DeWalt DCS572N-XJ 18V XR Brushless 184mm Circular Saw (Body Only) vs Bosch Professional GKS 18V-57-2 165mm Cordless Circular Saw (Body Only)

Pros

• + 184mm blade with a published 58mm cut at 90 degrees - the deepest cordless cut here
• + Sole plate runs on DeWalt's guide rail, so sheets get a straight edge without a plunge saw
• + Electronic brake, LED cut line, lock-off switch and AirLock dust connection; bevels to 57 degrees
• + Published runtime of 20 linear metres of 50mm softwood on one 5.0Ah charge, on a 250-plus tool platform

Cons

• − The most expensive saw on this list, and body only - no battery and no charger in the box
• − A modest Amazon UK owner record, the thinnest owner evidence of the seven picks
• − DeWalt publishes no no-load speed, no bare weight and no 45 degree depth for this model
• − A guide rail is a separate purchase on top of a saw that is already pro-priced

Pros

• + Blue Bosch Professional 18V, the same battery as Bosch's GSB and GSR drills
• + 165mm blade cutting 57mm at 90 degrees and 41mm at 45, at 5,000rpm
• + Fast brake, LED, dust blower and bevel stops up to 50 degrees
• + Sold and dispatched by Amazon, with a parallel guide and a wood blade in the box

Cons

• − A modest owner record on Amazon UK so far
• − 2.8kg without a battery, by Bosch's figure, so not a one-handed saw
• − Green Bosch Home & Garden Power for All batteries don't fit it
• − Body only: no battery or charger
