Dewalt DWE575SB 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw Review

Lightweight Design

This is something that beginners who have little to no experience using circular saws will find most adaptable and consistent. But do not let the comfortable housing fool you, the Dewalt DWE575SB is quite rugged and high-grade with its aluminum base.

It weighs around 8.8lbs which is more convenient and effortless than it is bulky and awkward. And most suited to its lightweight base is the electric brake is working responsively. It will stop the blade cutting after the trigger release. Saving you time and taking more pressure off of your hands during intense work.

Powerful Motor

Circular saws are quite impressive with a 15 amp motor. Compact, stable, and efficient to use, the 15 amp motor delivers excellent performance for heavy-duty applications.

It’s perfect for daily use. It features better power and consistency features than any other compact circular saw I’ve seen. Ideal for a wide variety of use including on-site jobs and home-improvement projects.

With a high-grade motor and 1,950 watts of power, the Dewalt DWE575SB can reach speeds up to 5,200 RPM and it can carry blades of 7-1/4-inch.

Blade Quality

Speaking of blade quality, the Dewalt works well with a carbide-tipped blade. So it’s ready for functional, versatile, and high-speed cuts. It even boasts of a competitive bevel capacity which is 57 degrees with 2 stops at 45 and 22.5 degrees.

The cutting depth and blade’s lower guard are also excellent features that enhance the overall performance and quality of the blades. Something you don’t often see in a lightweight and compact circular saw under 8.8-lbs.

It also comes with a blade-changing wrench that keeps the ergonomics smooth and prevents the blade quality from deteriorating even after intense, long-term use.

Ergonomic Features

The Dewalt has a simple design that is easy to get used to. And it’s also ergonomic and well-organized. For example, you’ll find the tough cord connection to the main housing superior and sturdy. It doesn’t get in the way and is easy to store along with the circular when you’re done using it.

Next up you have the amazing dust blower feature in the front. It’s effective in that by blowing strong air from the sides and sometimes out the back too. This depends on the angle at which you use the circular saw. It’s not very superior in keeping everything dust-free but it does a decent job of cleaning up the mess.

Overall, the Dewalt is easier to handle without going overboard. It doesn’t have too complicated features. And no matter what project you’re handling, it always looks like it’s ready and dependable to use.

Adjustability

There is another thing that stands out in the Dewalt DWE575SB. And that is the ease with which you can make quick and accurate adjustments while using the circular saw.

Lots of beginners often find it difficult to attain the ideal viewing angle working with a circular saw. But with the Dewalt DEW575SB, that is not the case. All the parts that make up the exterior of the circular saw offer better visibility. This includes the lever locks and depth settings. Allowing you to read the angles over the saw accurately without shifting too much.

The lever that controls the bevel stops at 22.5 and 45 degrees is ergonomically sound. Made up of high-quality and rugged metal so it stays tough and is faster to control.
