DeWalt DWE575SB 7-1/4" Lightweight Circular Saw with Electric Brake

I purchased this saw to complete a home improvement project that my battery saw was not able to fully complete. This is a great saw and I am very happy with it's performance so far. I look forward to many more years of service from this saw.

I have used Dewalt tools for over 45 years and have always loved them. I am sorry to say that I cannot say the same about my 575SB Circular saw. I have owned 3 other saws with poorer reputations, and although they were under-powered or heavy they always cut straight. The Dewalt will not cut a straight line out of the box because the blade is mis-aligned with the shoe. In addition, there is not adjustment provided as with other saws. I had cut very thin plywood when I first bought this saw and thought it was difficult to get through the material. I wrote that up to perhaps trying to cut too quickly with the provided blade, but never thought it was the saw's fault. It has not been abused or dropped. I only discovered the problem as I was attempting to cut some a counter top. This is obviously a factory defect, but as I have had the darn thing for over a year now and have trashed the paperwork that came with it (after all, it was a Dewalt - what could go wrong?) I doubt that Dewalt will do anything about it. I could never recommend this saw at all.

I’ve been putting dewalt tools in the ringer for fifteen years now…bought this saw for cutting 2 1/4 inch red spruce lengthwise(12 feet)… did not let go of the trigger once and pushed it to the max…was very impressed!!!!!

I bought this saw to replace my old Makita worm drive saw which is to heavy and worn.

Lighter weight, sufficient power, I used it to rip an inch off 2x6, no problem, easy, no kickback.

It’s reversed from the typical set up so that the wide foot is on the workpiece and the narrow part is on the waste but it might be difficult to use with a square at full depth. The setup makes sense.

Got this saw few days ago to replace my stolen one and man I love this saw its strong great features

This is the best saw I have ever owned he has power the brake is a great saftey feature this saw can't be beat

I am a 63 year old widow who maintains my home. I needed a good circular saw to cut Formica and was light enough that I could handle and feel comfortable with. This saw is amazing! I felt comfortable cutting the Formica and it turned out great. Thank you DeWalt for making a powerful lightweight saw that a woman can use easily.

I bought this saw a week ago based on positive reviews and my prior experience with DeWalt power tools. The saw is balanced and easy to handle. My biggest complaint and the reason I returned the saw under the 90 money back policy is the width of the plate at the front (cutting edge of the saw. The base plate is so wide that you cannot see your marked line when crosscutting structural lumber. The plate is aluminum so I guess that is why it is wider than steel or titanium plates. Saws power was ok. It would also be nice if a fence was included.

I got this over a month ago and it is a heavier circular saw, but it's nice because I feel like that helps me keep the cut straighter! Takes a little to get used to (I am a female, so it's a bit heavier for me. But I love it!

I bought this a few months ago and has run awesome on the job site
