Thanks for testing this out and showing us how it works! Great review Thomas!

I like your videos, you do a very good job! Keep it like this.

The only test about a freud sawblade attached to a cordless handsaw i could find. Thank you for that!

Good video thomasz. I recently bought a good sawblade for my budget tablesaw. I noticed a huge diffrence in sound. But it also cuts timber and plywood much better now. Thanks!

Do It Yourself, craziness, weird, interesting, looking forward to additional content.

Great video.. Thank you

I think what may make a difference is a thinner kerf blade. The kerf on this Freud looks to be 2.4mm, which is reasonably thick for these small battery saws. You can get down to 1.5mm on some blades at this size and that means there is less mass for the saw to spin and less blade to force through the material. Less teeth would also be good, but the. You compromise cut quality I suppose.

A good follow up test and once again proves you get what you pay for 😀

Thanks for your honesty great video 🍺🍺👍👍👍👍

Lidl, here in the UK are selling a raft of Parkside equipment at present, including the 4ah battery for £25, I got one, have yet to try it.

I have one of these too. I actually bought It to cross cut full plywood boards (to fit In my car) from my wood supply shop that does not cut to length there products. I just pull out the saw In the parking lot and cut away 😀 Works great for that although I plan to fit a CMT Orange Tools 150x1.6x20 ITK (thin) saw blade and see how that works. It needs more power on Its own and maybe a 4amp battery would benefit a bit but If you don´t go overkill on the thickness of what you need to cut, It does ok. Thanks, great help as all your videos.

I think doing this test with the 4ah battery would be an interesting comparison

Hey Thomas from all us Parksiders in 🇮🇪👍

Well.... Now I've GOT to buy one. I think I only have to wait a year before they come around again. :-/ Good show!

Perhaps the issue is more about the power of the saw rather than the blade. As you said the cut was cleaner with the Freud but both blades faltered in the cutting tests. The Hikoki you tested it against was brushless which would make it significantly more powerful than the Parkside (and more expensive).

A great test again. I only use Freud blades myself, even in my Evolution mitre saw. The finish is so much better. For a little cordless saw I think it performed as well as you can expect and still a useful tool for small jobs etc.

Super...big like !!!

Hi, I bought a parkside cordless hand held circular saw and made about 5-6 cuts and then it stopped working but the laser works and the battery is fine. Please don't know what to do with it?

Just used the same saw to cut a 40mm worktop. Did it in 3 passes. Used old blade which was a mistake. Getting a new blade before I make another cut. Chipout is a problem. Would like to see your take on this. Peter

You should test the aldi ferrex range against lidl range, that would be interesting! Iv got a ferrex impact driver which has been good but the workzone combi drill I got from aldi is a bit rubbish and underpowered - I used it last weekend to drill two holes through brick to hang a new security light and it struggled like mad! So now I'm on the hunt for a well priced cordless range that actually does the job.. Upto now erbauer/ryobi/bosch/hikoki are the brands I'm looking at.

My 20v parkside saw broke in just a few minutes of use. Very sad because I really needed one in my hobby projects.

Hi. Thanks for the follow up test. How much is the Freud blade and do you recommend buying one as I do like my parkside saw but fed up with the cheap blades going blunt quickly.

Use a bigger ah battery had the same problem on the battery grinder now cuts like butter

Hi, Tomasz. The Freud blade wont compensate for the lack of power in the Parkside saw. Both blades would perform a lot better in a different saw. The freud blade will probably cost more than the circular saw too. Love your videos , your enthusiasm is the best part thankyou.

Hard to compare cheap brands to better quality ones, budget dictates the purchase I suppose 🍻👍

I noticed you wore a different shirt for each blade, did this affect performance?

It would be interesting to the difference between 2ah battery and 4ah battery 😊

Hi, I bought a Parkside cordless circular saw but I can't find the Freud blade that you show in the video. Can you add it to your Amazon shop list? Thanks!

What's the max width for the blades? I'm struggling to find many 150mm width blades

I think the problems are more with the saw itself, not the blade, It just doesn't have the guts to power through, whichever blade you use. It's a useful saw if you accept its' limitations

Great tests and info. I'm expecting to receive the saw on Monday and already looking into buying an alternate disc. Was looking forward to buying a Freud, but a bit disheartened. Are there any other brands you could recommend please ???

You should try all 3 together with bigger 4ah battery

have you used it with the 4ah battery may be you would get more power

The 4ah battery will make a big big difference, the 2ah are OK for light job's with the lighter duty tools, in general the battery protection system in the batteries are a bit on the safe side, there certainly no Milwaukee but their under half the price so 🤷‍♂️

I note that you failed to adjust blade depth correctly for the thinner materials cuts, potentiallly affecting the performance. Flawed test?

did you get the bigger battery for the test - may not have stopped

logical that the circular saw stops. The 2 amp Parkside battery is not enough for a circle saw you need the Parkside 4 amp or 5 amp battery.

Good reviews....and interesting results ...would just think to be fair to the parkside saw you should be using a 4ah battery

What are the specs of the blade in that saw? 190 mm? 20mm bore? Tooth pitch....15’? Thanks

4amp battery or the new 8 amp will work much better

My mind is made up-it has to be Makita-never lets you down, goes for year after year. It's cheaper in the long run to buy the best tools you can afford-you won't have to keep on buying cheap alternatives every few months. My Makita angle grinder is 4 years old and gets a lot of work yet still performs like new.

The tear out was much better with the feud...

Looks as though lidl will be selling a few of their bare 20v tools from the 26th of March including this circular saw. www.lidl.co.uk/en/c/c1406 I'd be interested in how it performs with the 4Ah battery over the 2Ah as the cells are in parallel so should be able to provide more current and therefore power to the motor. Btw like your videos so I've just subbed

some say that with a 4Ah battery the parkside has more power

i think we need to understand what a tool is supposed to do and what are its limits .... i don't think you had realistic expectations for this little cordless saw :)

I dont think you can expect much better than what you got here with a 2.0amp battery.. Any brushed saw on a 2.0amp battery will be poor, in my view this did remarkably well.. A 4.0amp battery is needed for the big motors running a circular saw.. 4.amp batterys have more current availible to the motor .. I would never use a small battery on a saw like that, you will shorten the life of the battery in no time..

Circular blades don't cut around corners. Obviously, your freehand cuts are wobbling from side to side. Each time the whole surface area of the blade is being force wedged into contact with the stock causing huge friction and you're depending only on the riving knife to keep you safe from kickback. ( if fitted ) Anyway, properly running the saw along a track or a straight edge batten may allow for relevant testing and may even stop your saw stalling. PS I use only Freud blades and I think they're more than top notch for 99% of DIY people... They're not too expensive and there are always good deals available if you shop around. It's a time saver to have a brand you can automatically trust.

Great reviews. However, I think I can see why your tool isn't performing as well as it should. Your bettery! It's a piece of junk! Those 2Ah batteries are okay for low drain tools or where space is tight e.g. drilling inside a cabinet. You see, the current draw of a circular saw is greater than what those puny 2Ah batteries can provide. I am pretty certain that on each occasion where the saw stopped, the fault wasn't the blade or the motor but the battery's inability to deliver the power required. Do this, and the previous test with the Hitachi, with a 4Ah battery (or 8Ah, of which more in a moment) and you'll see the difference. For the reason just given I don't own any 2Ah batteries, coz they're a waste of time. Parkside now have a range of Performance batteries that are not yet on sale in the U.K. These Performance battery packs are backwards compatible with the X20 series batteries like the one you used in the video, but offer greater current draw AND twice the capacity in a casing pretty much the same size as the X20 battery packs. So that means you could have an 8Ah battery that's the same size as current 4Ah batteries. Change the batteries and use the thinner blue Expert range of Bosch blades and you're gonna see a vast improvement in performance. Regards Paul

I performs better with 4Ah battery!

The Freud made all the difference. Now can you test cutting with just the Freud, and not the Parkside? :-D

Super, widać różnice. Ciekawe jak by szła z bateria 8ah
