Reviews:
DeWalt designed this replacement for their popular DW359 circular
saw to be the lightest and most powerful saw available. The result
is a professional-quality tool that weighs 9-1/2 pounds and uses
a big 15 amp motor to deliver a maximum of 2,200 watts--just about
3 horsepower. That's a technical way of saying this saw can deliver
the power necessary to take on the toughest work on any construction
site. The saw's magnesium base plate and guard are part of the key
to the low weight. It has a slimmed-down handle, which we found
more comfortable than the one on the old model, and a slimmed-down
body, which allows for better cut-line visibility. When redesigning
the saw, DeWalt also swapped the previous model's 15 amp switch
with a 22 amp switch to make burnout at startup less likely. We
really like the big 56-degree-maximum bevel capacity, and found
that both bevel and depth adjustments were quick, tool-free operations.
The one drawback we found with this saw is that if the base gets
knocked out of whack, there is no way to recalibrate the bevel or
depth gauges. Nonetheless, if what you want is powerful performance
and light weight, we think this is a great choice.
