DeWalt DCS578B 60V Max 7-1/4" Circ Saw Bare vs Milwaukee M18 Fuel 7 1/4-Inch Circular Saw 2834
Buy the DeWalt DCS578B if you want maximum corded-like power and already own FlexVolt batteries; buy the Milwaukee 2834 if you want a lighter, faster-spinning saw that runs on the M18 batteries you likely already have. The DeWalt is sold as a bare tool, so budget for a 20V/60V FlexVolt pack and charger on top of the saw. The Milwaukee 2834 is likewise a bare tool, so its real cost depends on the M18 batteries and charger you add.

4.5Choose the DeWalt DCS578B if you need the deepest cut in class at 2-9/16 in. at 90°, a 57° bevel with stops at 22.5° and 45°, and you are already in the FlexVolt battery system.
Pros

- 57° bevel with positive stops at 22.5° and 45° speeds up framing and trim cuts.
