DeWalt DCS570B

Scored on 15 verified owner verdicts, from 655 comments read across 4 communities
TL;DR
Owners are largely happy with the DCS570, praising its corded-like power, full 7-1/4" depth of cut, and handy electric brake, with several calling it the best saw they've owned. A few wish they'd gone with the 60V FlexVolt for the heaviest work, and the right-side blade and handle position can make straight cuts tricky for some. The occasional squareness or baseplate complaint appears to stem from a damaged unit rather than a widespread flaw.

80% of 15 verified owners recommend the DeWalt DCS570B, based on real owner verdicts aggregated from Reddit, enthusiast forums, and YouTube.

What owners like

  • Owners love it overall, with several calling it the best or one of the best saws they've owned · 5 · 33%
  • Full 7-1/4" blade gives real depth of cut and corded-like performance for framing and deck work · 3 · 20%
  • Integrated electric brake is a valued safety feature that sets it apart from some cheaper 6-1/2" options · 2 · 13%
  • Holds up to daily professional use, with one full-time carpenter running it every workday on a battery or two · 2 · 13%
What owners flag
  • Some heavy users would rather step up to the 60V FlexVolt for more power on demanding work · 2 · 13%
  • The right-side blade and high handle position make it hard for some to track a straight cut · 2 · 13%
  • At least one owner ran into a baseplate/squareness issue that points to a possible damaged unit out of the box · 1 · 7%
Who it's for
A great fit if
  • Carpenters and framers using a saw daily
  • DIYers wanting a capable first cordless circular saw
  • Users cutting plywood and framing lumber
  • Left-handed users who prefer a blade-right saw
Look elsewhere if
  • Buyers wanting maximum power who can get a 60V FlexVolt
  • Users who dislike the right-side blade or high handle for straight cuts

i really dont like the right blade. i also hate the high position of the handle. even i (who's framed hundreds of units) cant cut a line straight sometimes with this saw

I'm a lefty, I've used the DCS570B (dewalt) for about two years now and it's great. The blade is on the right

My Ridgid and Ryobi don’t either. IMO it had to have been dropped at some point. Manufacturing/packaging, shipping, etc. Even the lowest Harbor Freight ones don’t do this, as awful as they can be. I don’t see any way that’s normal, especially for a DeWalt saw.

Frankly, I wouldn't buy any of the 20v circular saws if the 60v were available to me.

I just got DCS570B, a 7-1/4” blade circular saw with electric brake for $139 on homdepot.com. I looked at this one but I was very concerned it would be underpowered and I don’t think it has an integrated brake which is a really valuable safety feature. I’ve been doing some deck repair and the DCS570B has been more than up to the challenge. It’s handled 2x6,

stupid design

So far I am pleasantly surprised by the power the battery operated saw has. Only had it bind on me once and it was due to a low charge on the battery. I think this is a great first saw

Reddit▲ recommend

I got the 570. Does everything o need it to. Just used it to frame a basement. Works great! Flexvolt will be more powerful, and a corded one is always a beast. That said, this is a great saw

The one you picked is probably the best option on the market if you're staying with DeWalt 20v or Milwaukee.
