Compact Circular Saw Kit for DIYers (DEWALT DWS520K)

The DEWALT DWS520K Track Saw is an excellent choice for finish carpenters, woodworkers, and contractors seeking a portable tool to make straight, splinter-free, and precise cuts. This remarkable saw combines the precision and cut-quality of a table saw, the capacity of a panel saw, and the portability of a circular saw.

The DWS520K TrackSaw travels along an anti-slip aluminum track, enabling the user to make clean, straight, and precise cuts. The zero-clearance track features anti-splinter edges, indicating the exact cut location, ensuring fast, intuitive, predictable, and accurate cut positioning. The track's underside has two friction strips to "grab" the material, keeping the track from moving without the need for additional clamping. The top side of the track has four low-friction glide strips, allowing the saw to smoothly travel along the track. Tracks are available in several lengths, and all wear components are user-replaceable.

Powered by a DEWALT-built, 1,300-watt motor, the DWS520K has the power to cut through hardwoods and all common woodworking and construction materials. The straight plunge mechanism enables the user to make clean, straight, and splinter-free inside (plunge) cuts. A continuous anti-kick-back feature can be engaged, providing additional control by only allowing the saw to move in a forward direction on the track, thus preventing kickback.

The DWS520K also features a dust management system with a universal 1-1/4-inch dust port that collects up to 90 percent of excess dust and debris. A 6-1/2-inch, 48-tooth woodworking blade with a laser-cut plate and precision-ground teeth provides exceptional cut quality, allowing for a 2-1/8-inch depth at a 90-degree bevel and 1-5/8 inches at a 45-degree bevel, enabling the user to cut through a variety of common materials.

DEWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools and accessories, has designed the DWS520K 6-1/2-Inch TrackSaw kit with a 6-1/2-inch (20mm arbor size) 48-tooth ultra-fine finishing blade, a blade wrench, a kit box, and operating instructions. DEWALT tools can be found nationally and internationally wherever tools are sold, and the company has one of the most extensive service and repair networks in North America.

In summary, the 12-amp 6-1/2-inch TrackSaw delivers table saw precision, panel saw capacity, and hand saw portability. The zero-clearance track system and dual anti-splinter edges ensure perfectly straight, splinter-free cuts. The specially designed transmission and precision-ground, laser-cut woodworking blade minimize deflection to deliver a finished edge, just like a table saw. Users can make any cut, anywhere, at any angle, even bevel or inside plunge cuts, as easily as connecting the dots. By attaching a vacuum, up to 90% of the dust gets collected to minimize cleanup.
