DEWALT XTREME™ 12V MAX BRUSHLESS CIRCULAR SAW DCS512 (Tool Only)
Compact yet powerful, the DEWALT DCS512 delivers professional-grade cutting performance in a lightweight cordless design — perfect for quick crosscuts, sheet goods, and framing tasks where mobility matters. Built on the 12V MAX XR Brushless platform, this saw offers improved efficiency and extended runtime compared to brushed models, giving you consistent power across a range of materials.
Featuring a 5-3/8" blade capacity and adjustable bevel up to 50°, it tackles angled and straight cuts with ease, while the electronic brake enhances safety by stopping the blade quickly after trigger release. A built-in LED work light helps illuminate the cut line for greater accuracy in low-light conditions, and the dust blower clears debris to maintain a clear view of your work surface.
The rugged design includes a cast aluminum base for repeatable precision and a built-in rafter hook for convenient jobsite storage between cuts. Tool-only configuration lets you pair this saw with your existing 12V XR batteries for ultimate flexibility.
