Customers like the performance of the saw. They say it handles well, is easy to use and adjust, and works well for casual cutting. It's a lightly-powered saw that works well, but it's not like a corded saw. It works great for casual cuts in stuff like plywood, but any think cuts. It worked great cutting through 2x4's, 2x10's and 2x12's without an issue, and is carbide tipped and works on soft wood. It has worked out great, small jobs far from an outlet.

* Casual project: A+. It's such a blessing to be able to just pick it up off the shelf, take a foot off of a board and put it back. I can't tell you how elated I was to be able to do this.
* Day project: A+. I used it a number of times all day long for lightweight hobby-type projects (changing batteries a few times, of course, though not as much as you would think).
* Limited professional job: A-. Don't let the minus fool you -- that's still an A! It's just kind of annoying to have to change batteries if you're using it tons.
* Heavy professional job: C. Unfortunately, it heats up quite a bit under heavy use, and once it heats up, it shuts itself off. There's no solution for this other than just waiting around for it to cool down. I'm glad that it has the shutoff circuit, but this means it's never going to be a replacement for your plug-in circular saw. That said, it'll cut just about whatever you throw at it, so it's still worth its salt in a pinch.
As for notes on cuts, I'm afraid it's been too long since I used it to have good solid numbers. I do want to point out, though, that I used it with some really hard tropical woods (Nispero, cuajao, mahagony...) and have two relatively reliable figures in my head for them:
* Doing small cross cuts (like cutting 2x4s and 2x6s to length) I could go just about forever as long as I kept changing batteries (the batteries lasted about 15 minutes under heavy use in these cases).
* Ripping boards was very difficult. I could usually get about 10 to 12 feet in 2" - 3" hardwoods before the saw overheated and stopped. Then I had to just let it rest and pick up again when it was cool.
My first reaction after using this skill saw for a while, was just WOW, this thing is Amazing!!!
The motor they use is smooth as silk, and powerful.
I was hoping to wait till DeWalt incorporated there brushless motor into this skill saw.
But I needed it, so I bought it. Man am I happy I did, I really LOVE this skill saw!
This is a superb saw!
It has all of the features and power of a Top Quality corded skill saw, and it's light weight, with the 4Ah & 5Ah batteries, it does the work of a heavy duty skill saw.
I've been in construction since 1980, and have used most all light and heavy duty power tools. This Skill Saw ranks among the best I've used, in cordless saws.
Just remember your blade choice is the most important factor in how effective this saw will perform. Please see my blade recommendation below.
Others have commented on it's longevity with there batteries (1.5Ah & 2Ah batteries), regarding they drain fast. The smaller DeWalt batteries are going to drain faster. This skill saw is powerful, and puts a heavy load on the batteries. With this saw, you need the High Capacity 4Ah & 5Ah batteries (model 204 & 205) . This saw will work with any and all of DeWalts 20V Max batteries, but the lower capacity batteries aren't recommended.
I only use DeWalts 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah batteries, and with those, I can use this skill saw all day long, with 1 battery lasting most of the day, and usually all of the day.
Features:
-This skill saw has a blade break, which is a very nice feature in any skill saw. As soon as you release the trigger, the break engages, and stops the blade from spinning within seconds.
-This skill saw also directs the cut material away from the user, and away from your line of sight.
-This skill saw has the ability to cut from a directly perpendicular (90 degrees), and also can cut up to a 50 degree angle.
-This is a nice light weight skill saw, and that greatly cuts the fatigue you would feel from using a traditional skill saw, all day long.
-This skill saw allows for a direct line of sight to the blade and working surface. This is much like the design of a worm drive saw (a Roofers Saw), the design of most all other skill saws have the motor and the blade on opposite sides, so the skill saw operator would need to look over the top of the saw, to see his work surface. This is Not the case with this DeWalt Skill Saw!
-The front and the main handle has a rubber over mold, and this gives the operator a great and comfortable grip on the skill saw. This makes it safer, and easier to control.
Blade choice is important!
-This skill saw uses a standard 5/8ths inch arbor, which gives the owner a wide selection of blade choices.
There is a LOT of new blades out today that use think kerf cuts. This means the width of the cut is very thin, usually about 1/16th of an inch thick. Just know that these are basically cheap, and throw away blades.
You also need to know, the thinner the tooth, the faster it will dull.
-Please see Blade recommendation below-
This blade here: Vermont American 6-1/2-Inch 40T Smooth Cut Carbide Teeth Circular Saw Blade , is one of the best blades you can buy for this saw. It's an extremely high quality blade, and the same blades that I use professionally, every day. It can be resharpened many times before needing replacement. It's very sharp, and uses very high quality carbide teeth.
I Very Highly recommend this saw blade!
To end, this DeWalt skill saw is a Professional Quality skill saw, and will last you for many many years.
Everything about this skill saw is very high quality, and built very well.
Very Highly Recommended!!!
Top reviews from other countries
This 6.5" Dewalt is extremely light compared to most 7.25" saws. In fact, our Rigid 7.25" weighs about twice as much. It was a night-and-day difference in ease of control, get better quality cuts, and more pieces done before our hands got tired. The closest competitor was the Milwaukee 6.5" M18 - virtually the same weight but with an 80% higher price tag at the time.
This model also has a "brake" that stops the blade from spinning almost immediately after letting go of the trigger. Beginner DIY'ers will appreciate this safety feature that wasn't in our older Rigid and also isn't in some of the cheaper brands.
The one drawback for a few people will be the smaller 6.5" blade may not cut through thicker pieces in one pass - you'll need to flip the wood over and do a second pass. That's a small issue consider 99% of what we (and probably most people) cut are 2x4's, 2x6's, or plywood that's 1" or less, which this saw cuts with ease.
If you're not already invested in another brand of batteries or don't mind adding another one, this Dewalt is an excellent saw - lightweight, low price for this level of quality, and a brand the pro's know. Don't make the same mistake of buying cheaper brands to save a few bucks - you'll end up replacing them quickly and wasting your money. This one will probably last forever or until they stop making batteries for it.
