Our take on the DEWALT DCS578B 60V MAX* Brushless Cordless 7-1/4-in. Circular Saw with Electronic Brake (Tool Only)

The DeWalt DCS578B is a 60V MAX brushless 7-1/4-inch circular saw sold as a bare tool, aimed at framers, carpenters and remodelers who already own FLEXVOLT batteries. It spins up to 5,800 RPM, cuts 2-9/16 inches deep at 90 degrees and 2 inches at 45, bevels to 57 degrees, and adds an electronic brake, LED cut light and rafter hook. That puts it in the class of high-output cordless saws like the Makita 40V and Milwaukee M18 Fuel, with power close to a corded worm drive but more weight and battery cost. Owners rate it highly for power and cut quality; the main complaints are its heft and the need for a large FLEXVOLT pack to get full performance.

About the DEWALT DCS578B 60V MAX* Brushless Cordless 7-1/4-in. Circular Saw with Electronic Brake (Tool Only)

The DEWALT DCS578B is a cordless 7-1/4-inch circular saw with a brushless motor that runs at up to 5,800 RPM. It is a tool-only unit, so the battery is not included. It works with DEWALT 60V MAX FLEXVOLT batteries.

An electronic brake stops the blade quickly after the trigger is released. The saw has a bevel capacity of 57° and cuts up to 2-9/16 inches deep at 90° and 2 inches deep at 45°.

A bright LED work light lights up the cut line in low light. A rafter hook lets you hang the saw on the job site. The center of gravity is placed for balance and control. It is made for framing, rip cuts, crosscuts and general construction work.
