The DCS391L1 circular saw houses a 460 MWO motor that delivers 3,7000 RPM for powerful and fast cutting capabilities (view larger.)Power and PerformanceDelivering 3,700 RPM, the DCS391 is 10 percent more powerful than previous DEWALT 6.5-inch cordless circular saws. This, combined with a new 3.0 Ah lithium-ion battery that provides up to 57 percent more runtime versus leading 18-volt lithium-ion tools, leads to a faster speed of cut and the power needed to make the most demanding cuts with ease. Its powerful 460 max-watts-out (MWO) motor delivers the power and speed needed to make demanding cuts, and the three speed settings give professionals the option to select the most appropriate speed for a given task. DEWALT-designed electronics have been built into the circular saw’s switch to provide maximum life for the tool and battery by helping to protect them from overheating, overloading, and deep discharge during use. The included charger has dual voltage capabilities, and it is compatible with both 12-volt max and 20-volt max DEWALT lithium-ion batteries.

Comfort and ConvenienceThe DCS391 offers ergonomic benefits with a lightweight magnesium shoe and a rubber overmold handle grip that provides comfort and control. The comfortable handle and battery slide-pack also allow for improved balance compared with existing DEWALT offerings on the market. It has a bevel capacity of 0-50 degrees, and a 6.5-inch-thin kerf carbide tooth blade provides users with the ability to cut completely through two-by framing lumber at a 45-degree bevel angle—all of which makes it ideal for a variety of applications.

This review is from: DEWALT DCS391L1 20-Volt MAX Li-Ion 3.0 Ah Circular Saw Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)
I am currently in the process of completely gutting and remodeling my house and was in need of some updated tools so I decided to try out the new Dewalt 20v. My main job is doing irrigation work for agricultural applications and am an amateur carpenter so I know my way around a power tool.

My main reason for buying this saw was to cut down 3/4" plywood subfloors without having to manhandle them onto my tablesaw by myself.

First impression: Right out of the box I noticed that the magnesium shoe was extremely flimsy. Any pressure on the handle above the trigger caused the blade to go slightly out of square. All of your pressure has to be on the fromt handle with only the trigger pulled on the top handle. When I inspected this failure more closely, the back of the shoe has nearly 1/2" of up and down movement that correlates to less than perfect cuts.

After using this saw for an afternoon the blade (which never produced clean cuts, however it is a speed cutting blade)was nearly too dull to cut through regular plywood decking. I have ordered a new Diablo 40 tooth blade to replace it so maybe I will have better results

Battery: The battery and ergonomics are one thing they definitely got right on this one! The battery holds a charge long enough to run through anything but solid all day cabinet making, and this saw perfectly fits in my hand.

Overall this is a descent tool, probably more suited to rough framing where perfectly square and smooth cuts aren't necessary. Although I am hoping a better blade will improve the cuts. With care you can keep the cuts square but it should not take so much effort and concentration just to keep the tool square.
