Product Review
DeWalt's high-torque framing saw is a good option for people who prefer the torque of a traditional worm drive saw but don't have time (or memory) for the regular oiling worm drives require. It has a 15 amp motor that provides 2,000 watts of output power. The bevel and depth-of-cut gauges cannot be recalibrated, so after taking a few hard jolts users may want to rely on a tape and secondary bevel gauge for accuracy. That said, although the base is narrow, it's one of the toughest bases we've seen and it isn't likely to warp easily. While its design is similar to that of a worm drive saw, the gearing is situated at an angle to the base, keeping the handle closer to the blade and making for better balance and control than what most worm drives offer. The shaft lock button is on the opposite side of the saw from the blade, so blade changes require some awkward hand positioning to use the wrench while holding the button--not an ideal situation, but not a huge inconvenience either. We appreciate the easy external brush access on this tool, which can eliminate a trip to the repair shop as the saw ages. We also like the built-in rafter hook, a bonus feature not found on other circular saws. This DeWalt has only been on the market for three years, so while the hypoid gearing lets it provide the same level of torque as a worm drive saw, it remains to be seen whether it has the long life span we've come to expect from our old worm drives. We think it's a great saw for people looking for a burly circular saw at a reasonable price. --Brian Trinen

Customer Reviews & Comments
I've owned this saw for a couple of years now and really like this thing. I frequently use it to cut stucco and cement. I am always amazed at how fast I can cut through cement with this saw. I just finished building a deck and I had to cut 2' x 2' holes in the patio. It cut like butter. No bogging down. The only thing that slowed it down was the hot warped blade because this thing cut so fast. I find that I like the rafter hanger that you can flip out. It's handy to have a way to hang your saw and not have to hang it from your cord. You can't go wrong with this saw. Update: It's been another 1 1/2 years and this saw still works great. I still find that I need a regular circular saw though. The torque on this saw is so strong that it will really twist in your hand when you pull the trigger. I prefer to use the circular saw on precision work, like doors. But that's the nature of a worm saw. Nothing slows this saw down. It's durable too. I'm hard on my tools. This has met the task.
