5.0 out of 5 stars Fits DCS570 7/14" 20 V saw
Reviewed in Canada on September 1, 2021
This circular saw fit my DCS570 DeWalt saw perfectly. It came with the necessary screw to hold it in place and that fit perfectly as well and was easy to tighten and loosen the hold on the fence. I tested it on a 2x4 and it worked perfectly. I then used it on laminate flooring and for that I had to pinch the loop a bit so that the board would not slide in between the fence and the upper bar. It worked perfectly. It has measurements on the bar but I find that I never use or rely on them so I don't care about measurement scale accuracy.

It is a good accessory to have as it reduces the need to use a table saw in many cases. Nice to get a perfectly straight cut.
