DeWalt DCS572N-XJ 18V XR Brushless 184mm Circular Saw (Body Only) vs Evolution R185CCSX 185mm Multi-Material Circular Saw with 1020mm Track

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
• − 60 Amazon UK ratings is 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

• + Deepest published cut on this list at 64mm at 0 degrees, and 47mm at 45 degrees
• + Three-piece 1020mm track and a track-cut cast aluminium sole plate in the box
• + Multi-material TCT blade rated for 3mm mild steel plate and box section as well as timber
• + Corded: nothing else to buy, no pack to charge, and Evolution's three-year registered warranty

Cons

• − Bevels only to 45 degrees where the untracked R185CCS below goes to 60
• − On the track the cut drops to a published 59mm at 0 degrees and 42mm at 45
• − 5.1kg is the heaviest tool here, and the 3m lead ties it to a socket
• − No electric brake, and the 16 tooth blade is a ripping blade - a fine-tooth blade is extra
