Dewalt DCS578B Flexvolt 60V Max Brushless 7-1/4" Cordless Circular Saw with Brake
Corded Power Without the Cord
The DeWalt DCS578B 60V MAX 7-1/4" Circular Saw* is the most powerful cordless saw in the DeWalt lineup, delivering up to 47% more power than the previous DCS575 model. Engineered for the professional framer, roofer, and general contractor, this saw utilizes FLEXVOLT® technology to provide a staggering 2456 Unit Watts Out (UWO). It doesn't just cut—it dominates through triple-stacked OSB, LVL, and engineered lumber with the speed of a high-end corded tool.
Safety and efficiency are at the forefront of this design. The integrated electronic brake stops the blade immediately after the trigger is released, allowing you to move to your next cut faster and with more confidence. With a high-grade magnesium shoe and a built-in LED light for superior line-of-sight visibility, the DCS578B is the ultimate heavy-duty cutting solution for the modern jobsite.
Why the DeWalt DCS578B is the Ultimate Professional Saw:
- 60V Brushless Performance: High-efficiency motor delivers massive torque and 5,800 RPM for the fastest cutting in its class.
- Electronic Brake: Enhances jobsite safety by stopping the blade instantly upon trigger release.
- High-Visibility LED: Illuminates the cut line in low-light conditions, ensuring surgical precision during early morning or late evening shifts.
- Integrated Rafter Hook: Tough, fold-away hook allows for quick and secure storage on the jobsite between cuts.
- Rugged Magnesium Shoe: Provides a durable, lightweight, and flat base for long-term accuracy and reduced user fatigue.
