Q:Will the XR batteries fit the saw?
by|Feb 22, 2023
2 Answers
Answer This Question

A:  Yes, the tool is compatible with all 20v Lithium Ion batteries branded by DEWALT as well as DEWALT FLEXVOLT batteries.

by|Feb 22, 2023

    A:  Yes, this saw will run on 20 volt XR batteries, just won't give you the super strong cutting power & long run times like the 60 volt will. BUT - it certainly makes for a much lighter and easier to handle package!

        Q:IS THE BLADE INSTALLED?
        by|Jan 13, 2023
        5 Answers
        Answer This Question

        A:  There is a blade sold with the saw, but it’s not installed. It’s located at the bottom of the box and you’ll have to install it prior to use. It’s a basic blade and makes a clean cut. 

        by|Jan 17, 2023

          A:  The blade was installed on the one I bought

          by|Jan 16, 2023

            A:  Blade is not installed 

            by|Jan 18, 2023

              A:  No

                A:  The blade will need to be installed as it does not come installed.

                    A:  Huh? Do hammers come in left or right hand versions? It is a very nicely made saw

                    by|Dec 22, 2022
                      6 found this answer helpful

                      A:  No right handed, with that said if you like the 20 volt where you cut right handed and blade is near you thats a left handed saw blade should be away from you, but ppl like them because they see blade path easily. They do make left handed 60 volt saws about 100 $ more than right handed.

                        Very impressed with this saw
                        I was tired of my corded circ saw even though it was a Bosch(really nice saw) and wanted something that would come close to the power of what I already had. I have other Dewalt products and they perform well but this is my first cordless. So far it has exceeded my expectations. It cut all of the wood in the picture on one charge. Small cuts but there are hundreds of them. Solid cutting from the first to the last. While probably not for everyone, I think this is going to be perfect for my needs.

                              Great Deal, Great Saw
                              Note, I'm not a professional so take this review from a consumer perspective. Is it overkill for my uses? Maybe. Do I feel good using it? Oh yeah. The included 9ah Flexvolt battery is great for this and other tools, loads of power and cut time. Saw is very comfortable to hold even with the weight, the bevel is solid, easy to change out the blade, good line of site and blade visibility. I love this thing.

                                Chunks of solder are rattling around in the motor compartment. Not sure if they broke off the board or if it was just a sloppy job assembling the unit. I'm not going to open it up to to find out.

                                    Worked great until it didnt.
                                    This 60v circular saw boasts tons of power and able to make clean precise cuts until it cannot make precise cuts any longer. I am a hobbyist woodworker and have owned this saw for a few years and typically am a "buy once, cry once" tool purchaser to make sure I buy the right tool. After moderate use on weekends the base plate of the saw does not align with the blade, therefore making the saw useless. I typically use a straight edge and clamps to make long straight cuts on sheets and now am unable to do so. In the images you can see the edge of square is and is not in contact with the front and back of the blade respectively. This is a brand new blade and now the saw is only good for rough cuts and demo. I would avoid this product if you care to own your tools for several years.

                                        This cordless could almost be a replacement for your corded circular saw. First thing, I am a very capable DIYer, not a builder and tested this saw on pressure treated lumber which we know is the bane of circular saws abilities . this saw with battery is heavy, it weighs in at 11 pounds , that is 2 pounds more than a similar competitors model using the same 9 amp battery. so carrying this up and down a ladder may be a consideration. The included rafter hook was far more convenient than I first thought. I was able to hang the saw on lumber while I measured, etc, which eliminates the up and down or tripping on the saw accidentally. The battery charged quickly, it arrived with 1 bar of charge and was fully charged in under 30 minutes. The included blade was ok for rough work, it is a bit of a thin kerf blade which i found hard to keep straight on wet lumber, but tracked fine on dried 2x6's . I tried this out on pressure treated 2x6s and it went through them almost as well as my corded saw. I did need to go a little slower but not baby the cuts. I was able to make 41 cuts on a charge, which was not bad at all. having only one battery slows you down, but I was able to use a 20 volt battery from another tool to keep going while the battery charged, but I did notice a difference when cutting the wet lumber with the standard battery. This is a really nice saw and comes with a good quality storage bag, I personally like that this saw takes standard 7 1/4 inch blades, You can purchase a similar kit with 2 batteries which you may want to consider, but if you are not cutting lumber lal day, one battery will do the trick
