DeWalt saws

Your choice depends on your main applications:

Circular saw: Ideal for portable straight cuts on site, cutting panels, beams and construction materials. Choose it if you work on multiple sites without electricity.

Miter saw: Designed for repetitive angle cuts in the workshop. Perfect for moldings, baseboards, frames and finishing work requiring angular precision of ±0.2°.

Band saw: Specialized in cutting metals, tubes, pipes and thick materials. Essential for mechanics and metallurgists requiring curved or plunge cuts.

For versatile professional use, start with a 20V MAX cordless circular saw, then add a miter saw if you perform regular finishing work.

DeWalt saws are scaled according to performance and autonomy:

• Entry level ($150-300): 15A corded circular saws, basic jigsaws. Reliable performance for occasional use or limited budget.
• Mid-range ($300-600): 20V MAX cordless saws with batteries included, 10" miter saws, reciprocating saws. The sweet spot for quality-price ratio for professionals.
• High-end ($600-1200+): 60V FlexVolt saws, 12" sliding compound miter saws, portable band saws. Maximum performance for intensive daily use.

Investing in a set (kit) including battery, charger and saw costs 20-30% less than separate purchase. DeWalt battery compatibility quickly pays back the initial investment.

Absolutely. DeWalt 20V MAX brushless motors generate torque equivalent to 12-15A corded models thanks to intelligent control electronics that maximize every available watt.

Hardwood performance:

• 20V circular saw: cuts easily through maple and other hardwoods in professional use
• Torque maintained even under maximum load thanks to the brushless motor
• 57mm bevel capacity cuts through beams without slowing down

Metal performance:

• Portable band saw quickly cuts through steel tubing
• Reciprocating saw cuts through 16mm rebar without forcing
• Specialized bi-metal blades eliminate any excessive heating

60V FlexVolt models even surpass professional corded saws in starting torque and maintenance under load. The limitation is no longer power but autonomy, solved by 9.0Ah high-capacity batteries.

Prioritize these technical criteria according to your trade:

1. Motor power and speed

• Minimum RPM: 4500+ for circular saws, 3000+ for reciprocating saws
• Brushless motor mandatory for durability and energy efficiency
• Torque maintained under load (quality electronics indicator)

2. Capacity and cutting depth

• Circular saw: minimum 57mm at 90° to cut through 2x6
• Miter saw: 305mm+ opening for crown moldings
• Band saw: accepts tubes/profiles according to your metal inventory

3. Guidance system and precision

• Laser or LED sighting (XPS ideal eliminating parallax)
• Micrometric angle adjustments with preset stops
• Machined aluminum or magnesium base (not stamped)

4. Battery autonomy and compatibility

• Minimum 4.0Ah for continuous professional use
• FlexVolt compatibility if you own other 60V tools
• Residual charge indicator integrated into the tool

5. Safety features and ergonomics

• Electronic brake blade stop <2 seconds (mandatory)
• Anti-jam retractable lower guard
• Anti-vibration overmold grips and lockable trigger

Simple preventive maintenance guarantees 10+ years of intensive service.

After each use:

• Blow dust from motor vents with compressed air
• Clean base and guide with dry cloth
• Check blade tension and cleanliness

Weekly (professional use):

• Lubricate tilting and sliding mechanism (1-2 drops)
• Inspect carbon brushes if non-brushless model
• Test electronic brake and lower guard
• Clean battery contacts with isopropyl alcohol

Monthly:

• Check angle accuracy with certified square
• Recalibrate laser if present (manual procedure)
• Inspect power cord if corded model
• Tighten all mounting nuts and screws

Blades:

• Sharpen carbide blades after 200-300 cuts (professional service)
• Replace bi-metal blades as soon as teeth are damaged
• Clean accumulated resin with specialized solvent

Store your saws in rigid cases at stable temperature. Quebec winter humidity accelerates oxidation of metal components.
