To obtain high cutting ability, using a simple configuration capable of maintaining increased compactness and low cost.

A bench circular saw, wherein a unit U extending from a motor 12 to a saw blade 16 is separated, as a separate body, inside a body 5, and the unit U is held inside the body 5 so as to be swingable in the front-rear direction at the lower limit position of the body 5. As a result, a wide cutting width can be obtained using a simple configuration whereby only the unit U is swung, without sliding the whole body 5 in the front-rear direction.
