I think you might find a small table saw is more versatile. You will get straighter cuts than can be achieved with a circular saw, blade accessories will let you cut dados, and angle cuts for prettier joints.

Yes, you will still have to plug it in.

I really don't have the space for a table saw. The tool will live in the spare bedroom closet for 350 days a year, and see action for the other 15...

There's the Bosch 18V-08N, which is cordless, and 0.6m square...

Damn you now I'm researching table saws. The cheapest "brand name" one I can find is Bosch GTS 635-216 at 400 euros. Compared to 120 for a corded or 300 for a battery-powered circular saw...

Don't go cheap on a tool like this, it will just give you aggravation.

Also, the cheaper ones can't always accept a dado stack...
