DEWALT 60V MAX* Circular Saw, 6-1/2-Inch, Cordless TrackSaw, Tool Only (DCS520B)

A little backstory: I purchased PDCS520B to replace an earlier version of Dewalt's 28v cordless tracksaw. The Dewalt 28v version was discontinued, and the batteries are no longer available. There is/was, in my experience (and if you do an internet search you will find others had the same problem experience), a problem with the batteries losing their charge, and once the battery cells dropped below a certain voltage, they could no longer be charged AT ALL! The 28v came with 2 batteries, but reached a point of low voltage, to which they couldn't be charged any longer. So I purchased a 3rd 28v battery online, new in original packaging, at the major online auction site. Unfortunately, this battery too could not be charged. So another $100 down the drain. So, instead of purchasing additional batteries, in a futile attempt to save the 28v saw, I decided to purchase this 60v flex volt cordless tracksaw. The DCS520B functions perfectly, cuts smoothly without slowing down, ramps up to speed quickly, and blade brake stops the blade quickly. I am very satisfied with this version. I just hope there aren't any battery issues with the flex volt platform. If there are future problems, I just hope Dewalt will stand behind their product, instead of abandoning the flex volt platform, and leaving their customers in the lurch. How does the old age go? 'Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.' I will guarantee I will not purchase a 3rd Dewalt saw. FWIW, I had searched in hopes that Milwaukee offered a cordless tracksaw in their M18 platform, but unfortunately A Milwaukee only offers a cordless tracksaw for sale in Europe, but not the United States. Milwaukee has kept their M18v platform around for decades. They could have changed platforms, like Dewalt, and forced their customers to buy all new tools, but Milwaukee did not. Instead, Milwaukee developed new tools around the same M18v battery platform, AND milwaukee still supports their previous tools/platforms, and does not abandon their loyal customers. Milwaukee, PLEASE OFFER YOUR CORDLESS TRACKSAW TO YOUR U.S. customers. (caps for emphasis, not yelling :) ) I purchased the Dewalt DCS520B from Albany Tools here on Amazon. They were great, shipped quickly. Excellent packaging. And arrived on time. Thank you!

Works very well- I use it with a festool track, and it cuts through sheet goods like butter. Incredibly powerful, and seems to have shipped with a pretty nice blade on it. Love that it's compatible with the festool track, so I can use accessories from that ecosystem.

I have a sign shop and I use this with a KREG 8 ft track to make very straight cuts. It works quite well and I will never NOT use it to make straight cuts again. Be aware - the batter does not come with it and costs about $350. For me, I can cut about 100ft of cedar 2 inch 2x10's on a single charge. If it doesn't fully retract, remove the shield and break up the dust clot.

It's a beast. Very solidly made and the included blade seems to be of higher quality than most DeWalt blades. I may be crazy but have accidentally cut through nails and it's still giving me precise cuts with no splintering. I highly recommend it

This saw is a versatile powerful saw. It is easy to adjust, and calibrate the saw. Saw has two track grooves. The center groove is used for Dewalt Track rails & Powertec - Dewalt track rail, the Powertec track I received could have had the splinter guard tape applied better, but its a decent track. The offset groove on the saw allows the Dewalt track saw to be used with a Festool track rail as well. Saw cannot be used with Makita track rails, because the saw will not sit 90 degress to surface, instead it sits about -1 or -2 degress, and the saw can not be adjusted to a negative degree. Saw not work with Kregg Track rails, because on Kregg rails the saw will hang past splinter guard about an inch

I was hesitant on purchasing a trac saw because they are pretty pricey. But I'm glad I did finally it's a hole new experience when it comes to cutting. I love this thing it's got a lot of power for whatever I need to cut and good quality cuts every time.

Wow! If you're gonna spend the money on a track saw then might as well get the upgrade power model 60v. I cut 2x4,2x6 and framing ply without leaving the lowest setting #1 of 10 on the saw. Perfect cuts, low noise and zero tear out. Plus, when I get into cutting heavier, thicker type woods I know the power will be there for me.

Certainly not as precise as a festool but this works great on the jobsite for the value. It has been used daily on a multi level condo- gets the job done.

Um produto robusto e bem construído. Tenho certeza que vai durar muito tempo.

What a beast! I’ve been putting off buying one of these…. I am extremely impressed! I bought the wen track yo go with it…. I needed to do a minor adjustment to the track to make it work…. But well worth it!

La guia está escaza, no la tuvieron en amazon estados unidos ni en amazon México. La encontré en Amazon España y llegó doblada. La tuve que enderezar. Sin embargo,, la sierra es super precisa y con el disco adecuado no astilla la melamina.

Very powerful saw, works great... I did not buy the dewalt tracks though I bought the Festool tracks, it works great with them. Mostly got that one because of my batteries...

awesome. track saws are the most under rated tool in the industry. Can replace expensive panel saws. Cabinet making quality.
