Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great tools I love it tons of power smooth cuts I decided to get Dewalt 60v Circular saw , Grinder and Sawzall the tools are amazing tons of power decent battery life . I got all three . each came with a 9 AH flex battery for 349 insane deal for the best tools . The Circular saw had a quick charger with it . I can charge a battery as fast or little faster then grinder will kill one being used on full power . The grinder kills the battery's in about 1.5 hours . not often will you run a Sawzall or Circular saw for an hour and a half with out turning it off so have not killed a battery in one or the other as of yet . I think 2 batteries and a quick charger for one person would be enough . three is very nice though .

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Disappointed in the battery charger with this kit! First of all , This is my second 60v 71/4" saw w/ battery and charger kit. Very happy with the first on that came with 6ah battery and fast charger ( bought a second 6ah battery). charges quick less than a hour easy. This kit has the bigger battery 9ah but has the cheaper less powerful charger 6amps instead of the 8amps with cooling fan !! takes much longer to charge batteries CHEAP move dewalt WHY do you do that? Saw is awesome

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wow. And I mean wow!! Great dust removal and amazing power. Can not stall it on a full send cut through heavy timbers. Push as hard as you want, the saw will not bog down or stall. Guard action is very smooth and line of sight is top notch! Had everybody on site give it a try. Guys very loyal to other bands were stoked on the performance. Now to wait for those large powerstack batteries to start coming out :)

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good and could be better I bought this three month ago. Using at the framing. Great power of the tool and its safety produced by means of its features and the power it produces is very impressive. But there’s one significant weakness of it. The plate (or shoe) and the engine part of the skillsaw is connected by some kind of plastic detail. As I recognized later on at the other skillsaw from makita and milwaukee that the whole skillsaw is attached or in other words sits on the shoe (or plate). Once, the product felt from 36 inch height. And I can’t cut with it straight without watching the blade. Before I was simply oriented by marks on the shoe or plate. If in the future generation the plate will sit on the show it will deserve 6 starts.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The last 7 1/4 saw you'll ever buy. Fantastic Saw.. Even a fresh blade on my corded saw isn't as good as this 60V. The 60V line is truly a corded replacement. I've built a few decks, a shed, partial fence and lots of forming around my property plus a bunch of demo work and general frame outs with this saw now and it cuts 4x4/6x6 wet pressure treated lumber like it's butter. It feels like I'm using my 12" mitre saw to cut using a hand held. It's also sturdy - I am a tool thrower. I've been buying dewalt tools for about 20 years and throughout the different lines this is the first time where I don't have to question if I'd need the corded variant... or grabbing the 18/20v saw knowing it'll be a pain but you also don't feel like running a cord for a couple cuts. The 20v saws were definitely not the best value however with the battery system already invested in they weren't noticeable worse than the competition... but the 60v is just beautiful.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Recommended Love it! So much power and ease of use. Only downside is the location of "zero" mark, which is slightly off, but not enough to really worry about. Fantastic length of time for the battery, but I haven't really put it to the test. Decent charge time from dead (about 4 hours if memory serves), which is totally fine for overnight charging.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wicked awesome saw. Great saw! Very Powerful. Extremely happy with it. I thought the weight of the saw plus a big battery would be a concern, but it is so well balanced I don't even notice it. If your considering a battery powered saw, don't even look at the 20v or flexvolt advantage. Spend the extra $$$ & get this, guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from amazing power This saw is crazy powerful like a corded one. I wouldn't use it to cut a bunch of 2x4 to length due to how heavy it is, but definitely use it for plywood or cutting into floors. i 100% recommend this saw.

Will this saw work with 20 volt batteries as well?

Asked by: Roger
No, it only works with flexvolt batteries, 20v batteries will not be compatible with the saw!
Answered by: Duradurax

The specs indicate "No" to depth adjustment. Is this true?

Asked by: Bruhaha
You can easily adjust the depth of the cut with a little clamp/lever built in the saw.
