7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Electric Brake, 15-Amp (DWE575SB)

It's lightweight, simple and descent. Everything is good when I taken it out of the box, measurements are accurate and Zeroed I don't have to adjust anything, it's all pretty Leveled I checked it first with Rafter (Speed) Square and Framing Square it is Leveled and Zeroed and Squared. I made my test cuts of the Following: 2x4's Cross Cuts, 45° Bevel Cut, Rip Cut a 2x4x12inch long to turn it to 2x2's. I did some 45° Miter cut with 12" Speed Rafter Square, I cut some OSB's, 3/4" Plywood, I cross cut and do some 45° Bevel Cut on construction grade 2x6's, 2x10's and cross cut 2x12's, Crosscut Pressure Treated 4x4's flip it and run for 2nd pass same thing I did on pressure treated 4x6 Beam. And this saw passed All of my Test Cuts, it's got enough and Adequate Power and Torque. Blade Brake, is good enough, functional and the brake stops the blade after 2 to 2.5 seconds I timed it. Accuracy is Excellent! I got nothing else to say after it passed all of my test cuts. The power cord is so tough I also tested the saw for the pull out I immitated the DeWalt commerical and I hanged my saw in the 2nd Floor and the saw didn't failed and detached from the cord. It's a tough cord! Power? It's enough to do the the heavy taskings even though it's not as powerful as my Makita Hypoid Saw and my Makita 5007mg side winder that uses Helical Gear. This dewalt saw is good enough. Blower is another great feature to have it can blow the saw dust away after cuts just point turn it on and point the saw to the dust and it blows away. Only 1 issue that I have is the Dewalt stock Blade! It's suck! Because I got it Bent! I mean it's bent and it's Wobbling, so I just put the blade in the trash can't use it for safety reasons, I just replaced it with Craftsman 7-1/4 40tooth Carbide Blade and the Wobble is Gone! Overall this is a great all around saw. And it's Quiet too.

Esta sierra la compré en diciembre de 2023, hace ya dos años. Es una excelente compra, tal vez la mejor compra de herramienta que he realizado en Amazon. A dos años de usarla (y a veces abusar un poco) puedo recomendarla ampliamente. No soy instalador. Todos mis trabajos los hago en mi taller, por lo que a mí NO ME AFECTA que sea de cable. Corta la teca, el mezquite y el encino sin problemas. Ya va siendo hora de reemplazar el disco Dewalt que trae de fábrica, empieza a notarse ya en el acabado de los cortes; probaré con uno de 40t. Llegó a tiempo, nueva y en perfecto estado. No tuve que calibrarla, venía a 90° ya lista para usarse, con la misma distancia delantera y trasera del disco respecto del borde de la zapata (base). Es ligera, tal como lo dice el fabricante. He cortado barrotes y tablones con sierras Skilsaw de transmisión: esta sierra apenas está por debajo de ellas DE MANERA APENAS PERCEPTIBLE. Altamente recomendada. Con una guía ajustable de aluminio (la rojita, con capacidad de 30 cms.) para sierra circular tienes una herramienta muy versátil y productiva.

This is the nicest saw of this type i have looked at in person at home depot; they were out of stock everywhere near me so here i am. Some features i like about this saw: - its smooth - It has positive detents at 22.5’ and 45’. - depth gauge markings every 1/2” - wrench stored under cord via detent - the second handle is a good size - adjustments are easy - it came with a 24t blade which was a nice surprise. - i personally like the brake not being a sudden stop. It’s almost immediately non-dangerous and stops gently. The bag is okay i would have preferred a plastic case. Great saw tho easy recommend. If you’re not sure go to home depot and hold the display ones.

It's a good one. So smooth to cut.

I have had several circular saws, all 7 1/4 except for a Dewalt 8 1/4 some years back. I purchased this saw because I wanted an electric brake to stop the blade faster. I believe that is a verrrry good safety feature and saves time over the long run. This saw is very sturdy, very well balanced, very powerful, excellent shoe plate, and various access levers to make needed adjustments. It is also, noticeably quieter than my previous saw. It also has an extra long cord, which is verrrrrrrry nice....It is smaller than I thought it would be, but that makes it compact and as, I said, above, very well balanced. The only thing it does not have is a safety lock on the switch. Most of the saws I have had have had that device, and while it is something extra to actuate, it also protects against accidental activation of the switch. Now, there must be a reason that Dewalt chose to do it this way. Its not a major item, as it just takes some getting use to. I have had times when the safety device on other saws was somewhat of a hinder, actually, because, at times, I was in an awkward position and unlocking the safety lock and activating the switch at the same time was a bit difficult. That is not often, but it can happen. Whatever the case, I am extremely pleased with the saw. I do all my work from a wheel chair, so the lighter weight helps as I do not have the physical strength I once had. All in all, this is a 5 star saw and I do not give out 5 stars in hardly any of these reviews. So, if you are looking for a very solid, well balanced, saw with all the trimmings, this one would be a very fine choice. It does cost more than a simple circular saw, but I believe it is worth it, especially in view of the quality and electric brake. SHALOM.....Brother Randahl
