Product Overview

The SKIL PWR CORE 20™ 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw Kit (CR540602) is built for efficient, cordless cutting in wood, trim, and sheet goods. Designed for DIYers and light-duty pros, this kit includes the 20V circular saw, a PWR CORE™ 20 4.0Ah battery, and a standard charger, offering plenty of power and runtime right out of the box.

The 6-1/2 in. blade delivers a 2-1/8 in. cutting depth, with a 0–50° bevel capacity for angled cuts. The saw features an integrated dust port, electric brake, and LED light, making it easy to work safely and cleanly in various environments. The brushless motor helps extend tool life and increase cutting efficiency, even on dense materials.

What sets this saw apart is SKIL’s PWR CORE™ battery system, which includes a built-in cooling system and USB charging port, allowing you to charge devices on the go—a nice bonus for jobsite multitaskers.
