1. DeWalt DCS570B
No matter what saw you use, a diamond blade is required for stone. You won’t find every saw that comes with a blade made of diamonds, so make sure to have one. The DeWalt DCS670B comes with a brushless motor and can run at up to 5200 RPM.
The stone material will not be matched once the blade is paired with a pair of diamond blades. The blade will also maintain speed under load and the power tool works with batteries within the 20V line.
The corded electric circular saw can cut more bevel angles than most for versatility.
What We Like
- Brushless motor
- Blade speeds of 5200 RPM
- Part of the 20V line
- Maintains speed under load
- Adjustable bevel capacity
- It is simple to use
2. Inland Craft DB-100
A band saw is the next type of saw that can be used with stone. The Inland Craft DB-100 includes a diamond blade that can be used to cut stone, tile, ceramic, etc. As opposed to a circular saw, the band saw is highly recommended by our team for more intricate and detailed cuts.
The DC motor has variable speed options and can power the saw blade up to 3400 RPM. Whats amazing about the DB-100 is the coolant system that delivers a regular flow of water to the blade to keep it lubricated and cool.
The saw is compact and small and comes with a 1-year warranty.

- Excellent for precision
- Comes with a diamond blade
- 1-year warranty
- DC motor
- Variable speed options

4. Makita XSH08Z
Our expert contractors close off the list with another circular saw model. This powerful saw can deliver up to 6000 RPM, which is on the high end in terms of speed. The BL brushless motor will run cooler than other types and last for much longer.
The Makita XSH08Z cordless is a great option if you want to get the most for your money. It gives you a wider range of motion as you are not limited by the length of the cord, but the blades will need to be replaced to go head to head with stone, cement, and concrete .
