We’ll take a look at these two circular saws: the DeWalt DWE575SB and the Worx WX429L.

Features & Benefits

For more information, read more in our roundup of the best compact circular saws and the best full-size circular saws.

Power & Motor

Both products are corded and require 120 V. The DWE575SB draws 15 amps. The WX429L draws 4 amps. In the U.S., standard residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the saws.

The DWE575SB motor produces 5200 rpm and the WX429L motor produces 3500 rpm. Don’t pay too much attention to these numbers, because the manufacturers measure them under no-load conditions, so they don’t have a useful impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

The DWE575SB has a direct-drive motor. The WX429L 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 DWE575SB takes 7 1/4” diameter saw blades and has a 5/8” arbor. The WX429L 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 arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The DWE575SB can bevel up to 57°, is able to cut up to 2 9/16” deep at an angle of 90°, and can cut up to 2” at 45°. The WX429L can bevel the blade up to 45°, will cut up to 1 11/16” deep at a 90° angle, and is able to cut up to 1 1/8” at an angle of 45°.

When beveling the saw, most circular saws will have positive stops at common angles such as 45° and 90°. This ensures you are making precise cuts. Some saws have additional stops at other angles.

The DeWalt has stops at 22.5°, 45°.

The DeWalt has the blade on the right side of the saw. The Worx has 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.
