All specs

Blade diameter
What this means

Blade diameter mainly sets how deep the saw can cut. Larger blades cut deeper, which matters for 2x lumber at a bevel and for thicker stock. Check the maker's listed cut depth at 90 and 45 degrees, and buy replacement blades in the stated diameter.

7-1/4 in
Max speed
What this means

Max speed is the top no-load speed, in RPM for rotating tools. No-load means the tool is running free, so speed drops once it is working. On drills, many makers list a figure per gear: high for small bits, low for control with large bits or long screws.

5,000 RPM
Max bevel
What this means

Max bevel is the largest angle the shoe can tilt for angled cuts, measured from square (0 degrees). Most saws reach at least 45 degrees; some go further, which helps with roof and stair work. Positive stops at common angles make repeat cuts quicker and more consistent.

50 degrees
Batteries in box
What this means

This lists how many batteries come in the box, if any. Tool-only (bare) listings include no battery or charger, which suits buyers already on that battery platform. Two batteries let you charge one while working with the other.

0from the box list
Battery capacity (each)
What this means

Amp-hours (Ah) is the battery's charge capacity. At the same voltage, a higher Ah pack runs longer between charges but is usually larger and heavier. Smaller packs keep the tool lighter for overhead and light work; larger packs suit saws, grinders and other high-draw tools.

None includedfrom the box list
Charger in box
What this means

This states whether a charger is included and which type. Chargers vary in output, so the same battery can take noticeably different times to charge on different chargers. Tool-only listings usually include no charger.

Nofrom the box list
Tool length
What this means

Tool length is the front-to-back measurement published by the maker. A shorter tool fits between studs, joists and inside cabinets more easily; standard US framing is 16 inches on center, leaving about 14-1/2 inches between studs. Check whether the figure includes the chuck or bit holder.

15.6 in
Warranty
What this means

This is the maker's published warranty term. Terms for tools, batteries and chargers often differ, and some depend on registration or exclude certain uses. Read the maker's terms for what is covered, how claims are handled and whether proof of purchase is required.

5 Year Limited Warranty (tool)
