While Dewalt already has a cordless and brushless 7-1/4″ circular saw, it’s part of the Flexvolt line and only runs on the new 60V batteries which means that current 20V users have to purchase new batteries to run that saw. But luckily for existing Dewalt 20V Max users, Dewalt has now released an all new cordless and brushless 7-1/4″ circular saw that’s specifically designed for existing Dewalt 20V Max batteries.
This is great news because Dewalt 20V users now have a cordless brushless circular saw running full size 7-1/4″ blades. This’ll satisfy current Dewalt 20V users cravings for something that competes directly with other cordless saws running 7-1/4″ blades from competing brands such as Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel 7-1/4″ saw, the current Makita x2 7-1/4″ circular saw and the new brushless rear handle model, and Ridgid’s brushed and brushless GenX5 7-1/4″ models.

- 7.9 lbs weight – without battery
So far it looks very promising and thanks to the brushless motor we can expect more power as it’s stated to “deliver corded capacity”. It has a very good 2-9/16″ cutting capacity at 90 degrees for which is more than enough for easy cutting of 2×4’s in a single pass.
It has an electric brake which is pretty much a standard feature on pro cordless circular saws nowadays. The shoe is made out of aluminum to keep the weight down. Dewalt doesn’t specify what material the blade guards are made of, but I would assume their also made of aluminum since the total weight of the saw without battery is listed as 7.9 lbs without battery.
Pricing for the new brushless circular saw is going to be around $159 and will be out soon.
When was this circular saw released? I can’t find it anywhere.
I wrote about this saw back in mid march and it hadn’t been released yet at the time. Only a month and a half has passed since then, so it should be out soon – is my guess.
I was able to find one listing on Amazon with the new brushless 20v saw, but in a 4 tool brushless combo kit http://amzn.to/2qxqWsN
It also seems to be a pre order listing as shipping wont be till 2 to 5 weeks away.
Dose anyone know when this tool will be released? Can’t find it anywhere except a german ebay seller, asking an outrageous perchase price……..any info would be much appreciated.
