Saw this on some IG feeds of the Avalanche event in Quebec. Brushless 20v Max blade right circular saw.

Prayers have been answered for some lol.

brushless motor

2)

saw the “real thing” at the trade show last week

cheers

does it got a light? Doesn’t look like I see a rafter hook either. You’d think they would be standard on a pro level saw.

Haven’t got any details myself but you would hope so after all the outrage over FlexVolt missing convenience features. 

still no hook lol or blade left saw like a lot of guys wanted

Especially when they already have a blade right full size saw with FlexVolt I thought we would see something to compete with the Fuel 2730. Guess not. 

Not happy about that. Why not keep the blade left like all other 6.5 inch saws on the market!

what convenience features? I know rafter hook and 4 way recip chuck but is there anything else?

hmm why not have one saw that can be both a blade right and a blade left?  Maybe handles could slide off then swap position then the blade could be flipped around. The tool would be smart enough to determine which direction to turn the blade based on what side the handle is connected to.

This is actually a 7.25″ I’m finding out. Interesting but…

Many complaints over lack of blade left. Biggest problem I have with FlexVolt is no adjustable shoe on the recip: lots of blades tossed before they’re done. 

So MIDOGRUMPY is this saw one of the two things you said 

“there are two secrets I can´t take about !…. stay posted”

on the 

 “new ebrochure / on site offers 2017 / phase 2 Flexvolt”

feed??

Adjustable shoes are for depth setting?

Yes exactly. You can use it to put wear on a wider section of blade so you don’t necessarily have 6+ inches of blade stabbing through material.

Yes, but a non-adjustable shoe does that as well

I’m  surprised that Dewalt didn’t add any simple features like a rafter hook

I’d buy one,,,just to have one…if it’s blade right and 7.25 blade I don’t understand that…some wanted blade left 7.25 …I understand if ur not in Flexvolt and want a 7.25 saw ,I get it….but that 20v max won’t compete with the fuel only the Flexvolt beats it…and the rafter hook thing ,,I don’t know anyone on any crew, ever, that uses a rafter hook and hangs a saw up high….all rafters,jack rafters,hip rafters,valley rafters,basterd hip rafters are done by math and cut on a set of horses…..if your cutting stock like that ,you definitely can’t build and have bigger problems then a rafter hook……..yo yo yo I appreciate the pic sir…gotta love the pics

So much hope for the left blade…… disappointing.  After the FV right blade I practically expected the next 20v to be a left….. this is such a bummer  

Cr….you know the 20v has blade left ..not brushless..not 7.25…but it’s a great saw for any DIY project….just not the power of Flexvolt….

Blade right?

This thread gave me cancer.

I mentioned that before on a thread about a Bosch circ saw I believe. 

Would be a cool concept

I have it, use it exclusively, not DYI, for a living…. Want brushless runtime, a small bump in power wouldn’t hurt my feelings either.  Hate right blade saws…. *If* I need a 7.25 there’s a worm drive in the tool trailer but I never need it.

Ya ..the brushless thing is a big deal…wish you left blade guys would get the same as us right blade guys…should be a choice for everyone,even if the profits don’t warrant it….

They do have options, but they aren’t yellow. SB&D needs to understand having an extra couple batteries isn’t a huge deal for everyone.

all they need is a slide mechanism similar to batteries but with less play and is stronger. Wouldn’t be too hard to implement except would be expensive. I find batteries may be secure but tend to be a bit loose when connected to a tool.

All of the above applies to me.

Put a FV battery in your 6 1/2. Longer runtime, more power. The same goes for the 20v miter saw. More power, higher RPMs. I don’t notice the weight on the circular saw, and it doesn’t matter on the SCMS.

I ended up buying a pair of FV batteries for these saws after using the FV battery from my new 60v reciprocating saw.

Game changer.

Yup that appears to be my only option and was/am planning to get a couple FV batteries for that very reason.  To be honest the DCS391 has always done everything I’ve asked and I’m very much pleased with it, I just had high hopes that the next 20V saw would be an upgrade to everything I like about it.  I’m more than happy to keep on using it but hey who wouldn’t want a shinny new one with the latest tech?

I’ve convinced myself that DeWalt is secretly holding out so they can release a Flexvolt worm drive saw. I have no reason to think this, but the new Makita saw (not technically a worm drive, I know) gives me hope.
