Powerful saw. Well made
on July 2, 2026
Posted by: Johnny k
from Maryland
I own two of these now. Spectacular saws. The batteries last for a while. Two will last all day. And does not lack power. You can rip any board that you would with a corded saw at the same speed. My other DeWalt saw sit on the shelf now. Once you use this you won't want another saw. The batteries do have a little default. Seems like every now and then one of them goes bad.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Left Handed Only
on March 6, 2025
Posted by: Anonymous
I finally purchased this saw a week ago and was loving it, the larger blade, the power, the smooth plate but out of my excitement I never noticed a huge issue. It's left facing blade design. I am obviously not left handed and was having difficulties staying on my line and yes it's possible to use it but it just isn't comfortable and not the same. I returned it after only 3 days disappointed when I found out they don't make it with a right facing blade.

One hell of a circular saw!
on October 4, 2023
Posted by: therealtrikky

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Must have for a DIY person (especially if you live in the country!).. I've owned this saw for a few years now; was purchased to build an elevated hunting stand out in the woods. Built a fully framed 8x8x8 stand with a single battery & still had juice left.
Since then it's been my "go to" circular saw for any cutting I've had to do; I haven't used either of my corded saws since I bought this! If you're considering getting this one go ahead & make the jump you will not be disappointed!

Good saw, but where is dust port?
on February 27, 2023

No issues with the saw functionality. Does everything you would expect it to do and more. Now, the manual has instructions for putting on a dust port, but I can't seem to find a dust port for it anywhere online. So is there a dust port fitting the saw that can bu purchased somewhere or is the manual trolling me with a hypothetical dust port that doesn't exist?

Amazing Saw
on January 17, 2022
Posted by: Zachthebuilder
from New York
This is another great tool from Dewalt. Power is amazing, runtime is good, and line of sight is excellent. I also love the positive stops on the bevel adjustments which make it very easy to change what degree you are cutting at. This saw is heavy but is so well balanced you don't really notice the weight. Build quality is also very good with a lot of solid metal parts on the saw. The only thing I see that could be improved are the markings on the shoe, bevel and depth adjustment. While they are spot on as far as accuracy, the numbers are the same color as the shoe metal and might be hard for some people to see. If Dewalt could make a sharper contrast between the metal shoe and markings this would make it much easier to read quickly. All in all this is an excellent saw by Dewalt and I would recommend it to anyone that needs a powerful saw without the hassle of cords.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Mostly good, one big issue
on January 11, 2022
Posted by: JK Ent
Mostly a vary good saw with one major design flaw. Power is good, battery life is good, over all quality good with the exception of the spindle bearing. The spindle bearing is made of some sort of plastic and when it heats up with long rapping it melts slightly resulting in the alignment between the blade and the table being off about 1/8" it's enough that I can't run the table along a straight edge with out it wandering off line.
