Overview
The DEWALT DWS520K is a corded electric saw running on 120 volts, spinning at 4000 RPM off a 1300 watt motor, with a listed capacity of 8 inches and a body weight of 0.69 kilograms.
DEWALT built the DWS520 line as a plunge cut saw meant to run on a guide track for straight, splinter free cuts, and the corded 1300 watt motor here backs that up with steady power rather than battery limited runtime.
- 120 volt, 1300 watt motor
- 4000 RPM
- 8 inch capacity
- 0.69 kilogram weight
Who it's for
Woodworkers and installers cutting sheet goods, countertops or flooring who want straight, repeatable cuts get the most from this saw. It suits occasional rough cutting less well.
Pros and cons
- 1300 watt motor gives steady corded power
- 4000 RPM speed for clean cuts
- Lighter 0.69 kilogram body eases handling
- Corded design ties it to a power outlet
- 8 inch capacity limits it to smaller stock
Performance notes
The 1300 watt motor spins the blade at 4000 RPM, and because it draws power through a cord rather than a battery, output stays consistent through long cuts. At 0.69 kilograms it stays light enough to guide by hand along a track.
