Reviews:
This DeWalt circular saw is a rugged tool designed with professional
carpenters' needs in mind. It has a 15 amp motor that produces a
whopping 2,075 watts, which is equivalent to about 2-3/4 horsepower.
In less scientific terms those numbers mean this saw can slice through
lumber like a tornado through a trailer park. If that's a little
too fast for you, it also comes with an electric brake for quick
stops. The generous 5-1/2-inch base pivots for depth of cut and
bevels on a ball-joint mechanism that offers smoother, faster adjustments
than the simple hinge arrangement typically found on other saws.
It has a bevel capacity of 0 to 50 degrees, and--like the depth-of-cut
gauge--the bevel gauge can be easily recalibrated if the saw takes
a tumble on the job. Depth-of-cut adjustments are made by unscrewing
the front handle a bit, adjusting to the desired depth, and screwing
it back down tight. This operation is so smooth it can be done without
even changing your grip on the saw, reducing downtime between cuts.
The saw's construction is solid throughout and it should be capable
of living a long life on even the toughest job sites. Blade changes
are quick thanks in part to the easy-to-reach shaft lock button;
however, onboard storage of the blade-changing wrench would be an
improvement. This is a great tool for serious professionals in need
of serious cutting power. At 12.3 pounds, it isn't the lightest
model available, but big power doesn't come in small packages, and
7-1/4 inch sidewinder circular saws don't get any burlier than this.
