Overview

Running on a 20 volt battery platform, Circular's 97630L saw reaches a rated no-load speed of 3400 RPM, with alloy steel used in its build. It holds a 4.5 out of 5 rating across 203 reviews.

Cordless saws in this voltage class trade outright power for portability, and 3400 RPM places this one in a typical range for a 20 volt circular saw rather than a corded, high-torque model. Blade diameter and cut depth are not listed, so match the blade to the job you actually need. Alloy steel is named as a material but the listing does not say which parts it covers.

  • Power source: battery powered
  • Voltage: 20 volts
  • No-load speed: 3400 RPM
  • Material: alloy steel

Who it's for

This fits someone already invested in a 20 volt battery platform who wants a cordless saw for occasional cuts around the home or job site. It is less suited to a buyer who needs sustained, high-volume ripping where a corded saw's steady power matters more than portability.

Performance notes

At 3400 RPM the blade speed sits in a normal band for cordless circular saws of this voltage, which generally favors quick, lighter cuts over prolonged heavy-duty ripping. Battery-powered tools in this class also depend heavily on the battery's amp-hour rating for cuts per charge, a figure this listing does not include.
