Does the DWS520K come with a track?

No. The kit includes the saw, a 48-tooth blade, a blade wrench and a kit box. DeWalt TrackSaw tracks are sold separately.

Up to 2-1/8 inches at 90 degrees and 1-5/8 inches at 45 degrees when running on the track. The depth scale accounts for track thickness.

Will it fit my existing DeWalt tracks?

It is designed for DeWalt TrackSaw dual-edged tracks and cuts straight in both directions on them. It is not built for other brands' guide rails without an adapter.

What blade does it use?

A 6-1/2 inch (165 mm) blade with a 20 mm arbor. The included 48-tooth blade is for fine finishing; a lower-tooth rip blade is better for fast ripping.

Does it control kickback?

Yes. A continuous anti-kickback mechanism and a riving knife engage to prevent kickback during cuts.

Can I connect a shop vacuum?

Yes. The universal 1-1/4 inch dust port works with common vacuum hoses and captures most of the dust.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat the DWS520K as a dependable track saw that delivers clean, straight cuts and good dust collection. Most praise the plunge action and cut quality; the main complaints center on the single included blade and the shallower depth of its 6-1/2 inch blade.

What people mention

Cut qualityPraisedOwners report straight, splinter-free edges when the saw runs on its track.
Plunge actionPraisedReviewers find the straight plunge mechanism smooth and easy to control.
Dust collectionPraisedWith a vacuum on the 1-1/4 inch port, most chips are captured.
Blade depthCriticisedThe 6-1/2 inch blade cuts less deep than 7-1/4 inch track saws.
Included bladeCriticisedBuyers note the kit ships with a single fine-finishing blade, so a rip blade is a separate purchase.
WeightMixedSome owners find the 11.5 lb saw solid but tiring for overhead or one-handed use.

About the DeWalt DWS520K Heavy-Duty 6-1/2 (165Mm) Tracksaw Kit

The DeWalt DWS520K is a 6-1/2 inch (165 mm) corded tracksaw kit. It uses a zero clearance cutting system for precise, straight, splinter-free cuts. It works with TrackSaw dual-edged tracks, so it cuts straight in both directions.

A 12 A, 1300 W motor powers through hard woods up to 2-1/8 inches thick. On-track cut depth is 2-1/8 in (54 mm) at 90° and 1-5/8 in (41 mm) at 45°. The depth scale shows the exact depth of cut and accounts for track thickness.

A continuous anti-kickback mechanism and a riving knife prevent kickback when engaged. The low profile blade guard lets the saw be used in confined spaces. A straight plunge mechanism is designed for optimal ergonomics. The universal 1-1/4 inch dust port gives 90% efficient dust collection with a vacuum.
