Is there a circular saw that accepts this battery system?

The simple answer is yes. Dewalt makes a battery powered (18v li-ion) circular saw that takes the same battery as used in this kit.

yes, I use it with both a 18 volt Circular 5 3/8" Trim Saw and the 18v 6 1/2 circular saw.

Yes. I bought one but haven't used it yet. I'm sure it's a good product. The saw is remarkable. It's rare that you get to say that about any product now a days!

hello Brittanyi'm a licensed electrician and i use this little saw alot. i know the batteries are expensive but i would only use a battery of the same voltage and the same type battery with any cordless tool. it may harm or ruin the motor that runs the saw.

Locate the battery number and Google it. You'll find plenty of places selling them as singles and in pairs. Same for the charger. The saw is sweet for small quick cuts where you don't want to bother with a larger saw and power cords.

The description should read 6-1/2-Inch Circular Saw with L-BOXX-3. The saw comes shipped in the L-BOXX-3. It has a tray on the bottom that holds the saw in place. It includes 1 6-1/2 18 tooth blade. The only draw back is that it doesn't include any battery (but it says that in the description).

My DEWALT 20 V Saw Saw takes Li Batteries. I believe the Li batteries came in with the 20 V system which I have. The other thing you may have to be sure of is the mounting configuration. I'm not sure if there is more than one configuration.

The circular saw is like the Makita reciprocating saw; you have to use the 18 volt 3 Ah batteries rather than the smaller 1.5 Ah. The 3 amp hour batteries cost around $100 each, but they are worth it. You'll have longer running time, even on your existing drills.

I bought a complete Ryobi tool kit. I am not impressed with some of the tools. The rotary saw and kit batteries are junk and the batteries beganto lose life and power right away and did'nt survive even one year. Get one expensive lithium ion battery and you will be much happier than with your kit battery.

Unknown, I sent mine back because the standard Makita 18vdc batteries I have would not fit on the saw.

Yes, it has to be 20 volt batteries. The 18 volt (the older/bulkier) batteries will not work with this. The 1.5v, 3.0v or the newer 2.0v, 4.0v all work with this circular saw.

Yes. But that's an "expensive" circular saw. Moreover, it wouldn't be using it to it's best advantage as what it's made for - riding in the track (the track usually cost additional OR you have to buy an additional 55" track to add to the 1 track they sell you so that you can cut full sheets of plywood). The benefit of using "track saws" is that when they are riding in the rail guides they are "captured" and don't veer off the cut line. As I posted in previously -if you buy the Makita plunge saw - get additional blades for general purpose use or ripping because it comes with a fine tooth blade which is basically only good for 3/4" or so plywood or wood and you'll burn up the Makita motor (like I did!!!!). The Makita is allegedly the most powerful of the tracksaws @ 12 amp (the others are 10 amps). However, my circular saw is 15 amps. These "tracksaws" or "plunge saws" are good for their limited use - but that use is great depending on what you're making. I would buy a cheap circular saw for general circular saw use (ie. a Skil) and keep the plunge saws for "fine" cutting.

4-6 inch might be bit much, but if had the right blade I am sure it will work. I returned the saw because I did not realize it came with no battery and charger and i would have to spend another $90 for these. This saw is part of a family of tools that use the same battery. If you have the tools and battery and charger it is excellent saw, built well and good design layout.

The batteries that come with this are 1.3AH, near the low end of the product line. I found they work fine for the drill but drain from the cordless saws very quickly. I am buying a 2.4AH battery DC9096 in hopes of getting better battery life with the circular saw.

I know for sure the circular saw has a blade included. I don't remember if there was a blade included for the reciprocating saw.

Yes the batteries are 100 compatible with this saw and yes it includes 1 blade but it is a regular blade, the blade is made it just for ordinary cuts. Just to cut pieces of 2x4 or ordinary wood

If your BD battery fits it will operate the saw. Just used mine the other day on some 3" branches and it did a good job of cutting them off.

Yes, I interchange my batteries between the Sabre saw, impact driver, and saws-all. I love Porter Cable tools.
