It’s a fine saw for anything residential. For commercial use it’s fine too. Just a little too small for cutting heavy timber. I’ve used mine in both conditions
I'm a Makita man myself always have been and the little trim saws are excellent the same as Dewalt tools , I agree about the safety toggle being a pain but I usually wrap some gaffer tape around it as a bypass and that does the trick.....😀 Cheers.......👍
Got one of these and cus it said xr on it and in the Screwfix deal i thought it was brushless...which it wasn't 😭but was shocked how powerful it was compared to my brushless 18v erbrua screw fix brand🤦🏼....was dogpoo. This saw is fantastic as im a DIY'ER GREAT REVIEWS 👍🏻
It is a great saw, I have to disagree with you on the use on tantalised timber, I use it on treated timber 90% of the time and it works well, even on sleepers.
It's not bad for the price, but it's always going to be on the low to mid range. Personally mine struggled on sleepers and treated, even with 5/6ah batteries. Thanks for the support 👍🏻
Oh my god. I was totally confused about where the key was for the blade and then you just whipped it out and slapped me in the face with it.... ehhhhh... yes, anyway. Thanks!
Thanks se7en appreciate that support! Means alot, alot of work goes into them and alot of people don't always understand that 😂. Think we're still safe but never really know I guess hope all is well your side 👍🏻
Hi, Got a chance to watch your video on this DeWalt 6 1/2" 20v circular saw. I use it and it's a great little saw. Now it's been out for a while and I feel that DeWalt should have a upgraded model by now 2019 or 2020. A few new upgrades for this model. It should have a Brushless motor, Led light, Magnesium blade (bottom) cover, push switch (to turn on) and a hook. Also make a 20v (7 - 1/2") brushless circular saw for this side cutting blade. It doesn't have to be a rear handle. Skil has one called (southpaw) but it's corder. I know they have a rear handle flexvolt and milwaukee has a m18 rear handle. It's just bulky and something smaller will just work fine. Still a great little saw. Just my input.
Nice saw but the dang blade is on the wrong side. I didn't notice that when I bought it. Should have got the 7-1/4 inch saw that has the blade on the right side like God intended.
This saw has changed my life the last 1.5 years ihave had it! larry haun teached me with his movies how a circle saw can be used with practise and this saw really suprised me how god its been performing. original blade is only thing ive noticed weak. i use it with 4 /5ah. 10/10 from me dewalt!
I got mine and i have a 4.0Ah battery i use for it and 3 rips of a 18mm Plinth the battery dies. I have ordered some 5.0Ah batteries to see how they perform hopefully they are alot better but who knows.
Do It All Dan ah yeah well if i would’ve read a bit more into the saw before i bought it i wouldn’t of bought the 4.0Ah battery. i just hope that the 5.0ah work well for me when they arrive!
I did like mine , until it stopped working. It makes a bit of noise but nothing happens. Any advise ?? Someone said clean it out. But I don’t know where to start.
It could be several things to be honest a good clean wouldn't do it any harm if it's been exposed to quite a bit of dust. Are the batteries connected correctly including the contacts, is something jamming the mechanism, or is the safety switch locked on, or if you noticed an oily smell or a residue on the motor it could have failed or a bearing failure. Just a few off top of my head, give it a good clean with a can of air you can buy and a soft sparkplug brush it may help.
Do It All Dan It has no smell. It has a doll noise when we try to use it it could be very dusty the battery has a full charge is incorrectly someone told me to take it apart and clean it you didn’t mention that though you said blow air out of it or something I just I’m frustrated. As you said it could be many things I just wanted to work do you know if I can take it apart and clean it out? Thank you in advance thank you for your response
Hello there! Do u need to continusly press d safety lever to operate til d end of d cut or can u let go of it once d blade starts spining so u can hav a better grip on d handle wid ur thumb?
