DeWalt designed this replacement for their popular DW359 circular saw to be the lightest and most powerful saw available. The result is a professional-quality tool that weighs 9-1/2 pounds and uses a big 15 amp motor to deliver a maximum of 2,200 watts--just about 3 horsepower. That's a technical way of saying this saw can deliver the power necessary to take on the toughest work on any construction site. The saw's magnesium base plate and guard are part of the key to the low weight. It has a slimmed-down handle, which we found more comfortable than the one on the old model, and a slimmed-down body, which allows for better cut-line visibility. When redesigning the saw, DeWalt also swapped the previous model's 15 amp switch with a 22 amp switch to make burnout at startup less likely. We really like the big 56-degree-maximum bevel capacity, and found that both bevel and depth adjustments were quick, tool-free operations. The one drawback we found with this saw is that if the base gets knocked out of whack, there is no way to recalibrate the bevel or depth gauges. Nonetheless, if what you want is powerful performance and light weight.
