DEWALT DCS578B FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw

No, the 'B' in the model number DCS578B indicates that this is a bare tool. It does not come included with a FLEXVOLT 60V MAX battery, a charger, or a storage bag. Users who already own other DEWALT 20V MAX or 60V MAX tools can use their existing batteries to power it.

Because it utilizes a full 7-1/4 inch blade, this saw can achieve a maximum cutting depth of 2-7/16 inches at 90 degrees. When making a 45-degree bevel cut, the maximum depth is 1-5/8 inches. This cutting capacity matches that of traditional corded saws, making it suitable for framing and dimensional lumber.

The FLEXVOLT battery automatically changes its voltage output depending on the tool it is plugged into. When placed in the DCS578B, the battery delivers 60V MAX of power, giving it the cutting force of a corded worm-drive saw. The same battery can be used on standard 20V MAX tools without causing damage.

The DCS578B is a rear-handle circular saw, meaning the blade is located on the left side of the tool. This is different from traditional inline sidewinder saws, which often have the blade on the right. A left-sided blade offers better visibility of the cut line for right-handed users who lean over the saw.
