## Description

Sawing through lumber for a construction job can be tedious, but not when you’re working with Ridgid. Their brushless circular saw, the Gen5X R8653, is a lumber slicing behemoth with plenty of features packed onto its metal encased motor that will improve your jobsite experience. On top of the 3,800 RPM pushed out with its powerful motor, you get to harness it with a fully adjustable foot. You can select a bevel angle up to 56 degrees, letting you cut much more than simple straight planks. You can also change the depth, which is important to reduce lumber kickback. On top of those handy adjustment options, there are a couple items on this saw that improve working visibility. An LED light near the front will shine on your subject while casting minimal shadow, letting you work in dimmer environments than usual. Additionally, a blower attached to the side will keep sawdust away, so you can see any markings you’ve made on the wood so you can cut straighter lines. On top of all of these, this also has Ridgid’s micro texture surface found on their other 18V tools, giving you maximum power in slippery conditions. The R8653 circular saw has the power and features both the homeowner and professional need to get a job done right.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool, Great price..
*by R***R on June 18, 2021*

I'm a corded power tool guy, but thought this was a good way to dip into the cordless world without spending to much money. I like the idea of getting a thoroughly tested item and giving second chances lol. Tool works fine,exceptional run time. Use a good blade, if you want any kind of decent performance. Far exceeds what I spent in terms of cutting ability & run time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real good saw
*by C***S on April 2, 2023*

I've been a big fan of and sold ridgid tools for many years. Mitre stops. Bevel and depth change is super easy. Allen key built in. Extremely good quality for the price.

### ⭐ Buyer Beware!
*by R***. on March 1, 2023*

Great tool, quick shipment, packed in original box. BEWARE that there is NO WARRANTY whatsoever from Ridgid if purchased from this seller since they are a 3rd party reseller and not directly from Home Depot even though it was packeged in original unopened packaging and delivered in Home Depot shipping box from Amazon. NO WARRANTY, NOT EVEN THE STANDARD 3 YEAR, MUCH LESS THE LIFETIME
