My first reaction after using this skill saw for a while, was just WOW, this thing is Amazing!!!
The motor they use is smooth as silk, and powerful.
I was hoping to wait till DeWalt incorporated there brushless motor into this skill saw.
But I needed it, so I bought it. Man am I happy I did, I really LOVE this skill saw!
This is a superb saw!
It has all of the features and power of a Top Quality corded skill saw, and it's light weight, with the 4Ah & 5Ah batteries, it does the work of a heavy duty skill saw.
I've been in construction since 1980, and have used most all light and heavy duty power tools. This Skill Saw ranks among the best I've used, in cordless saws.
Just remember your blade choice is the most important factor in how effective this saw will perform. Please see my blade recommendation below.
Others have commented on it's longevity with there batteries (1.5Ah & 2Ah batteries), regarding they drain fast. The smaller DeWalt batteries are going to drain faster. This skill saw is powerful, and puts a heavy load on the batteries. With this saw, you need the High Capacity 4Ah & 5Ah batteries (model 204 & 205) . This saw will work with any and all of DeWalts 20V Max batteries, but the lower capacity batteries aren't recommended.
I only use DeWalts 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries, and with those, I can use this skill saw all day long, with 1 battery lasting most of the day, and usually all of the day.
Features:
-This skill saw has a blade break, which is a very nice feature in any skill saw. As soon as you release the trigger, the break engages, and stops the blade from spinning within seconds.
-This skill saw also directs the cut material away from the user, and away from your line of sight.
-This skill saw has the ability to cut from a directly perpendicular (90 degrees), and also can cut up to a 50 degree angle.
-This is a nice light weight skill saw, and that greatly cuts the fatigue you would feel from using a traditional skill saw, all day long.
-This skill saw allows for a direct line of sight to the blade and working surface. This is much like the design of a worm drive saw (a Roofers Saw), the design of most all other skill saws have the motor and the blade on opposite sides, so the skill saw operator would need to look over the top of the saw, to see his work surface. This is Not the case with this DeWalt Skill Saw!
-The front and the main handle has a rubber over mold, and this gives the operator a great and comfortable grip on the skill saw. This makes it safer, and easier to control.
Blade choice is important!
-This skill saw uses a standard 5/8ths inch arbor, which gives the owner a wide selection of blade choices.
There is a LOT of new blades out today that use think kerf cuts. This means the width of the cut is very thin, usually about 1/16th of an inch thick. Just know that these are basically cheap, and throw away blades.
You also need to know, the thinner the tooth, the faster it will dull.
-Please see Blade recommendation below-
This blade here: Vermont American 6-1/2-Inch 40T Smooth Cut Carbide Teeth Circular Saw Blade , is one of the best blades you can buy for this saw. It's an extremely high quality blade, and the same blades that I use professionally, every day. It can be resharpened many times before needing replacement. It's very sharp, and uses very high quality carbide teeth.
I Very Highly recommend this saw blade!
To end, this DeWalt skill saw is a Professional Quality skill saw, and will last you for many many years.
Everything about this skill saw is very high quality, and built very well.
Very Highly Recommended!!!
I'm a part time home improvement carpenter, and have had my Dewalt 20vMAX cordless for about a month. I purchased the "Tool only" version, and added 2 of the new 5amp hour batteries to go with it. I went with "tool only" based on some reading here that the tools included in many combo deals are not the same as buying the tool only, and I know for sure that is true with this saw.
I have used this on a few framing jobs, and mostly on interior trim work, cutting lots of 1x pine moulding and 5/4 pine too. We did a job with all PVC Azack trim, and it cuts that stuff like butter. Just today, I had to rip 16' of 1x6, and this saw never even slowed down. At the end of the job, I checked the battery life and it still showed full. This saw is nice and lightweight compared to a standard plug in 71/2" saw. Obviously, it won't cut as deep, but it easily cuts through 2x4. I would guess you could crosscut 100 2x4 studs or more before needing to swap batteries. It easily cuts 3/4" CDX plywood too.
I find this saw very well balanced in my hand, and cutting a straight line is effortless. Working on a ladder is also much easier as it is lightweight compared to a full circular saw.
Overall, I am very impressed with this, and it's now my go-to circular saw for most jobs. So much easier than stretching out a cord.
NOTE: the blade supplied with the saw isn't very good, so get the Diablo http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008WQ2P/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 to put on.
PROS: lightweight and great balance for cutting
Powerful enough to cut wet 2x4 fir studs
Long lasting with 5AH batteries
Well placed angle and depth adjustment locks
Very accurate notch to show the left side of the blade
All around sturdy and quality built
CONS: Blade is on the left of motor (like a worm drive), might bother some people
A secondary lockout button that must be pushed before you can pull the trigger; didn't bother me but bugs the hell out of my brother
Tool only means just that: they don't even include the rip guide
I wouldn't break this saw out in the morning when starting to frame an entire house or roof, but for paneling, small framing, moulding and plywood, this is a great option.
Top reviews from other countries
This 6.5" Dewalt is extremely light compared to most 7.25" saws. In fact, our Rigid 7.25" weighs about twice as much. It was a night-and-day difference in ease of control, get better quality cuts, and more pieces done before our hands got tired. The closest competitor was the Milwaukee 6.5" M18 - virtually the same weight but with an 80% higher price tag at the time.
This model also has a "brake" that stops the blade from spinning almost immediately after letting go of the trigger. Beginner DIY'ers will appreciate this safety feature that wasn't in our older Rigid and also isn't in some of the cheaper brands.
The one drawback for a few people will be the smaller 6.5" blade may not cut through thicker pieces in one pass - you'll need to flip the wood over and do a second pass. That's a small issue consider 99% of what we (and probably most people) cut are 2x4's, 2x6's, or plywood that's 1" or less, which this saw cuts with ease.
If you're not already invested in another brand of batteries or don't mind adding another one, this Dewalt is an excellent saw - lightweight, low price for this level of quality, and a brand the pro's know. Don't make the same mistake of buying cheaper brands to save a few bucks - you'll end up replacing them quickly and wasting your money. This one will probably last forever or until they stop making batteries for it.
