Overview
The DeWalt DCS565B is a 20 volt battery powered saw spinning at 4950 RPM, weighing 6.3 pounds with a 2 inch capacity. The B suffix on DeWalt model numbers typically marks a bare tool sold without a battery or charger.
At 4950 RPM and a compact 6.3 pound body, this reads as a cordless circular saw built for one-handed cuts rather than a stationary machine. The 2 inch capacity is a cutting depth figure, and the high speed steel note likely describes the blade rather than the saw body itself.

Who it's for
Cordless tool users, especially those already on DeWalt's 20 volt battery platform, who want a compact saw for trim and moderate depth cuts. Not the right pick for someone needing deep rip cuts or a corded, high-torque saw.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cordless convenience on the 20V MAX platform
- Compact at 6.3 pounds for one-handed use
- High rated 4950 RPM blade speed
- Rated 4.7 from about 2,300 reviews
- Sold as a bare tool, no battery or charger included
- 2 inch capacity limits it to lighter cutting jobs
Performance notes
4950 RPM keeps the blade moving fast enough for clean cuts in thinner stock, while the 2 inch capacity limits it to lighter material rather than thick dimensional lumber.
