DeWalt DCS570B

The DCS570 is an 18V brushless cordless circular saw, sold as the DCS570 in the UK and as the DCS570B — the bare tool — in the United States.

Its blade is the reason to look at it. At 184 mm it is a 7¼-inch saw in a category whose median is 165 mm, the 6½-inch size most cordless saws settle on, and the extra diameter shows in the cut: 65 mm at 90° is the sixth deepest of the 30 circular saws in the catalogue that publish a cutting depth, against a median of 61 mm.

It does that without the weight the larger blade would suggest. At 3.31 kg bare it is lighter than the 4.3 kg median across the 130 saws here that publish a weight, and its 5,200 rpm sits just above the category's 5,000.

Compiled from DeWalt’s published figures and the 8 specifications this catalogue holds for the DCS570B. Not a hands-on test.
