About the Worx 20V Max 4-1/2 in. Cordless Brushless Compact Circular Saw

The Worx Nitro Worxsaw WX531L is a 20-volt cordless compact circular saw with a 4-1/2 inch blade. It is designed for one-handed cutting of two-inch lumber, plywood, and trim, and for quick rip and plunge cuts. It weighs less than 4 pounds, which makes it easier to maneuver than a full-size circular saw.

A brushless motor drives the saw at a no-load speed of 6,900 RPM. The blade has a 3/8-inch arbor, half the size of a traditional circular saw blade, which lets the motor spin it faster. The brushless motor is meant to deliver more power while using less battery, so one charge lasts longer. The saw has a comfortable grip.

Maximum cutting depth is 1.5 inches, enough to cut 2x4s and plywood. A bevel-adjustment lever sets bevel cuts from 0 to 46 degrees. The 20V PowerShare battery is compatible with over 75 20V, 40V, and 80V lifestyle, garden, and power tools in the PowerShare family.
