Power & Motor

The WX439L is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 4.5 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The BDCCS20C is cordless and requires 20 V batteries.

The WX439L motor produces 4100 rpm. But don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, and they don’t have a useful impact on the saw’s real-world ability to handle different material.

The BDCCS20C has a direct-drive motor. The WX439L has a direct drive motor. Direct-drive motors are usually lighter than other styles, but their side mounting makes the saw a little harder to control.

Blades & Capacity

The BDCCS20C takes 5 1/2” diameter saw blades and has a 5/8” arbor. The WX439L accepts 4 1/2” diameter blades and has a 3/8” arbor. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size of arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

Both circular saws can bevel the blade up to 45° and can cut up to 1 11/16” deep at a 90° angle. The BDCCS20C can cut up to 1 3/8” at a 45° angle. The WX439L can cut up to 1 1/8” deep at a 45° angle.

Both saws have the blade on the left side of the unit. Right-handers sometimes find it easier to see and control blades mounted to the left, while left-handers might find the same true for right-mounted blades.
