DeWalt 20V MAx 6 1/2" circular saw

[Cope]

Does anyone have experience with this saw? I'm heavily vested in DeWalt 20V, so I am not interested in any other brand.

I have one. It does it's job. Anything specific you are looking for.

I had one, it worked well. If you want more capacity there are two other options...

I wish either of those came blade left.

I have a great blade right porter cable corded, but have been thinking about the one in the first post for a bit, particularly for breaking down sheet goods.

What size battery are you running and how is the runtime

Just thinking about getting one. Wondered how well it worked. Would be using it for fencing and 2x4.

We've had the same saw for about a year, it works very well compared to the older Milwaukee's we had. It runs much better/longer on the 5.0 ah than the 3.0 ah batteries. Cross cutting 1X or 2X material is fine, ripping is more limited when it comes to power.

Thanks for the input. I picked one up and ordered a couple 5.0 AH batteries.

The contractor who dried in my cabin used one quite a bit and says he wouldn't want to be without it now that he has one.

I wish either of those came blade left.

I am confused by the trend from the big three cordless tool brands (and others) to make their left blade saws 6.5" and their right blade saws 7 1/4". To me I'd prefer it to be the opposite. Anyone else?

I know Makita has the left blade, rear handle saw out but I don't really need anything like that.

I just used one today to cut 1/2" OSB. It felt stronger than any other battery saw I have ever used. DeWalt 14.4, Milwaukee M18, Ryobi 18v Mikita 9.6v.

with 5 ah batteries they work quite well

I use the same saw every day. If you want a cleaner cut, pick up a better blade : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LFCK43A/?tag=atomicindus08-20 .

Thanks, I bought a Diablo 40 tooth when I got the saw, but I'm getting one of those.
