3yrs old, still a great review, very fun and informative!

[@wax-ecstatic]

Picked one of these up last week. Awesome blend of power and technology. My dad would've loved it

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Very beastly didn't bog down much at all very nice new addition to there lineup of circular saws

[@interman7715]

My 575 Flexvolt is so powerful and the ergos are great ,easy to see blade on left and right sides . Full depth rips are the ultimate test and these saws power through it .

[@spark20]

I don't even need a saw and I already want one of these.

[@csabagyenes8346]

Good review, short, straight to the point! I’ve recently upgraded to this saw, looking forward to use it and abuse it! 😄

[@dukedaz8920]

Great saws I have the first one and looks like am gettin this one as well cheers 👌👍

[@johnrice9121]

Nice saw and nice kit for the price. Like the blade brake. Seems super powerful. Don't like to many FlexVolt tools but this one could be my favorite 7 1/4 circular saw. Smooth cuts and looks to be easy to adjust. Great review 👍

[@ToolReviewZone]

Yeah its awesome bro. I am right handed so not my favorite setup, but those who use the left sided blades will love it

[@FIN4L_BOSS]

Clint you are the man. It’s amazing how fast you get new tools. Love your channel. Keep it up and you’ll be well on your way to 100k sub milestone.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha thanks Allen. The channel has been doing really well this past month and hoping to hit 100k soon. If it does, we may be going full time with this bro👊

[@aidlerfernandes3657]

Loved it 100% looking forward in owning one

[@jeffostroff]

We just reviewed the DeWalt DCS575 on our channel a couple of months ago, I love our saw. The specs on this saw appear to be all the exact same as on our DCS575, except this saw claims 47% more power. But beware many companies including DeWalt play specsmanship games. Their claim of 47% more power is that this DCS578X1 is using a 9 AH battery, while my DCS575 is using a 6 AH battery. That does not sound like apples and apples to me.

[@jamessimon7292]

My understanding is that the 575 utilized an 1800 watt motor. The left blade saw uses a 2400 watt motor. This saw is basically the 575 with the more powerful motor. Probably include the 9ah battery to increase run time with the bigger motor.

[@interman7715]

The 575 definitely did not need anymore power ,it's all about marketing hype.

[@toolreviewsandrestorations]

That depth adjustment looks great! I might have to get one when it comes available in France.

[@mikekahotea9197]

You won't be disappointed 😉

[@Stagecharm]

I love this Saw,..I bought the last one at my nearest Home Depot,. They definitely sell out quick

[@roberthill4239]

Nice. Want one. True test was the 6x6

[@longfinger]

I just bought one and it’s a beast! I love it. Anyone know if there is a dust collection port for this saw?

[@johnmflores85]

I had no idea this was coming out. I got the 575 and use it daily. Haven't had any problems with it .

[@jesseas210]

I’m actually getting this tomorrow I’m really excited and can’t wait for the guys at work to be all jealous

[@ToolReviewZone]

Let me know how you like it Jesseas210

[@bigggthinker2151]

Looks like a great saw. l will have one.

[@michaelc7283]

Hi TRZ, I wish DeWalt can make this exact model but with a blade on the left side. Also a cover plate so we can screw on and cover the dust extractor section. I still like the dust coming out on the bottom then the side. I know some like to use a vacuum attachment for indoor work. That's why it will be cool if they can add a cover plate for those that don't. Now a comparison video on both models to see if there's really a big difference.

[@billwedgerfield2266]

Looks like an excellent saw to buy

[@bluemantom77]

Oh man I am in love what a work of art I also like the Skil cordless worm drive circular saw I would love to get my hands on one of them but I ain't complaining I have a Skil sidewinder good with that the design of the DeWalt flexvolt wow thanks for sharing Clint stay safe you and your family nothing well wishes when it's nasty pandemic is all over and said and done with I'll come back to KZbin and I'll support you no matter what

I just saw this video to see if i made the right purchase and seems i did👍🏻👍🏻 great video and amazing how you try to give enough information about the tool.

Awesome, and thanks so much for the comment Eduardo!!!

[@dmitriyk.7461]

I have Milwaukee tools but I like DeWalt tools to I would like to have both of them.

[@22Dylanh]

I would like to know what changed between the dcs575 and the dcs578... is that when dewalt upgraded the cells in their batteries? Did they change the motor? All I see is 47%more power but what changed??

[@barstow611]

I'm definitely getting one of these I need that power for demo

[@PowerToolsForBeginners]

Yo Quiero Dewalt Saw ! great review!

[@rileytaylor1206]

Looks like a beastly saw! I haven't figured out how to cut Lazer straight yet with a right side blade. I'm a left side blade guy and I can cut Lazer straight and don't need a rip fence. I have a dcs 570 and need a fence to cut straight but don't need one for my dcs 391

Yo TRZ!!! Seems like a nice saw. Stay safe brother!

AMOS! You as well my friend 👊👊👊

[@atabor1000]

Buy this saw. Put all the rest you have on Craigslist. Enough Said.

[@DIY-fz9cn]

Awesome review TRZ! I have the DCS575. Is this (DCS578) essentially a beefed up version of it? Also it looks like DeWalt updated the logo on the 9.0 battery.

[@franciscogoya4458]

Highly recommend

[@ivanaguilar8314]

I was a hardcore fan of the makita saws till i got one of these,now i own 3 of them and i gave away my makitas to mi cousin

[@interman7715]

Yep !I was always a Makita saw fan but didn't like their battery 7 1/4 saws and then bought Dewalt 575 Flexvolt and absolutely love it .

[@599_RiD3R]

Nice Video and revies as always. WHere can you get or purchase a dust port adapter if Dewalt makes one or any after market one? Let me know please.

[@shaneatkinson4826]

Best review I have ever seen. PRO

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, awesome!!! Thanks Shane!!!!

[@mediumgrey8674]

Milwaukee has shown us the peak of the 18v platforms capabilities with their recent tablesaw. So this 60v dewalt platform and makita 40v really is the future of tools imo. And I just invested red last year. ☹

[@rodelgalicha2923]

Do you think I can cut granite counter tops with it. Wet cut?? With a diamond blade ??

[@everydaycarry1328]

When you installed the blade did you have to knockout that diamond shaped center on the blade?

[@rysharp1286]

Is this saw worth upgrading from the Flexvolt advantage 20v?

[@scottshipley7376]

I had the regular xr saw, I guy bought it from me on the job site, he tried it and had to have it..I went and bought this one...wish the regular xr batteries would work in it, but no biggie

[@timcorbett9629]

Anyone else have problems with the blade alignment on this saw? Trying to cut using a speed square as a guide, I noticed the saw would feed away from the square, checked the blade in relation to the base plate, and it was 3/16" different from front to back of blade. There is no adjustments, so I ground out the front mount, and trimmed the edges of the base. Found the front mount was really loose, so also had to turn and install a bushing. It's a great saw!

[@alzaraza]

Did someone knows where can I get a replacement for the bolt that holds the blade?

[@gabrielweed9326]

I have been looking for the dust extractor for this and having a hard time finding it

[@AjGalloway95]

Love it Clint, keep it comin man. Wonder how this stacks up against I guess ANY 7-1/4 circ saw of any class coffee or otherwise. I’ve never seen a saw dive into solid treated and not bog even a little.... insane

[@ToolReviewZone]

I really think this could be the most power 7-1/4" out there Austin. Like you said, you usually get a little bog, but this just kept going. I just wish the blade was on the other side because that's how I like it, but still a beast!!!!!

[@AjGalloway95]

Tool Review Zone yeah that’s what i was thinking! Do you think it’s more powerful than the rear handle? Also like to see this up against the power detect with the new 8.0 setup

[@AjGalloway95]

Tool Review Zone yeah I was wondering why they don’t make the exact same body and everything just on the other side like the 6-1/2 ones. Why does it have to be bigger rear handle?

[@bennettshfd2]

No hesitation. Plenty of power!

[@ToolReviewZone]

It's a beast bro💪💪💪

[@pjseiber2774]

👍I see a new saw in my future

[@Mlowe89]

Damn this saw looks nice

[@ToolReviewZone]

Beastly Matt💪💪

[@nsxproperties560]

You should put that up against Milwaukee 2732-20 with 12.0 battery with blade all the way down in pressure treated pine. Workshop addict did a comparison, but it wasn't too good because he had a 8.0 battery in it.

[@FoolisH409]

I just ordered this an it also comes with a. 1/2 impact wrench can’t wait until it gets here. I would have preferred the blade on the left but it’s no deal breaker

Hi, peoples... love the review, I have the 575 and it is a beast..!! I have let a few chippies use my saw on different sites here in the UK and they all said there was only one problem with it.... they had to return to me and not take it home with them....!!

[@igorkoudinov6798]

Anyone know how to tighten the depth leaver? When I have the saw sitting on its lowest depth setting it's a very lose lock and it's sometimes unlocks it's self it's pretty annoying.

[@LilasTools]

does the blade guard catch as much the ridgid octane you reviewed?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Not as bad Lila, but still waaaaay better than the last Makita I reviewed

[@benjaminromshak9904]

They need to make it track compatible like the UK version!!

[@boisetkai]

Is there a power difference between 6amp and 9amp? Or just better life difference?

[@ToolReviewZone]

Longer run time and less sagging in voltage.

[@michaelfairchild]

DeWalt's cost arm and legs in my country. Same with Milwaukee brand.

[@corin164]

Dust extraction is a problem. I realize the blade guard handle passes in front of the dust port that prevents a vac hose attachment to be added to the saw, but with a little more design effort, I think DeWalt could have added a dust collector chute for a dust vac system. Bosch did it on their corded line.

[@elmari3977]

There is a dust collector chute that comes with the saw, you can choose to install it or not

[@badem]

can you compare this with 577?

[@Wroom90]

Too bad it isn't track-compatible. Also the charger is too small for the battery. Otherwise I'd take it for sure! I have a 575, but was very disappointed to find out that it wasn't track-compatible either! Most of the flexvolt tools I've tried are beasts! I love the 54v line!

[@interman7715]

Yes you will get away with one battery if only doing cross cuts but if you do a lot of full depth rips you will need 2 batteries as they will draw a lot of power as any powerful saw will .

[@josephmalinowski6817]

Would you pick the seven and a quarter Milwaukee brushless fuel what would you go with the rear handle Worm Drive saw probably is 7 and 1/4 because like I said the 5 and 1/2 or 5 and 3/8 is really more than enough that I need it's just a little bit of a pain when cutting plywood because you really have to overlook to see where you're cutting the line
