Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need a V20 battery and charger, sold separately.

What size blade does it take?

It uses 6-1/2 inch blades with a standard arbor, which is common and easy to find.

Can it cut 2x4 lumber?

Yes. At 90 degrees it cuts through 2x material in one pass; depth drops as you bevel.

Does it have an electric brake?

No. The blade coasts to a stop after you release the trigger, so wait before setting it down.

Is it good for framing?

It handles light framing and decking, but a 7-1/4 inch saw is faster for repeated deep cuts.

Will my V20 batteries from other Craftsman tools fit?

Yes. It is part of the V20 system, so any V20 battery works.

What reviewers say

Owners treat it as a solid value saw for light and medium jobs, especially for those already on the V20 platform. They like the power for 2x cuts and the easy bevel change, but note the bare-tool packaging and the lack of a brake.
