DeWalt DCS565B 20V MAX XR 6-1/2-Inch Brushless Cordless Circular Saw Bare Tool

The DeWalt DCS565B 20V MAX XR 6-1/2-Inch Cordless Circular Saw is an industrial wood-cutting power tool engineered to deliver 4,950 RPM for rapid ripping and cross-cutting of dimensional framing lumber. Powered by an efficient brushless motor that maximizes battery runtime per charge, this 7.85-pound compact saw features a 0 to 50-degree tool-free bevel adjustment lever and an integrated electric brake that stops the blade immediately upon trigger release. Outfitted with a bright LED work light, folding rafter hook, and a dust extraction chute compatible with DeWalt AirLock vacuum systems, this bare tool bare configuration provides professional carpenters with a highly maneuverable framing saw for overhead structural work and ladder use.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

  • Dimensional Lumber Framing: Executing high-speed cross-cuts and rip cuts through 2x4 and 2x6 studs during residential wood framing.
  • Roofing & Sheathing Installations: Trimming OSB and plywood subflooring sheets to size directly on the deck or roof trusses.
  • Compound Angle Joinery: Making precise bevel cuts from 0° to 50° for custom rafter tails and structural brace fitting.

Key Performance & Safety Features

  • High-Efficiency Brushless Motor: Advanced brushless design eliminates carbon brush friction to generate 4,950 RPM and extend battery runtime.
  • Electronic Safety Brake Mechanism: Integrated electric brake halts the spinning blade immediately when the trigger is released to prevent accidental contact.
  • Tool-Free Bevel Adjustment Lever: Quick-release lever enables rapid angle modifications from 0 to 50 degrees for compound bevel cutting.
  • Integrated LED Work Light: Bright nose-mounted LED illuminates the cut line ahead of the blade for precision tracking in dim jobsite lighting.
  • Retractable Rafter Hook: Built-in folding hang hook allows temporary storage on ladder rungs or 2x framing members to prevent drops.
  • AirLock Dust Extraction Chute: Included dust port attachment connects directly to 35mm vacuum hoses or DeWalt AirLock extractors for a clean workspace.
