Is the DCS565N worth it over the older DCS570?

The DCS565N is the newer, lighter brushless model with a 165mm blade and better balance. The DCS570 uses a larger 184mm blade for deeper cuts, so pick that if depth matters more than weight.

What battery does it need?

Any DEWALT 18V XR battery fits, and a 5.0Ah pack gives a good runtime balance. Nothing is included in the box, so you need at least one battery and a charger.

How deep will it cut?

55mm at 90° and 42mm at 45° with the 165mm blade. That covers most framing lumber and sheet goods but not thick posts in one pass.

Does it come with a blade?

Yes, a 165mm 24-tooth carbide-tipped thin-kerf blade is supplied. It is a general-purpose rip and crosscut blade, not a fine-finish trim blade.

Can I connect a dust extractor?

Yes, it is compatible with DEWALT's AirLock system for a secure hose connection. The dust blower also clears the line when you cut without extraction.
