Is the 12 Ah battery included?

Yes. This listing includes one 12 Ah 60V FlexVolt battery. A charger is not listed, so check before buying if you do not already own one.

Will it cut 2x framing lumber in one pass?

Yes. The 7-1/4-inch blade and 60V motor handle 2x material at common framing angles, which is the main reason buyers choose it over a 20V saw.

How does it compare with a corded circular saw?

Owners report power close to a corded saw, with no cord to manage. The trade-off is weight and battery cost.

Does it use standard 7-1/4-inch blades?

Yes. It takes standard 7-1/4-inch circular saw blades with a 5/8-inch arbor, so blade choice is wide.

Can I use a smaller FlexVolt battery?

Yes. It runs on other 60V FlexVolt packs, which cuts weight but shortens runtime.

Our take on the Dewalt 60 V MAX Circular Saw 7-1/4" 12 Ah

The DeWalt 60V MAX circular saw is a cordless 7-1/4-inch saw that runs on DeWalt's 60V FlexVolt battery system. It is built for framing, decking and heavy cuts where a 20V saw would bog down, and it ships with a 12 Ah battery. That 12 Ah pack is the large FlexVolt battery, so runtime is long but the saw is heavy in hand.
