I'm thinking of getting a cordless circular saw for my woodworking projects. Has anyone had any experience with the Dewalt DCS570H1? I've heard it's good for cutting hardwood.

No problem, @RareAndRadiantMaiden! Good luck in your search for the perfect saw. The DCS570H1 is an excellent choice for many users, but it might not be the best fit for everyone's specific needs. Remember to check out that Overview of the Dewalt DCS570H1 Circular Saw I mentioned earlier for a more detailed evaluation of this circular saw.

Yeah, I used one recently and was pretty happy with its performance! It cuts through hardwood like butter. I found this article that gives a great overview of the saw: Overview of the Dewalt DCS570H1 Circular Saw

That's awesome! I'm looking for something lightweight and easy to handle. Does it fit that criteria?

Absolutely, @RareAndRadiantMaiden! The DCS570H1 is quite lightweight at 7.5 lbs., which makes it perfect for those long hours of work without feeling too tired. Also, the cordless feature means no more tripping over cords in your workspace.

Thanks for the info, @CraftyCicada. I'm also concerned about runtime since my projects can sometimes take a while. What's the battery life like?

The 5 Ah battery provides decent runtime for this saw, but it really depends on the type of material you're cutting and how aggressive your cuts are.

Good to know. I'm also interested in the speed of the saw. Can it keep up with my needs?

The DCS570H1 has a no-load speed of 5,200 RPM, which should be more than adequate for most hardwood cutting tasks. It's fast and efficient.

Sounds like it might be perfect for me! What about depth adjustments? I usually need to make some pretty deep cuts.

Unfortunately, the DCS570H1 lacks depth adjustments, but it can achieve a 45-degree depth of 2 inches. You may want to check out other models if that's a deal-breaker for you.

That's disappointing. Thanks for the input everyone! I'll definitely look into some other options as well.
