Like a hot knife through butter.
Rating: 5
I've used many circular saws in my life. This blows them all out of the water! It's not light, and for one handed sawing, your arm will feel it at the end of the day, but it slides through lumber like butter. Can't believe I waited so long to buy it.

Quality of Skilsaw
Rating: 5
My last Skilsaw finally gave up the ghost.After 34 years of faithful service to me,I had bought it well used, I'm now 65, hopefully it will be as faithful for another 34 years and that I may be still using it if the Good Lord works it out for me! Thanks Skilsaw

Skil wormdrive the absolute best for me
Rating: 5
I have used this saw for years, this about my 5th one over about 40 years of hard use in building houses and other projects. In my day it was known as a 'west coast saw'. Because of its weight. Eastern builders like little lightweight saws. But the quality, the life and the cut these dates produce are almost unequalled. I get tablesaw quality cuts in fine work. This saw loved the sight of a stack of wood!

great saw. tons of power and torque. It cuts through everything I've thrown at it. I'm 6' 8" with big hands and this thing fits like a glove. Almost like it crafted just for me. It's a wee bit hefty, but you can use that to work your way through whatever material you're cutting.

Skills saws are the best on the marketplace

Skills saws have been with me and my crews while I was working over my years working and never had problem just wore them out they got the jobs done and never gave out on us .

Absolutely Awesome Saw!
Rating: 5
Best saw I have used to date. Excellent torque and handling. Love this saw. If I ever buy another it will be the Mag 77 version. I 100% recommend this saw to anyone.

The only problem I found is that the specs show no specifications for a 100' extension cord.

Is This Slick Or What?
Rating: 5
Love the ExacTrack feature, no more measuring the distance from the blade to the edge when I cut against a straight edge. It line up the cut perfectly and quickly every time. The saw is well balanced and has a nice comfortable weight to it. It's just another of the ten well made and convenient Worx products that I own and enjoy using.

Great saw!
Rating: 5
Just got this saw. Needed to do a couple of fast cuts. Curious to how much noise and how powerful it would be. Well, to my surprise, it's much quieter than my regular circular saw, and has plenty of power. Haven't used the exactrak feature yet on a cut but it sure looks easy enough. Wish it took larger blades so when you use the exactrak feature it doesn't limit the depth of cut. But so far, EXCELLENT JOB WORX!!! Love all your tools!

Good Power
Rating: 5
I like using this saw in the Exact trak mode. just set a guide rail and the saw depth with easy to use marked depth setting and make the cut. It takes a little getting used to as you have hold the saw against the waste side not the good side and if you are trying to be very accurate you have to offset for the saw kerf.

excellent saw
Rating: 5
I purchased the reciprocating/jig saw about six months ago it worked so well for a project I was doing that when I first saw the xactrack cirular saw I ordered on the tool only as I already have extra batteries. The saw is so powerful and easy to use, almost anything can be used as a straight edge and there is no guesswork where the cut line will be, no hassle to compensate for the edge of the blade is going to cut, wish WORX would have come out with this saw sooner, excellent job WORKS!!!!

Great saw
Rating: 5
This saw does exactly what you want. My only complaint is that the vacuum adapter I'd a tad too small for the standard shop vac hose. Duct tape fixes that but maybe Worx can address this issue. Otherwise unless you are doing production cutting its the only saw you need. No more cord dragging (and accidentally cutting) for me.

Great tool for what it is intended for.
Rating: 5
I have only used this saw a few times but it does exactly what it was made for and that is for cutting straight lines while moving right against a straight edge. No more guessing or measuring. Just clamp a straight edge exactly where you want to cut and use Exactrack feature to get a clean precise cut. It also functions without the ExacTrack feature. The supplied blade has a very thin kerf. This saw is not intended to be an everyday lots of work implement but when you need to make precise cuts it will do the job and since it runs on the standard WORX 20 volt battery and is very lightweight it goes anywhere. It is my go to saw when I need to make just a few cuts. I have used it on 4X4 posts by rotating the post and making several cuts along the same axis.

nice addition to the 20v family

I have been looking for a cordless circular saw for a while and came across this saw by Worx and found it to be exactly what I was looking for. I love the fact that it uses the same batteries as my weed eater and blower. it has more features that the other cordless saws on the market which was an other deciding factor for me to purchase the saw. Great Job Worx on another great product!

I bought this two months ago to break down plywood sheets. The edge guide works as advertised. However I can not use a standard 6 1/2 inch saw blade with a 5/8 arbor. I've bought two different brands and they will not fit on my Worx saw. Even the information with the saw notes that it has a 5/8 arbor. The blades I bought fit fine on my Dewalt cordless saw. The arbor on the Worx is just a few thousandths larger than 5/8.

It aint no worm drive power saw
Rating: 2
Pros: Its light weight and fairly simple to operate Cons: Not powerful, the exact track isn't all that great and and side to side movement while cutting (adjusting to follow the line) will stop it in its tracks. I've been using this thing a ton, as I recently had to give back a borrowed corded saw which led me to purchase this as I have a few other powershare tools. I even bought the 40v battery hoping it my provide some extra juice. Cutting OSB or 2x4's will work just fine, but anything other than that, especially long extended cuts you better just take it nice and slow as I mentioned any adjusting laterally (even minimally) there's a good chance it will stop it in its tracks and its difficult to get it going again. Also, it's somewhat backwards as the motor on most saws is to the right of the blade whereas this saw has it on the left making it kinda awkward on the cutting and using the exacTrack where as the cutting away piece will drop off along with your grips holding the rail on there unless you switch it around if you know what I mean. Altogether, I hate to say it as the Worx tools have done very well for me (The switch driver is awesome) but this one I would pass and spend an extra $100 or so and get a worm drive cordless. I'm actually wondering if I should return it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Not enough power.
Rating: 2
I bought this saw a few months ago to use to cut 1/2 inch osb sheeting. It just does not have the power I expected. Even going very slow the saw will stop the blade/motor. I like the exact cut feature-wish it performed better.
