A circular saw is a fairly popular tool in woodworking. There is a huge selection of these devices from different manufacturers on the market. DeWALT circular saws deserve special attention.

What are the features of these tools, let's figure it out.

About the manufacturer

DeWALT is an American trademark. The brand has been known for over 90 years, and during this period has won an excellent reputation in many countries around the world. Products of this brand are also presented in Russia. Their appearance in yellow-black color is patented by the manufacturer and is the hallmark of DeWALT products.

Among the products of this company you will find jigsaws, screwdrivers and, of course, circular saws.

Features and Benefits

The DeWALT circular saw is a compact, but at the same time quite productive tool for cutting wood. It is designed for personal use, not for industrial use.

The advantage of DeWALT saws is their high technology, quality and reliability. But, in addition to these qualities, the tool has other advantages as well.

• Big choice … The manufacturer has a wide range of devices of this type. You can choose their parameters for your tasks.
• Warranty … All circular saws have a 3-year warranty, provided that you use the tool solely, do not rent or resell it.
• Service … A developed network of service centers throughout the country will allow the device to be repaired as soon as possible.
• Ergonomic … The design of the devices is thought out to the smallest detail. The saw is comfortable to grip. The tool has rubberized pads on the handle, it does not slip in the hand.
• On the platform there is an embossed scale for the angle of rotation that will not fade over time.

But the DeWALT circular saws have a drawback. Their cost is quite high in comparison with their Russian counterparts.

How to choose?

There are several aspects to consider when choosing a circular saw.

View

Saws of this manufacturer can be divided into two main types: with battery operation and mains. Circular saws with mains operation are convenient in that they do not need to be charged, the operating time with such a tool is unlimited. But you are "tied" to an outlet, such a tool cannot be used in non-electrified areas.

Battery devices can be used even where there is no power grid. The main thing is that the battery is charged in advance.

When working, the cord does not bother you, your actions are more maneuverable. But the battery is discharged after a while, and work has to be stopped to charge the battery.

But also DeWALT circular saws have different designs. Among the presented assortment, besides the usual hand-held models, there are plunge-cut saws. Their feature is the presence of a guide rail, which allows you to control the depth of lowering the disc into the material being processed. This is useful for sawing grooves in wood, for example.

And also the manufacturer produces table circular saws, which are almost a full-fledged stationary model, only of more compact dimensions, with a convenient parallel guide, a small table and the cutting tool itself.

Characteristics

When buying a circular saw, you should also pay attention to the technical characteristics of the device. Here it is worth considering not only the power of the tool, but also the immersion depth of the disc, the weight of the device.

Convenience

Before buying a circular saw, you should still hold it in your hands. You should be comfortable using it.

Price

The choice of tool depends on the budget that you plan to spend on the tool. Prices for DeWALT circular saws range from 7,000 to 60,000 rubles.
