I am not a DYI guy, however since my purchase of this item I have done quite a few DYI projects. It's perfect for those small jobs.

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.
