DeWalt 20V MAX XR 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit vs DeWalt DWE575SB Circular Saw

Buy the DCS590WW1 if you work where there is no outlet: it is a full-size 7-1/4 in. framing saw with corded-class depth of cut, an 8.0Ah battery and charger in the box, and a brake, LED and rafter hook. Buy the DWE575SB if you cut near power all day: it weighs about 8.8 lb against roughly 15 lb for the cordless kit, so it is easier on the arm overhead and in tight spots, and it never needs a battery. Both cut 2-9/16 in. at 90 degrees and bevel to 57 degrees, and both have an electric brake. Owners rate the corded saw slightly higher, and its simpler motor has fewer parts to fail; the cordless saw earns its keep through portability, not through out-cutting the corded model.

• Choose the DeWalt 20V MAX XR DCS590WW1 if you frame, deck or trim away from outlets and want one kit that cuts 2x lumber in a single pass with the battery and charger included.
• Choose the DeWalt DWE575SB if you work near power and want a light, dependable saw that stays strong through long days of repeated cuts.
