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

No doubt it is beast. Superb

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.

Todo excelente, sobre el producto y accesorios que incluyen, a excepción de que no incluyeron la llave para cambiar el disco

The power of this saw is impressive. Everything I have cut so far, it has not bogged down, or cut out. I'm new to the right hand saw, and as such, takes a bit of getting use to the sight line on angle cuts, but that's my lack of skills...not the saw. Get one. You won't be disappointed.

Shipping came earlier than expected, within a couple days, just on time for Christmas. Tool meets exceptions, husband says it’s heavy, but makes immaculate cuts to wood. Would recommend to anyone in the market for this style of saw!

This saw is a game-changer for anyone tackling serious framing projects. I gotta say, this DEWALT FLEXVOLT 60V MAX* Circular Saw (DCS577B) is an absolute beast! It's like having a powerhouse in your hands, ready to slice through any lumber like butter. The 7-1/4-inch blade is a beast at cutting through thick wood with precision. I've used it for building a deck, and let me tell you, it made the job so much easier and faster. The battery life is impressive, lasting through several projects without needing a recharge. I love how smooth and accurate the cuts are - it's like a hot knife through butter! If you're serious about your woodworking game, I highly recommend this saw. It's a total game-changer!
