DEWALT Circular Saw, 7-1/4 inch, Pivoting with up to 57 Degree Bevel, Corded (DWE575SB)

If you don't have to have a battery saw, this one works very well. It's not too heavy and it's easy to guide. I built a deck and several other smaller projects with it. Easy to adjust for bevel cuts and for depth of cut. Can be easily adapted for dust collection attachments--which don't come with it.

It has been at least 50 years since I bought a circular saw. I make furniture, so I do not use a circular saw often. My 50 year old Craftsman is still going strong, but I needed a saw to dedicate to a track system and the manufacturer recommended the Makita and the Dewalt. I chose the Dewalt because of the electric brake. When I first took it out of the box, I was concerned by the light weight. It did not feel substantial. Once I used it, however, I knew it is a quality tool. I installed a 40 tooth Dewalt finish quality thin kerf blade, just like the one I have on my Craftsman. I have used lots of other people's circular saws over the years, but never anything that runs so smooth. Unlike other reviewers, I am getting no wobble whatsoever. It works great with a TrueTrac system and the light weight certainly diminishes fatigue. The brake operates as promised; I am still surprised when the blade comes to a stop so quickly. I can certainly recommend this saw to anyone who uses a circular saw occasionally as I do. It feels substantial enough for a professional as well, but I cannot attest to that.

Nice product

The media could not be loaded. It's lightweight, simple and descent. Everything is good when I taken it out of the box, measurements are accurate and Zeroed I don't have to adjust anything, it's all pretty Leveled I checked it first with Rafter (Speed) Square and Framing Square it is Leveled and Zeroed and Squared. I made my test cuts of the Following: 2x4's Cross Cuts, 45° Bevel Cut, Rip Cut a 2x4x12inch long to turn it to 2x2's. I did some 45° Miter cut with 12" Speed Rafter Square, I cut some OSB's, 3/4" Plywood, I cross cut and do some 45° Bevel Cut on construction grade 2x6's, 2x10's and cross cut 2x12's, Crosscut Pressure Treated 4x4's flip it and run for 2nd pass same thing I did on pressure treated 4x6 Beam. And this saw passed All of my Test Cuts, it's got enough and Adequate Power and Torque.Blade Brake, is good enough, functional and the brake stops the blade after 2 to 2.5 seconds I timed it. Accuracy is Excellent! I got nothing else to say after it passed all of my test cuts. The power cord is so tough I also tested the saw for the pull out I immitated the DeWalt commerical and I hanged my saw in the 2nd Floor and the saw didn't failed and detached from the cord. It's a tough cord! Power? It's enough to do the the heavy taskings even though it's not as powerful as my Makita Hypoid Saw and my Makita 5007mg side winder that uses Helical Gear. This dewalt saw is good enough. Blower is another great feature to have it can blow the saw dust away after cuts just point turn it on and point the saw to the dust and it blows away. Only 1 issue that I have is the Dewalt stock Blade! It's suck! Because I got it Bent! I mean it's bent and it's Wobbling, so I just put the blade in the trash can't use it for safety reasons, I just replaced it with Craftsman 7-1/4 40tooth Carbide Blade and the Wobble is Gone! Overall this is a great all around saw. And it's Quiet too.

Tried it once so far and it worked really well. Smooth cut, felt sturdy, and easy to handle. Looking forward to using it more!

This saw does an excellent job and is pretty true with the blade angel setting. I really like the blade brake, when you release the trigger, the blade slows quickly. Nice weight to it as well and the cord seems heavy duty. All in all, I would purchase this saw again and would recommend to a friend.

This item is very easy to use. Dewalt always makes tools durable and with the highest quality. The plug stays out of the way and the saw itself is very powerful.

This is a very useful saw. I’ve been running Makita’s 500 series circular saws since 1996 and they are hard to beat, but they get heavy over a day’s time. After running the Makita for so long, I’ve developed some severe wrist fatigue and shooting pain when I try to grip simple things, usually after hours and I’ve had a long day on the saw. I applaud you worm drive guys! Makita makes a nice little light 10 amp saw that I fell in love with at first, but after about 6 months, found out the thing just isn’t for the residential renno scene. It just can’t hold up to the abuse, plus, if you are doing any type of carpentry for a living, you know you need a saw with a max depth of cut, one that will go well beyond a forty-five degree bevel, and one that can withstand the rigorous environment.This Dewalt saw is light, sturdy, and has all the bells and whistles I need to complete my task. Also, I really LOVE the guard on this saw, no need to pin it back for those compound cuts. The spring on the guard is just right, it does not interfere with your cutting at all. Another feature I admire on this saw is the brake, sweet! Granted I’ve only had the saw for a few weeks, but this is a great product and is much lighter than the Makita saws I’ve used for years. No more wrist pain after a long day of butchering wood! As for the guys that claim the table isn’t square with the blade, mine was square both ways right out of the box. Time will tell if it is as durable as its competition.
