      Why doesn't HD or Dewalt put the model number down. Is this a 573 or is it a 575 that only operates with flexivolt? Customers are mislead without the model number.

        What is the difference between a dewalt sidewinder saw and other dewalt circular saws/
        ByJan 27, 2024
        1 Answer | 
        Answer This Question

        The blade on a direct drive saw (often called a sidewinder) is next to the motor, creating a wider profile but shorter overall length.

          What is flexvolt? And how does it work?
          ByOct 14, 2023
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          When the FLEXVOLT™ battery stands alone or is in a DEWALT 20V Max* product, it will operate as a 20V Max* battery. When the FLEXVOLT™ battery is in a 60V Max* or a 120V Max* (two 60V Max* batteries) product, it will operate as a 60V Max* battery.

                You need a blade for nonferrous metals

                By|Aug 5, 2023

                  Yes, but only if you use a blade rated for cutting metal. The Diablo steel demon 7 1/4 blade is my go to for cutting metal. You can also use a demo blade (wood/nails) but you will have best results with blades made for cutting metal. Wear safety glasses when you cut that aluminum too, metal shavings in the eyes are no fun! Hope this helped

                  By|May 29, 2023

                    You will be able to cut through that density aluminum by using DEWALT® Circular Saw Blade Metal Cutting (DW3330).

                      Do Not Buy!!!
                      I was so excited when I got this saw and I was initially impressed with the power. Major flaw that makes it difficult to use with a guide or fence of any sort is the shoe not being parallel with the blade, not to mention the hash marks don’t line up. Using a speed square will actually result in an out of square cut. You can mark a line and watch the blade to get a square cut but that is not the point. You cannot be fast accurate with this saw. Overall very disappointed with that flaw, if we had some adjustability or it was correctly aligned this would be a 5/5 saw.
                      by
                        Absolute junk. Same problems as others mentioned.
                        As others have said these are junk. Baseplate is way out of alignment and it's not adjustable. It's a full 1/8" off making the saw useless for cutting anything that requires any precision whatsoever.

                          Great saw
                          Thank you again for another great product works great with the flex volt batteries just as much power as a corded. Saw cuts square have not had a problem. It’s very nice not pulling out the cords and the corded saw saves so much time. Job and time efficiency with a great final product.

                            Flexvolt circular saw
                            Easily the strongest battery powered circular saw on the market. I joke with my buddy everyday who still uses Cryobi when he’s trying to make a cut. I ask him if I need to get the Big DEWALT out or is the Cryobi going to get it? Haha I see reviews about the shoe out of alignment, which it is, i just thought it might have been mine. I still love the thing and I just stare at the blade instead of the guide line. I don’t regret buying it like others have said. Especially when it looks like this on the job site.

                              Poor factory adjustment.
                              Bought 2 of these saws. And I’m already regretting my decision. When you buy a good quality saw, as I expected these ones to be, one should never second guess the factory adjustment. Well, for these ones the squareness sucks!! Decided to check both saws, and neither one was right. DEWALT, you can do better! Or at least, I expected more… How should it be acceptable that both saws squareness between the blade and the shoe was completely off?? Unless it is an easy fix, I will be returning the saws.

                                I got this on a steal of a deal! got the 6ah and a 4ah 20v batteries and thus saw for 200$! I do home remodels, and have been slowly growing my tool set so I don't have to share with my buddy. this saw cuts like butter! one of my gavorite purchases! Haven't gotten the flexvolt battery yet, but I'd still reccomend this saw either way!

                                  Just one more Cut
                                  LED is worthless, I DIY evenings and with days getting shorter a LED light is needed. The LED doesn't project out, because of bevel rail is in the way while cutting 2x. Would suggest moving the light to brace handle thumb location to help light material.

                                    This DeWalt battery powered saw exceeded my expectations. It is a very good tool and an effective replacement for electric corded saws for most uses. This is the first battery powered circular saw I have owned and it will now be my primary circular saw. I use the 20v 6.0AH Flex Volt batteries with the DCB115 charger. The batteries and charger did not come with the saw (purchased as “tool only”) and I had to separately purchase the batteries and charger. The wrench for attaching and removing the blade is contained in the tool near the battery compartment so it is always available when needed. There is a blade lock button for easy blade changes. The safety switch is in the handle and must be depressed to activate the blade trigger. I really like the blade brake as a safety feature. When the trigger is released, the brake activates immediately and quickly stops the blade rotation. The saw is powerful and performed as well as my electric corded saw. It easily cut each sample wood I tried, including composite material. The blade cut depth is about 2 7/8” and I cut through a 3” thick sample, to test if it would bind up or be sluggish when not cutting all the way through. No problem at all. The 6.0AH batteries, as previously indicated, are powerful and hold a charge for extended use. The manufacturer indicates that this saw is part of the “flex line” of tools that can use the same battery. That would permit tool only purchases if you already have batteries and charger, which is an added benefit.

                                    More torque than a regular electric hand saw! Dewalt did not disappoint, I already had the 20 volt drill and it just made sense to add this saw to my tool box. The base is thick aluminum (weight savings), it’s easy to adjust for angled cuts. The wrench is perfectly stored in the base, blade install is easy and had no slippage when being used. My favorite feature is the slot in the back that allows saw particles to be dumped away from you and off to the side. Well thought out and worth the price. If there was a down side is that it’s on the heavy side but I assume that’s the price of a high torque motor.

                                    I have been drooling over a cordless circular saw for months now. If you are thinking about getting one, don't hesitate buy it now. They really are that great! I tried both my 20 volt battery and 60 volt battery on Cub Scout projects this weekend. On softer wood, they both perform fine. I didn't see a huge improvement with the 60 volt battery. For the weight and precision I actually prefer the smaller battery. Run time was fine for me as well with the small battery. Not having to worry about cutting through your cord and focusing on your own personal safety is really nice. The power is great, even better torque than my corded circular saw. Noise is good too. Not much louder than my cordless drill. I received this DEWALT 20-VOLT MAX LITHIUM ION CORDLESS BRUSHLESS 7-1/4 IN. CIRCULAR SAW WITH FLEXVOLT ADVANTAGE (TOOL ONLY) for free to write this review.
