had to run a generator. I did replace the blade very quickly to a better quality blade with a thinner kerf. So far I like it and it has it's place in my job box.

LOVE this circular saw, so lightweight yet sturdy. The included ExactTrack is a super nice feature makes cutting correctly measured wood an exact science. It comes with one rechargeable battery. I picked up an extra double sized battery that lasts longer than original. All in all this 20volt saw is a nice addition to the rest of the 20 volt Worx family
