The best Mini circular saws, compared.
Top pick: Enventor 580 W 115 mm – Highest score in this set for a corded 115 mm saw at about £42.89, with 0–43 mm and a 0–45° bevel stated, and 4.8 from 17 reviews. Best value: HYCHIKA 750 W corded – Lowest capture price at about £36.54, with 48 mm at 90° and 32 mm at 45° stated, if you can live with 17 reviews and the wattage clash. Updated October 2026.
A mini circular saw on amazon.co.uk is a small hand-held circular saw, usually 85 mm or 115 mm, for sheet goods, laminate, PVC and light cuts with the blade in the box. You want more control than a jigsaw and less saw than a 165–190 mm site saw. Judge a listing by the stated depth, the bore and a fence you can check on scrap. The 85 mm saws print 27 mm or 28.5 mm at 90°. The 115 mm class prints about 43–48 mm at 90°. An 18 mm sheet fits those stated depths. A 47 mm stud does not fit an 85 mm saw. Depth, blade diameter and corded or cordless are set out in the [mini circular saw buying guide](/hub/power-saws/mini-circular-saw/sub/mini-circular-saw-buying-guide). Depth at 90° comes first, then depth at 45° if you need a bevel. The last few millimetres of a stated maximum are a rule of thumb. States 48 mm at 90° and 32 mm at 45°. The 705 W states 42.8 mm and 28 mm.

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
How thick is the piece you cut most often?
The Enventor 76602-1 is a corded 115 mm saw at £42.89, with a stated depth of 0–43 mm and a 0–45° bevel. The title also prints 43 mm/29 mm, so the bevel depth sits on the title rather than in a separate bullet. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.8 from 17 reviews, the highest average in this set and still a small sample. The title says 580 W and 4,000 rpm, the details line says 3,700 rpm, and the included-components line says 1,300 W, so you cannot quote one power figure. The weight is 2.86 kg on the listing and 2.75 kg in a bullet. The kit is three 24T TCT blades with a 10 mm bore, a scale ruler and a vacuum adapter, and the bullets do not claim a laser or a diamond blade. It carries the highest score in this comparison, which makes it the top pick for a light 115 mm corded saw if you accept that 17 reviews and the conflicting wattage are part of the listing.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a corded 115 mm saw near a socket, with a printed bevel, and you can ignore a laser.
Less suitable: You need a diamond blade in the box, a large review sample, or one wattage figure you can quote.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this Enventor include a laser and a tile blade?
The bullets do not claim a laser or a diamond blade. The kit is three 24T TCT blades for wood, plastic, drywall, and PVC.
How deep is the cut?
The bullets say 0–43 mm with a 0–45° bevel. The title also prints 43 mm/29 mm.
Which power figure is printed?
The title says 580 W and 4,000 rpm. Included components say 1,300 W, and the details line says 3,700 rpm.
The WORKPRO W125388 is a 20 V kit at £129.99, the highest capture price here, with a 115 mm blade stated at 42.8 mm vertical and 28 mm on the bevel. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.7 from 25 reviews. The box includes a 4.0 Ah pack, a fast charger stated at about two hours, a 24T blade, a 60T blade, a diamond blade, a parallel guide, a dust tube and a bag. It weighs 4.39 kg and lists up to 4,500 rpm. A laser is claimed, and one UK review says it uses two LR44 cells rather than the 20 V pack, and that battery life on 12 mm ply was limited. Twenty-five reviews are not the same evidence as DOVAMAN’s 2,050. It is the cordless kit to consider when you want a battery in the box and can pay £129.99, and a weak buy if you need a measured runtime or a laser that runs off the main pack.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cordless 115 mm kit with a battery, a charger and a diamond blade, and £129.99 is acceptable.
Less suitable: You are beside a socket, you need a long proven review history, or you expected the laser to run from the main pack.
Specifications
Common questions
Does the WORKPRO include a battery?
Yes. The listing includes a 20 V 4.0 Ah pack and a fast charger, stated at about two hours.
How deep is the bevel?
The listing states up to 42.8 mm vertical and 28 mm on the bevel.
What powers the laser?
A laser is claimed. One UK review says it uses two LR44 cells, not the 20 V pack, and that battery life on 12 mm ply was limited.
The DCA ADMY125 is a 20 V brushless kit at £89.99 with a 125 mm blade, stated at 45 mm at 0° and 33 mm at 45°, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.5 from 26 reviews. The bullets include one 4.0 Ah pack, a 2 A charger, three TCT blades, a parallel guide and a bag. The details line says two 12 V batteries are required and included, so the box contents are not one sentence. No laser is stated. A UK review says the 0° mark was several degrees out and that the depth scale, though coarse, was usable. It weighs 4.56 kg and lists both 4,200 rpm and 6,700 rpm. It is the lower-priced complete cordless kit in this set, and you should square the bevel before you trust the moulded 0°.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a cordless kit with a battery in the box and a stated cut past 40 mm, and you will check the bevel with a square.
Less suitable: You want one voltage line, a laser, or a review count in the hundreds.
Specifications
Common questions
Is the battery in the box?
The bullets include one 4.0 Ah pack and a 2 A charger. The details line says two 12 V batteries are required and included. Those lines disagree.
How deep does it cut?
The listing states 45 mm at 0° and 33 mm at 45° with a 125 mm blade.
Is the bevel scale square?
A UK review says the 0° mark was several degrees out and that the depth scale, though coarse, was usable. Check it with a square.
The DOVAMAN MCS01A is a corded 710 W, 115 mm saw at £69.32, stated at 43 mm at 90° and 29 mm at 45°, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 2,050 reviews, the largest count in this set. The metal auxiliary handle mounts on the left or the right. The box lists two 24T blades, two 60T blades, a tile blade, an edge guide and a vacuum adapter. It weighs 4.03 kg and runs at 3,500 rpm on 230 V. UK reviews describe a right-angle hose that gets in the way, and a preference for a straight hose. The cable length and the bore are not printed. It is the 115 mm corded saw with the strongest review evidence here, at a higher price than the Enventor 115 mm rows, and the dust hose is the complaint that keeps coming back.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a corded 115 mm saw whose UK review count is large enough to read as a pattern, and you can swap the hose.
Less suitable: You want the lowest price, a stated cable length, or dust extraction that reviewers already like.
Specifications
Common questions
How deep does the MCS01A cut on a bevel?
The listing states 43 mm at 90° and 29 mm at 45°.
Can the extra handle go on the left?
Yes. The bullets say the metal auxiliary handle mounts on the left or the right.
What do reviews say about dust extraction?
A vacuum adapter is in the box. UK reviews describe a right-angle hose that gets in the way, and a preference for a straight hose.
The GALAX PRO 76601 is a corded 580 W, 85 mm saw at £42.99, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.4 from 191 reviews. One bullet states 28.5 mm of cut and another states 27 mm for brick, wood and soft metal, so the depth is not a single figure. No 45° depth is printed. The listing claims a laser and a guide rule, and the UK reviews split: one owner calls the laser a hindrance and another says it matched straight cuts. The box is three 85 mm blades, a 24T TCT, a 44T HSS and a diamond, plus a hex key and a manual, with no dust hose listed. It weighs 2.6 kg and runs at 3,500 rpm on 230 V. It suits thin sheet near a socket, and it is a poor match if you need a printed bevel or a depth you can quote without choosing between 27 mm and 28.5 mm.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You cut 18 mm sheet or laminate near a socket and you will check the laser on scrap.
Less suitable: You need a stated bevel, a single depth figure, or a hose in the box.
Specifications
Common questions
How deep does the GALAX PRO cut?
One bullet says 28.5 mm. Another says 27 mm for brick, wood, and soft metal. No 45° depth is printed.
Does the kit include a dust hose?
The package list is the saw, three 85 mm blades, a hex key, a guide rule, and a manual. No hose is listed.
Is the laser accurate?
The listing claims a laser. In the UK reviews, one owner calls it a hindrance and another says it matched straight cuts. Check it on scrap.
The Enventor 76604 is a corded 705 W, 115 mm saw at £49.99, stated at 42.8 mm at 90° and 28 mm at 45°, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 335 reviews. The box lists six 115 mm blades, two each of 24T, 60T and diamond, plus a rip guide and a dust hose. It weighs 3.82 kg, states 3,500 rpm, 230 V and a 2 m cable. A laser is claimed, and UK reviews include a laser that stopped, a line that could not be seen in daylight, and a base mount described as flimsy. The details line mentions a battery on a tool the bullets describe as corded. The bore is not printed. It is a workable 115 mm corded option when you want six blades and a stated bevel depth, and a poor one if you need the laser to stay visible outdoors.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a corded 115 mm saw with wood and diamond blades in the box and a printed 45° depth.
Less suitable: You work in daylight and need the laser, or you want a bore size on the listing.
Specifications
Common questions
How deep is the bevel cut?
The listing states 42.8 mm at 90° and 28 mm at 45°.
Does the laser stay reliable?
A laser is claimed. UK reviews include a laser that stopped, a line that could not be seen in daylight, and a base mount described as flimsy.
Is it cordless?
No. It is corded, 230 V, with a 2 m cable stated. The details line also mentions a battery, which the bullets do not support.
The HYCHIKA AC1802 is a corded 230 V saw listed at £36.54, the lowest capture price in this set, with a stated cut of 48 mm at 90° and 32 mm at 45°. Amazon.co.uk shows 4.2 from 17 reviews, a small sample beside DOVAMAN’s 2,050. The title says 750 W and 3,500 rpm, while the included-components line says 1 x 1,300 W circular saw, so the motor figure is not settled on the page. It weighs 4.5 kg, heavier than the 2.5–2.9 kg 85 mm saws, and the bullets describe a scale ruler rather than a laser. One UK review says they do not think it has a laser, and that the guide rule is 12 cm. The box lists a 24T blade, a 60T blade, a diamond blade, two vacuum adapters and a 2 m cable. In this set it is the best value when you want the deepest stated corded cut for the lowest price and you can live with 17 reviews and the wattage clash.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the deepest stated corded cut in this set and the lowest capture price, and you will check the wattage line before you rely on it.
Less suitable: You want a large review count, a laser, or a saw under 3 kg.
Specifications
Common questions
How deep does the HYCHIKA cut?
The listing states 48 mm at 90° and 32 mm at 45°. It does not state a bore size.
Does it include a laser?
The bullets describe a scale ruler, not a laser. One UK review says they do not think it has a laser, and that the guide rule is 12 cm.
Is the motor 750 W or 1,300 W?
The title says 750 W. The included-components line says 1 x 1,300 W circular saw. The capture does not resolve that.
The Enventor 76601L-1 is a corded 580 W, 85 mm saw at £49.99, stated at 0–27 mm at 90°, and amazon.co.uk shows 4.1 from 986 reviews, the second-largest count here. The blades are printed as 85 mm with a 10 mm bore, in 24T, 44T and diamond, and the box adds a rip guide and a dust hose. A laser is claimed. UK reviews say the line can sit about 3 mm off the kerf and that the guide does not match the cut. It weighs 2.5 kg, states a 2 m cable and 4,000 rpm, and does not print a bevel depth. A 47 mm stud is deeper than the 27 mm claim. It is the 85 mm saw with the longest review history in this set, and a weak choice if you need the laser to land on a pencil line without a scrap check.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want an 85 mm corded saw with a printed bore and a large UK review count for sheet and laminate.
Less suitable: You need a bevel, a stud cross-cut, or a laser you can follow without checking it on scrap.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it cut a 47 mm stud?
The listing states 0–27 mm at 90°. It does not state a bevel depth. A 47 mm stud is deeper than that claim.
Does the laser follow the blade?
The listing claims a laser. UK reviews say the line can be about 3 mm off and that the guide does not match the kerf.
What is the blade bore?
The blades are printed as 85 mm with a 10 mm bore.
The JOJOCY S2026513-01 is a bare 6 inch saw at £58.99 with 150 mm and 125 mm blades, and amazon.co.uk shows 3.8 from 8 reviews. The listing says up to 50 mm at 90°, then that a 150 mm blade cuts timber under 48 mm and a 125 mm blade cuts timber under 25 mm, and it states a 0–45° bevel without a 45° depth. It claims compatibility with a Makita 18 V battery and says the battery is not included. It is not sold as an OEM Makita tool. The box adds gloves and goggles, a review says there is no cutting guide, and a vacuum port is stated. It weighs 2.4 kg and lists 6,300 rpm. It is larger than the 85 mm and 115 mm saws here, and eight reviews are too few to treat the 3.8 average as a settled result.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own a Makita 18 V pack and you want a 150 mm bare saw after the seller confirms the fit.
Less suitable: You wanted an 85 mm or 115 mm mini saw with a battery, a fence, or a review count you can lean on.
Specifications
Common questions
Is a Makita battery included?
No. The listing says the saw is compatible with a Makita 18 V battery and that the battery is not included. It is not sold as an OEM Makita tool.
How deep is the cut?
The listing says up to 50 mm at 90°. It also says a 150 mm blade cuts timber under 48 mm and a 125 mm blade cuts timber under 25 mm.
Is this an 85 mm mini saw?
No. The title is a 6 inch saw with 150 mm and 125 mm blades. It is larger than the 85 mm and 115 mm saws in this set.
The HuuppHip S-CircularSaw-01 is a bare 5 inch saw at £58.99, and amazon.co.uk shows 3.7 from 16 reviews. The listing says tools only and claims fit with named DeWalt 18 V and 21 V packs, including DCB200, DCB203, DCB204, DCB206, DCB201, DCB230 and DCB240. One UK review says it does not work with DeWalt PowerStack batteries. The bullets say 48 mm at 90° and 33 mm at 45°, while the title says 1.6 inch and 1.28 inch, and the details line also prints 500 W beside a 5,500 rpm claim. One review says the base bolt allows lateral slop, and that the saw stalls and uses a lot of battery. It weighs 2.51 kg and the box is the saw plus two blades. It only makes sense if a pack you already own is one the listing and that review both accept.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already own a DeWalt pack that is not a PowerStack, and you can confirm the fit before you rely on the depth line.
Less suitable: You need a battery in the box, a single depth figure, or a saw with more than 16 reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Does it include a DeWalt battery?
No. The listing says tools only. It claims fit with named DeWalt 18 V and 21 V packs. One UK review says it does not work with DeWalt PowerStack batteries.
Which depth is printed?
The bullets say 48 mm at 90° and 33 mm at 45°. The title says 1.6 inch at 90° and 1.28 inch at 45°.
What do the reviews say about the shoe?
One review says the base bolt allows lateral slop, and that the saw stalls and uses a lot of battery.
Shelf prices, stars and review counts are the ten amazon.co.uk listings captured on 20 October 2026, from about £36.54 to £129.99, plus the review themes on those pages. Products Compared did not lab-test these saws. The highest score is the top pick, once. Best value is the separate award on the lowest-priced corded saw with the deepest stated cut. Weights sum to 100.
Depth at 90° and bevel
30%Stated depth at 90° comes first, then depth at 45° if a bevel is printed. An 18 mm sheet fits the depths in this set. A 47 mm stud does not fit an 85 mm saw. The last few millimetres of a stated maximum are a rule of thumb.
Blade, bore and material
20%Diameter and bore decide whether a spare fits. A 10 mm bore on these Enventor blades is not the 9.5 mm DeWalt DCS571, which is not in this set. TCT, HSS and diamond name a blade. No listing states a steel thickness.
Corded, kit or bare tool
20%A corded 230 V saw is complete beside a socket. DCA and WORKPRO include a 4.0 Ah pack and a charger. HuuppHip and JOJOCY do not. The platform claim is the seller’s, not an OEM fit.
Amazon evidence
15%Stars sit beside the review count. DOVAMAN is 4.4 from 2,050 reviews. A 4.8 from 17 reviews is the highest average here and still a small sample. A thin file does not score like a file of 2,000 reviews.
Guide and listing clashes
15%A fence you can check matters more than a laser. UK reviews on the Enventor 85 mm put the laser about 3 mm off the kerf. Wattage, rpm, voltage and depth lines that disagree on the same page are deducted.
A mini circular saw on these amazon.co.uk listings is usually an 85 mm or 115 mm hand-held saw for sheet, laminate, PVC and other light cuts. Ten models remain after two misfits were set aside: an Enventor 185 mm saw and a Dremel. Prices in this capture run about £36.54 to £129.99. The choice is depth, then blade and bore, then whether the box is a corded saw, a kit, or a bare tool.
A mini circular saw, in this comparison, is a small hand-held circular saw. On these amazon.co.uk listings the usual diameters are 85 mm and 115 mm. You use it for sheet goods, laminate, PVC and other light cuts with the blade in the box. Buyers want more control than a jigsaw and less saw than a 165–190 mm site saw. This page did not lab-test any saw. Depth at 90° comes first, then depth at 45° if you need a bevel. An 18 mm sheet fits the stated depths here.
The Enventor 85 mm states 0–27 mm. The GALAX PRO prints 28.5 mm and 27 mm. A 47 mm stud is deeper than either claim. The 115 mm class is the one that prints about 43–48 mm at 90°.
UK reviews on the Enventor 85 mm say the laser can sit about 3 mm off the kerf. GALAX PRO reviews split on whether the laser helps. Check the line on scrap. A laser is not a fence.
No listing here states a steel, aluminium or porcelain thickness. Soft metal and tile name a blade. Do not assume every DeWalt or Makita pack fits a bare tool, and do not skip a wattage line that disagrees with the title.
Depth at 90° is the first check, set against the thickest piece you will cut. In this set the 85 mm saws print 27 mm or 28.5 mm. The 115 mm class prints about 43–48 mm. An 18 mm sheet fits those stated depths. A 47 mm stud does not fit an 85 mm saw. The last few millimetres of a stated maximum are a rule of thumb. A bevel is a second figure. HYCHIKA states 32 mm at 45°. The Enventor 705 W states 28 mm. DOVAMAN states 29 mm.
Blade diameter and bore decide the spare you can buy later. The 85 mm Enventor blades print a 10 mm bore, and the Enventor 115 mm 580 W set does too. DeWalt’s UK DCS571, which is not in this set, uses 9.5 mm. Do not assume a spare from another brand fits. Several other rows do not print a bore at all. Match the tooth to the material the listing names. TCT is the wood blade. HSS or a fine tooth is what these pages point at for plastic and soft metal.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You cut 18 mm sheet or laminate beside a mains socket. A corded 85 mm saw matches that thickness. The Enventor 580 W 85 mm at about £49.99 states 0–27 mm and has 4.1 from 986 reviews, with a 10 mm bore printed. UK reviews put the laser about 3 mm off the kerf, so check it on scrap.
A 47 mm stud does not fit an 85 mm saw, and a bevel needs a printed 45° depth. The Enventor 580 W 115 mm at about £42.89 states 0–43 mm and a 0–45° bevel. It is the top pick for a light corded 115 mm saw. The title also prints 580 W against a 1,300 W components line, and the review file is 17.
Without a socket, or without a DeWalt or Makita pack you already trust, buy a kit rather than a bare tool. The DCA 20 V kit at about £89.99 lists a 4.0 Ah pack and a charger, with 45 mm at 0° stated. A UK review says the 0° mark was several degrees out. Square it before you trust the scale.
The top pick is the Enventor 580 W 115 mm at about £42.89, because it carries the highest score for a light corded 115 mm saw with 0–43 mm and a 0–45° bevel stated. Best value is the HYCHIKA at about £36.54, the lowest capture price, with 48 mm at 90° and 32 mm at 45° stated. Both awards sit on small review files of 17, and both listings clash on wattage, so neither average is a lab win. Bare tools at about £58.99 still need a battery.
Enventor 580 W 115 mm
Highest score in this set for a corded 115 mm saw at about £42.89, with 0–43 mm and a 0–45° bevel stated, and 4.8 from 17 reviews.
HYCHIKA 750 W corded
Lowest capture price at about £36.54, with 48 mm at 90° and 32 mm at 45° stated, if you can live with 17 reviews and the wattage clash.
