The Ryobi PBLCS300B is an 18V ONE+ HP brushless 7-1/4 in. circular saw designed for cordless ripping and crosscutting of dimensional lumber, plywood, and sheet goods. The brushless motor spins the blade at up to 5,300 RPM and cuts up to 2-7/16 in. deep at 90 degrees and 1-3/4 in. deep at 45 degrees, covering the vast majority of framing and finish carpentry tasks. A bevel capacity of 0 to 56 degrees provides extra range beyond the standard 45-degree stops found on most saws in this class. This is a bare-tool listing — no battery or charger is included — and ships with a 7-1/4 in. carbide-tipped blade. It is a Home Depot exclusive.
Does the PBLCS300B come with a battery?
No. The PBLCS300B is a bare tool — it ships with a 7-1/4 in. carbide blade but no battery or charger. You will need at least one Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery and a compatible charger to operate it. If you need battery and charger, consider the PBLCS300K1 kit.
What batteries are compatible with the PBLCS300B?
Any Ryobi 18V ONE+ battery is compatible, including the standard series (1.5 Ah, 2.0 Ah, 4.0 Ah) and the HIGH PERFORMANCE series (2.0 Ah, 4.0 Ah, 6.0 Ah). For sustained cutting through thick lumber, a 4.0 Ah or 6.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE battery is recommended to maximize runtime.
Is the PBLCS300B a brushless saw?
Yes. It uses a brushless motor, which is more efficient than a brushed motor — producing more power per battery charge, running cooler during extended cuts, and requiring less maintenance over the life of the tool.
What is the difference between the PBLCS300B and the PBLCS300K1?
The PBLCS300B is the bare tool only, while the PBLCS300K1 is the kit version that bundles the same saw with an 18V 4.0 Ah HIGH PERFORMANCE battery and an 18V charger. The specs and included blade are identical — the only difference is what is in the box.
What is the maximum cutting depth of the PBLCS300B?
At 90 degrees the saw cuts up to 2-7/16 in. (2.4375 in.) deep, which is enough to cut through standard 2x dimensional lumber. At a 45-degree bevel the maximum depth drops to 1-3/4 in. The bevel range extends to 56 degrees for extra-angled compound cuts.
