Had one a few years now absolutely brilliant saw! Few teething problems like the zero not lining up with the cut and a wonky shoe but it ripssss

I just picked one up today during Lowe's Spring Black Friday Sale and it has a rafter hook. Mine was the bare tool.

I have this saw and I’m yet to find a task it can’t do I do a lot of basic framing and some sheet cutting and it flys through these tasks with the included blades runtime is okay on 4ah batteries too I had the old Ni-cd saw before the lithium XR tools and it wasn’t anything to write home about but this is as as good as an 240/110v saw I imagine that the FlexVolt saws are an absolute beast

Hello from Brazil and thanks for the review! Almost no one said that the base of the saw is Aluminium... thanks for this!

I have the flex volt and it's a beast.

I like this nice review Brian.

AGREED! returned my 20v and picked up the 60v w/ 2 batteries for$299 on Amazon.

Very Cool! Nice to see Dewalt put something out for the ppl who didint upgrade to Flexvolt. I'm sure the 20v ppl are very pleased it seems to have good power #WorkshopAddict

I didn't upgrade to the flexvolt line, so I guess this saw is for me.

Very nice looking saw. I have an old Dewalt 18v NiCd battery powered saw, and definitely in need of an upgrade, it has seen better days. Replacement will either be a Milwaukee or Dewalt. Thanks for the video, excellent work, as always!!! #WorkshopAddict

Thanks for answering my question about running with the 60v battery. I have worked with both platforms just not at the same time. I have the 20v now and i make it work but miss the what i remembered more power of the 60v. I just got a free 60v battery coming in the mail so ill be able to do my own test. Looks like i might be pulling the trigger and buying the 60v saw being ill now have 2 batteries. That's what kept me from getting it from the get go. You have to have 2 batteries.

I got the DCS572N (guide rail "compatible" version. I'm happy with the saw, but wasted £40 on a makita guide rail thinkng they were universal I was impatient and just lived with it, cut the excess off the makita guide rail. now I have a wobbly saw and expensive straight edge

Good review! #WorkshopAddict

How does it compare it power to a regular 15amp saw? I have a DeWalt sidewinder that I use on regular basis. Anyone have both and can compare?

I want one 😩

So, I've got DeWalt 18v older tools and newer 20v Milwaukee but no Milwaukee saw, still use the 18v DeWalt-customized and non OSHA approved ... for ease of use and better fine/shaving cuts. I'm stuck, do I go with DeWalt, known excellent saw or Milwaukee? Help.....#workshopaddict

I have the old 18v 6 1/5 saw and all the 18v line, but I'm slowly switching to 20v so I decided to get this 20v 7 1/4 saw, it's okay, in not expecting to do like corded would. My only reason to this saw it's because cutting depth and cheaper blade. Thanks for the review.

It is the same as 18V (in Sweden, they are called 18V - the exact same saw and battery). 20V is just a merketing gimmic for the US.

when will this saw be out in stores??

That is interesting that you noticed a difference in power, because on paper they are basically the same. Dewalt lists the DCS570B as being a 900W saw. The 60v version they list as being 15A. 15A * 60V = 900W.

@jpslattery7344

Perhaps it's a mistake or DeWalt did that to show it comparably to a corded version because the maximum watts out of the Flexvolt is 1600 compared to 900 for the XR. The worm drive style, rear handled saw is max 2400 watts out.

Just how much more is a "significant increase in runtime"? I have the flexvolt and like it, but am seriously considering swapping to its little brother if the runtime is truly that much better.

@WorkshopAddict

I think you misunderstood what we are saying. Just prior to saying the Flexvolt battery gives this saw a significant increase in runtime, we were talking about how the 20-volt does not have the same power as the Flexvolt. We never compared runtime from the 20-volt to the Flextvolt, we only stated that using the Flexvolt battery on the 20-volt saw gives the 20-volt saw a significant increase in runtime over the 20-volt 5.0 Ah battery.

Okay great, thank you. In your experience though, do you think the 20v saw with a flexvolt battery would last noticeably longer than the FV saw? I don't really mind the loss in power, but work a lot of off grid jobsites and am not super pleased with the FV's runtime

@WorkshopAddict

6 жыл бұрын

If you are cutting smaller pieces and not stressing the saw, Yes, the 20 volt max might last longer. It all comes down to watt output as the battery you are using (FlexVolt) has the same watt hours in 60 volt or 20 volt. So my guess is the watt output on the 20 volt is less. Hard to say.

I have a rafter hook on my 20v saw

Do you know the weigh of the saw is it lighter than a corded saw

The blade on this saw is on the right hand side. The DeWalt 6-1/2 inch saw has the blade is on the left side. Why the difference?

I am looking into purchasing a cordless circular saw next month. I realize that when I do I am committing to a an entire cordless platform. At this point I am still vacillating between the Milwaukee M18 and the Flexvolt. Question: How long does it take for the charger to fully recharge a depleted battery?

Same reasons Samsung started "LED TV" years back even though they are still LCD TVs with the only difference being LED backlights (what does that make older LCDs then...."Light Bulb TV"?), and soon everyone was calling them that. What's good is there haven't suddenly been all these "20V" lines from competitors where all they have to do is change the label. Also most "full synthetic" oil sold in the U.S. isn't really Group IV base but highly refined mineral oil, and even though some can still be very good, that's not what people think they are getting for the price after Castrol marketing got away with changing what it used to mean.

Idk if I’d like that.
