DEWALT has introduced the FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 6-1/2-inch Track Saw (DCS520), combining the convenience of cordless with the versatility of a corded track saw. With a brushless motor, specially designed transmission, and precision ground woodworking blade to minimize deflection, the track saw delivers a finished edge similar to a table saw.
The Track Saw is capable of an on-track cut depth of 2-1/8-inch at 90 degrees and 1-5/8-inch at 45 degrees. Including a depth scale to indicate depth of cut, the scale accounts for the thickness of the track from the bottom of the track down to 1/16-inch. With straight plunge and a parallel-link plunge mechanism, the saw can be used in a variety of ergonomic orientations. A dual-edge track allows for setup ease and a long anti-splinter guard length.
Other features of the saw include an anti-kickback function with integrated shoe and variable-speed motor. Without any user adjustment necessary, the anti-kickback function stops the saw from moving backwards along the rail or from climbing out of the work piece when making plunge cuts. A variable speed motor allows the user to change the speed of cut that’s best for the material type and an enclosed guard has a 90 percent dust extraction capability when connected to a dust extraction device designed in accordance with regulations regarding dust emission. In addition, an included 6.5-inch 42-tooth blade gives an accurate finish with little breakout in laminates.
Accessories sold separately for the Track Saw include 46-inch Track (DWS5020), 59-inch Track (DWS5022), 103-inch Track (DWS5023), a Track Connector (DWS5033), a Miter Gauge (DWS5028), as well as Track Clamps (DWS5026) and TSTAK Kit Boxes. The FLEXVOLT 60V MAX 6-1/2-inch Track Saw is optimal for cabinet makers, kitchen fitters, general carpenters, and woodworkers for ripping, cross cutting, and installation applications.
