THE BEGINNERS LOWDOWN
Here are some tips from others who bought the Dewalt DWE575SB Circular Saw.
This saw is very light compared to other circular saws, and even older models. The electric brake is an additional safety feature that isn’t common in the industry.
This circular saw is not the easiest to use if you have never used one before. However, there are lighter saws available so it should not feel too heavy.
DEWALT DWE575SB BLADE QUALITY
This saw comes with an 18-tooth blade, as mentioned previously. What does this mean for everyday use?
Here is a 257 cm blade to help you understand the concepts. A general rule of thumb is that the smoother a blade’s cut will be, the more it has teeth. Blades with fewer teeth can get more stuff done faster.
Lowes.com also offers another example, where a buyer purchased a new saw after years of struggling to cut. He said that they needed something that could cut through siding.
The saw took on the siding piece like a hot knife taking on butter. The saw cut straight through the siding, did not slow down or show any resistance.
The Diablo 60 tooth blade is a better choice if you need to replace your blade for different types of work. A professional framer from Home Depot said that the saw/blade combination can last for approximately 20 houses of work. However, he recommends using a Diablo blade.
DEWALT DWE575SB SAFETY
This saw gets high marks for safety. A big reason is the electric brake feature. This short video will show you the differences between these two models. One model has an electric brake, the other does not.
Other Notable Reviews
We have already highlighted the saw’s blade, performance and safety. Here are some other reviews that may be of interest to you:
Lowes.com purchaser: I tried a few models before buying this one. I’ve tried makitas, hitachi saws. It was the lightest and most feature-rich saw I have ever used. My saws/tools are used daily by me as a contractor. Although I own many saws, this is my favorite.
It is not a sign of a lower quality saw, but its lighter weight should not be mistaken for inferior quality. This versatile saw is extremely durable and has plenty of power. A larger view window allows for greater accuracy and safety.
This allows you to see more detail of the blade’s cutting without having to search for the best viewing position. It is often directly above the saw. The lever locks allow for quick and accurate adjustments.

You can be confident that you have chosen a winner regardless of whether you’re just starting out with circular saws or how many times you’ve used them.
