The DeWalt DW369CSK Heavy Duty 7-1/4-inch Lightweight Circular Saw with High Strength Base is so tough it can withstand a 1-story drop. Strong yet lightweight, this 9.8-pound saw is designed to reduce user fatigue and increase productivity. Other features include a 15 Amp 2,200 MWO motor powerful enough for tough applications and a 56-degree beveling capacity with stops at 45-degrees and 22.5-degrees for aggressive bevel cuts while allowing the user to locate common angles quickly.
Also featured is a clear line of sight that aids in blade visibility from any angle, an electric brake stop that stops the blade after use, and a lower guard design for improved performance when making bevel cuts and cutting shims. This saw weighs 9.8 pounds. This saw comes with a carbide-tipped blade, a blade wrench, and a heavy-duty kit box.
Plug it in, pull the trigger switch and it goes round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and makes a bunch of saw dust while altering the shape of whatever it is cutiing with its round and round and round activity into something desired for assembly into another item.
Works great at going round and round and round and round and making sawdust.
The saw was shipped on time and I recieved it before Christmas. It was a gift for a family member.
My boss purchased this saw as an extra saw on site. Most of the crew own DeWalt circular saws, but quickly found faults with this one. First, as mentioned, the base is missing a corner for some unknown reason. Second, the base is cheap plastic, and I can guarantee that it won’t last more then a month or two. Third, it won’t cut straight due to the slight wobble of the blade. Last, but not least, if you use the saw for more then 30 seconds, it smells like burning wires. I’m shocked that DeWalt puts their name on it.
This is CERTAINLY not a saw that should be used by professionals or anyone who needs to rely on their cuts and the saw that makes them. This is really not much more then a weekend do-it-yourselfer’s saw.
No compaints at all with this saw. It’s lightweight (composite guide), does not scratch or mar the material, and powerfull enough for what I was doing (3/4″ maple plywood).
The 369 doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, but it does everything well. After much hands-on testing against the Bosch, Milwaukee and Porter, the DeWalt turned out to be the best compromise. It is light. It fits small and medium hands better than most. It has a blade brake. Excellent line of sight to the blade contact point. It has a small footplate with the left rear corner cut out. This makes it very maneuverable in tight spots. Yes, it will not follow a fence as easily as a saw with a long footplate, but a good carpenter will have no problem with this. The only thing I totally dislike is the spindle lock. It is a crude metal part with a finger-unfriendly shape and it requires a bit of pressure, so changing blades is unpleasant. Overall, this is the best circ I could find for my needs (remodeling contractor).
