1. Makita HS7601 (from 7300 rubles)

A popular brand of power tools has a number of circulars in its arsenal. This is the most popular model, optimal in terms of characteristics – power, weight, price above average, but everything is of high quality. If it suddenly seems to you that you want more power, then take a closer look at the 5008MG model. The design is similar, but the tool is more playful. But the price will be around 10 thousand rubles. For now, back to our heroine. You can connect a vacuum cleaner to it to clearly see the cut line. Graphite brushes, which are used for safe work, are easily accessible. The back of the engine is flat. This makes it easier to change the disc.

If you buy an adapter, you can install a guide rail. The cutting angle is adjustable from 0 to 45 degrees. Boards are recommended to take no more than a thickness of 5 cm. More “fat” tools will pull, but will fail faster. However, for domestic use this is more than enough.

2. Interskol DP-190/1600M (from 5000 rubles)

The saw cuts materials to a depth of 63 millimeters. It has a powerful 1600 watt motor. Discs with a standard diameter of 19 centimeters. The cutting angle can be adjusted. There are locks against accidental inclusion and a spindle – tool shaft to quickly change the disk. The support platform was made of aluminum alloy. You can put a pad on it to work with a tire.

There is a pipe for connecting a vacuum cleaner. The circular saw has two handles. The tilt angle is adjustable from 0 to 45 degrees. For this, convenient levers are provided in the design. Those who bought the model write that replacing the native disk will help make the device ideal. They say it is not bad, but other tools will fully open up with the sharpest counterparts.

3. BOSCH GKS 190 (from 7600 rubles)

The equipment of the German manufacturer is always a bit more expensive than competitors in its segment. But there are enough buyers – they pay for quality. It has a relatively low weight, and the power and speed are comparable to a large tool. The depth of cut in our ranking of the best circular saws of 2022 is a record – 70 millimeters. But note that this is at an angle of 90 degrees. At 45 degrees, the depth drops to 5 centimeters.

A fan is built into the case, which blows away the chips, but if it is not enough, then it is possible to connect a vacuum cleaner. The handle is rubberized with a pleasant to the touch coating. The kit comes with a parallel stop. The spindle is blocked, for self-quick replacement of the disk. If you put a circular for metal, then she will also not notice any sheet of aluminum, like a board. Buyers note that this model, unlike competitors, does not make unnecessary noise – the engine and disk are buzzing, nothing else.

What other circular saws are worth paying attention to

4. DeWALT DWE560 (from 8400 rubles)

If you don’t feel sorry for the money, then take a closer look at this “American”. True, it is still assembled in China. The firm makes a professional instrument, but this one is primarily for amateur use. But the engine is powerful enough. There are two handles to comfortably hold the saw with both hands. Suitable for straight and bevel cuts. The maximum degree of inclination is 48. The angle is adjusted with special clamps on a scale with degrees. No additional tools are needed.

It has its own blower system to remove debris. The circular saw already has a ruler with an emphasis so that the blade goes in a straight line. Some kits have a woodworking disc with nails. This is convenient if, for example, you are going to cut old parquet. There are also variations with a case, but they are more expensive. The only thing is that this tool has non-standard discs – not 19 centimeters, but 184 millimeters. But frankly, if you take it with a hole of 16 millimeters, then everything will fit.

5. ZUBR ZPD-1600 (from 3800 rubles)

manufacturer, but they make the tool in China. For such power, a very good price. Takes wood 6,5 centimeters thick. The gearbox is enclosed in a steel casing for protection and good cooling. For a vacuum cleaner, there is a pipe in the kit, but a regular fan is in place. On the body there is a large comfortable handle. There is a lamb, by setting it to the desired position, which adjusts the angle of cut. It is convenient that it is not divided into any sections, so you are free to choose the corner within a limited radius.

The design has a metal casing that is superimposed on the disc in order to protect the operator. As with all the best circular saws, the sole is made of steel. The shaft is fixed and you can change the disk yourself. But why, if everything is so perfect, we did not put this model somewhere higher in the ranking of the best? The fact is that this is still an amateur instrument with all the ensuing disadvantages. The saw moves a little to the side in the process and the saw cut is beveled. Not critical – up to one millimeter. Plus, the protection system is not very well thought out in the sense that it sometimes interferes with the operator.

6. Bort BHK-185U (from 3,2 thousand rubles)

Another state employee from China, although nominally a German company. The disk of this model works well on wood and plastic. Cutting depth up to 64 mm at a right angle. If you reduce the radius by half, then it drops to 40 millimeters, which is also enough for domestic needs. The manufacturer gives a good five-year warranty on the tool, which means you don’t have to worry that this is some kind of consumer goods. The kit includes spare carbon brushes and a simple parallel guide.

When buying, it is worth considering that it is nobly dusty, but there is no nozzle for a vacuum cleaner. Therefore, be sure to goggles, a mask and it is better to work outdoors. The handles are rubberized, ergonomics are at the level: all the buttons are in their place. But, as always, there are tricks in inexpensive technology: in the process of work, the cutting angle flies by a couple of degrees, and the screws continually unscrew due to vibrations on the body. If you plan to take it somewhere to the workshop, where the tool will tirelessly cut for several months in a row, then it is likely that the case will crack under load.

7. BLACK+DECKER CS1004 (from 4000 rubles)

This is the most democratic circular saw from this company. Powerful and lightweight. There is a quick access for independent replacement of the disk and graphite brushes. The tool has two protective covers. The cutting angle is adjustable from 0 to 45 degrees – the standard of 2022. One of the main features is the double insulation on the body, so it can be used with sockets without grounding.

For rough work on metal and wood, a native disk is suitable. But if you need perfect accuracy and evenness of the cut, then buy some more expensive analogue. Such is the trend that complete discs are modern circulars are not the first grade. Buyers note the quality of the construction: there is no backlash, you can work with one hand, the sole is perfectly straight. Just keep in mind that the depth here is adjustable in inches. Vibration during operation is small, but the start is harsh.

8. Hitachi C6SS (from 6200 rubles)

And again, the case when you pay for a reliable brand. This model, in terms of its characteristics, loses to the rest – power, small disk diameter. But on the other hand, she is ready to work out every watt and every millimeter of her knives. The quality assembly is immediately noted: the tool looks solid, without small parts that can fall off or break. Parallel guide rail included. Here its quality is just inferior to the entire unit.

Boards up to five centimeters thick pass like clockwork. Three standard sheets of plywood put together are also not afraid. The handle is plastic. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not make any inserts for convenience. But if you work with gloves, as it should be according to safety precautions, then everything is normal. The circular saw does not produce serious vibrations. To fix the depth there is a rigid lever. The connection of a vacuum cleaner is not provided, but if you believe the reviews, this circular does not suffer from the accumulation of sawdust dunes – the chips themselves fly off well.

9. Status CP90U (from 6200 rubles)

Lightweight and powerful mini saw. Supplied in a neat case. The circular is very light – it is held with one hand. The second can hold the workpiece. The kit includes a nozzle for a vacuum cleaner and spare disks. The tool can be called multifunctional. This is a sawing machine, and with an additional platform it turns into a miter saw. But she needs to be bought.

The angle is static – 90 degrees. Take a tree up to 28 millimeters thick. Take a thin sheet of aluminum. And if you change the disk, it will work on stone and tiles up to 8 millimeters. There is a length adjustment scale, with a ruler and a reliable constipation. There is a laser marker – a handy thing. The work key is located exactly under the lower fingers. Closes her lock tab. In general, this is an excellent tool for work in the country or private orders.

10. DIOLD DP-0,55 MF (from 4600 rubles)

A modest instrument from Smolensk. Focused not only on sawing wood, soft metals, ceramics, stone, cement-bonded particle boards and gas-filled concrete. When working with the latter, please note that there is no dust protection here, so if the motor suddenly stops, this is recognized as a non-warranty case. It is also worth buying a special disk. According to the instructions, it can work continuously for up to 30 minutes.

The device is compact and fits into a complete case. It already contains three disks. The width of the cut can be measured with a side stop. Depth adjustment and saw line marks are available. In general, this tool is suitable if you need mobility in your work: there are places where it is not possible to put a regular tool. For example, it is suitable for a team that makes repairs in apartments. Or do-it-yourself hobbyists, but who need the tool irregularly.

How to choose a circular saw

We talked about the best circular saw models that are on the market in 2022. We wish you successful shopping, and our expert is a master of construction work Matvey Naginsky will tell you how to choose a circular.

Power

Household tools have a run-up of 400 to 1000 watts. These can be taken for personal use. Suitable for repair teams. The middle class ends around 1500-1600 watts. These can be taken to workshops that have a small amount of work. Models up to 2000 W are already for the pros. They are heavy and expensive. They have the maximum cutting depth.

Nuances for comfortable work

Cleaving knife. It is placed behind the disk. Its function is to relieve the load on the saw blade during rip sawing. It’s great if there is a pipe for installing a vacuum cleaner – it will come in handy with a large work front. Another useful feature is soft start. Without it, a powerful tool vibrates unpleasantly. For the accuracy of the cut, you need a guide. Often they come with a kit, but sometimes you can buy separately. Cool accessory laser tag. Unfortunately, not all models are equipped with this. It does help a lot though.

About discs

If you bought a new circular saw and it doesn’t seem to be doing well, try replacing the blade. Don’t be afraid to buy products from other brands. The part is not so expensive, and productivity can seriously increase. Also, disks are divided by purpose. But, say, a disk for metal will also take wood and this will not affect its performance and sharpness in any way. But discs for wood in no case need to work on concrete and metal. The tool will fail. It is better to take hard alloy wheels – more durable.

Price and brands

The market leaders are Makita, Bosch, DeWalt and Sturm. Ours also make good products, but most domestic brands still send assembly to China. The optimal price for the best circular saw is 5-6 thousand rubles. Models more expensive for personal use does not make sense to take. They are already for production.
