The grip feels comfortable and natural, and the foregrip is well-positioned and feels natural when making cuts.<\/p>\n<p>One interesting feature you\u2019ll probably notice right away is the integrated blade changing wrench tucked underneath the power cord. It\u2019s conveniently located out of the way and is easy enough to use when changing blades. \u00a0This is a super handy feature, and means you\u2019ll never need to scour your toolbox or garage for the right sized wrench again!<\/p>\n<p>A 24-tooth rough-cut framing blade comes included with the saw, which I replaced with an all-purpose 40-tooth blade for all-around use.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DEWALT-DWE575-7-1-Lightweight-Circular\/dp\/B007QUZ106?&#038;linkCode=ll1&#038;tag=homeimprovementscout-20&#038;linkId=435fc946c53713a307ac0c9afaf368c5&#038;language=en_US&#038;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#d93f2c;border-color:#ae3324;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#e5796c;border-radius:5px;-moz-border-radius:5px;-webkit-border-radius:5px;text-shadow:none;-moz-text-shadow:none;-webkit-text-shadow:none\"> <b>View On Amazon<\/b><\/span><\/a>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Specs\"><\/span><strong>Specs <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Tool weight: <\/strong>8 lbs.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bevel capacity: <\/strong>57 degrees<\/li>\n<li><strong>Depth of cut: <\/strong>55\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Motor size:<\/strong> 15 Amp<\/li>\n<li><strong>Blade diameter: <\/strong>7 \u00bc\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Features\"><\/span><strong>Key Features<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to cutting down on weight, DeWalt has added a number of other features and upgrades to the DeWalt DWE575 circular saw. Let\u2019s take a look at these in more detail, as well as break down how the saw performs during various cutting tasks.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shoe_and_Blade_Guard\"><\/span><strong>Shoe and Blade Guard <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The shoe is made from solid high-grade aluminum, which is one of the ways DeWalt\u2019s been able to cut down on weight from previous magnesium shoe models. While it&#8217;s certainly light, it still manages to feel incredibly solid in hand, giving the impression that it will easily withstand the inevitable jobsite drops and falls onto hard surfaces.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_697\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-697\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-697 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shoe-and-blade-guard.jpg?resize=800%2C542&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"shoe and blade guard up close\" width=\"800\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shoe-and-blade-guard.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shoe-and-blade-guard.jpg?resize=300%2C203&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/shoe-and-blade-guard.jpg?resize=768%2C520&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-697\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aluminum shoe and blade guard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The all-metal lower blade guard is equally impressive, with a butter-smooth ball bearing operation that ensures it won\u2019t snag on anything while you\u2019re making cuts. I had no issues with this guard at all, and hardly noticed it at all when ripping and cross-cutting a variety of materials \u2013 which is exactly what you want in a blade guard.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cutting_Experience\"><\/span><strong>Cutting Experience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first thing I noticed about the saw is that it cuts completely straight and accurately right out of the box. This really shouldn\u2019t be exceptional, but with so many circular saws having issues out of the box, this was a welcome find.<\/p>\n<p>The blade height and bevel adjustment levers are really tough and really solid feeling but can be a little stiff to loosen. All of the notches and measurements on the shoe and bevel are etched onto the metal, which makes them a little difficult to see from a distance, but this is relatively minor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-699 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cutting-circular-saw.jpg?resize=797%2C528&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"cutting fencepost with circular saw\" width=\"797\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cutting-circular-saw.jpg?w=797&amp;ssl=1 797w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cutting-circular-saw.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/homeimprovementscout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/cutting-circular-saw.jpg?resize=768%2C509&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 797px) 100vw, 797px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Both ripping and cross-cutting came out smooth and accurate, with clean edges and a factory-like appearance. Cutting without a guide also worked surprisingly well, even when ripping plywood sheets.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-box su-box-style-default\" id=\"\" style=\"border-color:#b97500;border-radius:3px\"><div class=\"su-box-title\" style=\"background-color:#ECA804;color:#FFFFFF;border-top-left-radius:1px;border-top-right-radius:1px\">A note about electric brakes:<\/div><div class=\"su-box-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"border-bottom-left-radius:1px;border-bottom-right-radius:1px\">One thing you\u2019ll notice is that the saw doesn\u2019t utilize an electric brake. An electric brake stops the saw blade from spinning as soon as the trigger is released. This means you don\u2019t need to wait for the blade to stop spinning before you can put it down safely. This isn\u2019t necessary but is a handy feature to have, especially if you plan on using the saw on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, DeWalt makes an identical model with an integrated electric brake. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/DEWALT-DWE575SB-Lightweight-Circular-Electric\/dp\/B007QUZ16A?&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=homeimprovementscout-20&amp;linkId=cbb0fcd9d9243ece24cbedb2ec43352e&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DeWalt DWE575SB<\/a> makes an excellent choice for carpenters, general contractors, and other professionals, and also comes with a soft case and soft grip.<\/div><\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design_Features\"><\/span><strong>Design Features <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that DeWalt\u2019s put some serious thought into the saw\u2019s design.<\/p>\n<p>The ToughCord system prevents cord pull-outs from occurring, which is a welcome feature for those of us who sometimes like to raise and lower power tools by their cords!<\/p>\n<p>An integrated dust blower keeps your cutting surface clean and easy to see, which can be a serious game-changer when you need to make cuts without a guide.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price\"><\/span><strong>Price<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Lastly, no tool review would be complete without some consideration of the price.<\/p>\n<p>DeWalt has priced the saw competitively, at approximately $120 retail pricing, and $10 to $20 more for the electric brake model.
