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.
- 20 volt battery powered
- 4950 RPM
- 6.3 pounds
- 2 inch cutting capacity
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.
Pros and cons
- Cordless convenience on the 20V MAX platform
- Compact at 6.3 pounds for one-handed use
- High rated 4950 RPM blade speed
- 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.
