The DeWalt DCS565B is a brushless 20V MAX cordless circular saw with a 6-1/2 in. blade. It spins at 4,950 rpm and cuts 2-1/8 in. deep at 90°, with tool-free depth and bevel adjustment up to 50°. An electric brake, LED, rafter hook and optional dust chute round it out. It is a compact framing and trim saw for people already on DeWalt's 20V MAX or FLEXVOLT battery platform. Against 7-1/4 in. cordless saws it trades cut depth for lighter weight and easier one-hand handling, and reviewers generally rate the brushless motor and cut quality highly.

Owners praise the brushless motor, light weight and clean cuts, and many call it a strong step up from older DeWalt cordless saws. Common complaints are the shallow depth of cut and the need to buy batteries separately.
The DeWalt DCS565B is a 20V MAX cordless circular saw with a 6-1/2 in. blade. Its brushless motor runs at 4,950 rpm for fast, consistent cuts. The saw is lightweight and compact for easy handling.
Tool-free depth and bevel adjustments let you set the cut quickly. The bevel lever adjusts from 0 to 50°, and the maximum depth of cut is 2-1/8 in. at 90°. An electric brake stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released, and a bright LED lights the cut line.
A built-in rafter hook holds the saw for storage on the jobsite. The dust chute reduces dust while cutting and works with the DEWALT AirLock system or a standard 35 mm dust extractor. The saw runs on DEWALT 20V MAX and FLEXVOLT batteries.
