Dewalt circular saws, cordless DCS391 and corded DWE560-GB, long term review

I review my two Dewalt circular saws, the cordless DCS391 and the corded DWE560-GB and compare their various pros and cons, as well as pitting them against each other.

Perfect saw for a lefty like me. I bought an evolution saw with multi material blade. Excellent for pallets

Those saws really need the 5ah batteries.

How do you find the accuracy of the DWE560? Does the foot plate flex a bit? And can you calibrate it if it's not cutting a perfect right angle?

Hi, I don't find the foot plate flexes, but I have to say it use it for very rough work, cutting up pallets etc, so i don't think that I've ever checked for a perfect right angle. I then cut my wood to length and add a straight end using my mitre saw, which I have calibrated to exactly 90 degrees. For a quick rough cut, it is an amazing machine.

You can set the foot plate to whatever angle you want, so yes I believe that you could calibrate it if you needed.
