- How deep can this saw cut?
- With a 4-1/2 in. blade the depth of cut is well short of a 7-1/4 in. saw, so it is suited to trim, plywood and shallow cuts rather than thick framing lumber. Check the depth at 90 and 45 degrees before relying on it for a cut.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- Yes. The kit includes a 20V MAX POWERSTACK compact battery starter kit, so the saw, battery and charger come together.
- Can I use my existing DeWalt 20V MAX batteries?
- Yes. It runs on the DeWalt 20V MAX battery platform, so batteries you already own for other DeWalt 20V tools fit.
- Is this a replacement for a full-size circular saw?
- No. It is a compact saw for trim, tight spaces and one-handed work. For deep cuts in thick lumber a 7-1/4 in. saw is the better tool.
- Does it bevel?
- Yes, it has bevel capacity for angled cuts. Set the bevel and check the depth before cutting.
- Who is this saw for?
- Trim carpenters, remodelers and DeWalt 20V owners who want a light saw for quick, shallow cuts. It is less suited to heavy framing.
- Where is the Dewalt ATOMIC 20V MAX Cordless Brushless 4-1/2 in. Circular Saw and 20V MAX POWERSTACK Compact Battery Starter Kit cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $298.00, as of our latest check.
