- Does the $278 price include a battery?
- The listing is for the saw; DeWalt sells this model both as a bare tool and in kits. Confirm whether the Home Depot listing includes a battery and charger before buying, since a bare tool needs a 20V MAX pack you may already own.
- How deep will it cut?
- A 6-1/2 in. blade gives roughly 2-1/4 in. of cut at 90 degrees, enough for 2x lumber and most sheet goods. Depth drops at bevel angles, so check the scale before angled cuts.
- Will my existing DeWalt 20V batteries work?
- Yes. The saw runs on DeWalt 20V MAX Li-Ion packs, the same batteries used across the 20V MAX line. Larger capacity packs give longer runtime but add weight.
- Is $278 a good price?
- Only one store lists it new at $278 as of November 7, 2026, so there is no competing new price to compare. Check whether kits with a battery are priced close, since those can be better value.
- Can it cut 2x4s in one pass?
- Yes at 90 degrees. A 2x4 is 3-1/2 in. wide but only 1-1/2 in. thick, well within the saw's depth. Cutting 4x4 posts takes two passes.
- Where is the Dewalt 20V MAX Cordless 6-1/2 in. Circular Saw cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $278.00, as of our latest check.
