DeWalt 20V MAX XR 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw Kit vs DeWalt DCS573
Both are 7-1/4 in. brushless DeWalt saws with 5,500 RPM, 2-9/16 in. depth at 90°, 2 in. at 45°, 57° bevel and an electric brake. The DCS590WW1 is the safer buy: it ships as a kit with an 8.0Ah battery, charger and blade, is rated for up to 368 cuts per charge in 2x6, and holds a 4.5/5 rating from 91 owners. The DCS573 is tool-only, needs a battery and charger you may not own, and its 2.9/5 rating is dragged down by owner reports of a shoe out of square, a kerf line off by about 1/4 in. and saws that cut out.
- Choose the DCS590WW1 if you want a complete framing kit with a high-capacity battery, charger and blade, and you value a strong owner rating over a bare tool.
- Choose the DCS573 if you already own 20V MAX or FLEXVOLT batteries and want the bare saw, and you are willing to check shoe squareness before you rely on it.
