DeWalt 20V MAX XR Circular Saw DCS574B 7-1/4 Inch Brushless Power Detect (5500 RPM 2-9/16 Inch Cut Depth Electric Brake Bare Tool)

DeWalt DCS574B 20V MAX XR 7-1/4-Inch Brushless Cordless Circular Saw Bare Tool with Power Detect

The DeWalt DCS574B 20V MAX XR 7-1/4-Inch Cordless Circular Saw is an industrial wood-cutting power tool engineered with Power Detect technology to deliver up to 54% more power when paired with high-capacity 20V MAX 8.0Ah batteries. Powered by a high-output brushless motor producing 5,500 RPM, this 7.9-pound saw executes deep 2-9/16-inch cuts at 90 degrees and 2-inch cuts at 45 degrees across dimensional framing lumber, plywood sheets, and engineered timber. Outfitted with a 57-degree bevel capacity, integrated LED work light, electronic blade brake, and folding rafter hook, this bare tool configuration provides framing contractors with optimal cutting speed and maneuverability on elevated jobsite structures.

**Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

• Dimensional Wood Framing & Ripping: Executing high-speed cross-cuts and rip cuts through 2x4, 2x6, and engineered headers on residential construction sites.
• Subflooring & Roof Sheathing Installation: Slicing thick OSB sheets and tongue-and-groove plywood decks directly over joist bays.
• Bevel & Rafter Tail Joinery: Cutting complex bevel angles up to 57 degrees for custom roof rafters, valley framing, and truss modifications.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Power Detect Tool Electronics: Internal sensors detect battery chemistry to ramp up power output up to 54% higher when using 8.0Ah or higher batteries.
• High-Torque Brushless Motor: Advanced motor topology delivers a 5,500 RPM no-load speed for rapid, continuous cutting without motor stalling.
• 57-Degree Bevel Adjustment System: Positive detents at 45 and 22.5 degrees streamline bevel layout setup for intricate rafter and hip cuts.
• Automatic Electronic Blade Brake: Rapidly halts blade rotation upon trigger release to protect operators and speed up sequential cutting passes.
• Jobsite LED Cut-Line Illuminator: Bright LED light floods the blade shoe area to maintain clear cut-line visibility in low-light environments.
• Integrated Heavy-Duty Rafter Hook: Folding steel hook allows temporary hanging on ladders and 2x framing members during overhead roof work.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: To gain the full 54% power increase from POWER DETECT technology, operate the saw with a 20V MAX 8.0Ah or 12.0Ah battery pack, which reduces voltage sag when ripping dense wet lumber.
