DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Circular Saw for Framing, 7-1/4-Inch, Tool Only (DCS577B)

What do you have to say, it’s a Dewalt. Looks good and works great

Finally sprung for the worm drive!I am a big fan of all of the flexvolt tools I own. It is exciting to live in the era of functional cordless tools. (Meaning the kind that can throw dust all day at a job, not just decorate the walls in the garages of "DIY" folks)Lots of cutting plower. Same blade as the side-winder and the 20v cordless miter. Blade on the left instead of the right so you can make the opposite bevel cuts if you already have the sidewinder. Compatible with the ripping guide that dewalt makes for their corded worm drives. Big rafter hook.Get it.

Powers through everything I have thrown it at. Only down side is weight, but some of that is the size of the battery (I run Aa 9 AMP which is heavy by itself).

I was curious about a blade left circular saw, there were so many professionals that act like it is an absolute necessity. So I figured I would give it a try with DeWalts Flexvolt as I already have batteries from the Flexvolt 60v Sidewinder. First things first, this saw is VERY powerful, more powerful then any circular saw I have ever seen. It cuts extremely smooth with no resistance pushing forward. All of my cuts were dead on and the saw was just begging for more.Now for the blade left orientation, to me its not really a big deal, I feel like I can cut fine with blade right or blade left. However a few times I accidentally grabbed the saw as if I were going to cut left handed (which I've never done before) because I am so used to the blade being on the opposite side. But people act like blade left is the best thing since sliced bread, and to be honest I do not think it is a necessity. Blade right is perfectly fine if that is what you are used to, but I feel like I can cut fine with either. Having said that, there are instances that you may run into where its good to have a blade left saw or a blade right saw, so I am going to keep it to have the best of both worlds. The saw is great, and is definitely better then the original Flexvolt Sidewinder. Though this is not a true worm drive saw, its more powerful then 90% of the worm drive saws out there. I've read a lot of complaints about the weight, these people better grow some guns because this saw is not that heavy, I can easily work all day with this thing and I am not really a big guy, 5'11/average build and I have no problem lugging this thing around. I love the smaller profile shoe compared to the sidewinder which is common among worm drive saws as there is less surface area which means less friction and resistance but also means it is not as stable as a bigger shoe saw, but with practice you will be fine. All of the guides and settings are easy to read and adjust, I especially like that the 0 degree cut line has a notch which I prefer then just a line like most saws have. Cannot really speak to battery life yet, but have had no issues so far. All in all it feels very solid, the only thing that felt a little flimsy to me was the safety switch, kinda felt like it may start getting stuck or something in the future, maybe not but it did feel cheap. If you are on the fence about staying right blade or switching to left, I say stick with right blade, if your just in the market for a circular saw and do not care about blade orientation then BUY THIS SAW.

The “Cream of the Crop.” Need I say more!!

I recently purchased the DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Circular Saw for Framing and I am blown away by its performance. This tool is an absolute game-changer and has made my woodworking projects so much easier and faster. The 7-1/4-inch blade is perfect for cutting through thick materials with precision. I love the convenience of it being a tool only, allowing me to use my existing batteries. The build quality is top-notch, and I can tell this saw is built to last.

When my husband asked for this for Christmas I honestly didn’t want to pay the price but I found on Amazon way cheaper and couldn’t pass it up! He uses it every day!

Solid Beast of a saw. Powers through pretty much anything you throw at it. Make no mistake though, this is not a one handed reach out on a roof kind of saw. Love it thoughUpdate: biggest issue is it absolutely trashes fully charged 60v 6ah batteries. I am demo-ing a 10x20 deck and it only takes (4) 10 foot passes through 5/4 decking to kill the battery. If your lucky you might get five. I only own four of the 6ah so it made the saw useless by mid morning. I dont know if a 12ah will fit in this saw but it needs it or better power management.
