The DCS378P1 is DEWALT's 20V MAX* XR® brushless mid-size portable band saw kit, paired with a 5.0Ah battery, charger, and kit bag. The brushless motor delivers 535 MWO at 570 SFPM through a 35-3/8 in. blade with a 3-3/8 in. cut capacity — bridging the gap between compact one-hand saws and full deep-cut models. It cuts 12-gauge strut in as fast as 5.1 seconds and provides up to 120 cuts per charge. Two 18 TPI blades, a blade-tracking wrench, and a kit bag are included. Carries a 3-year limited tool warranty.
How does the DCS378P1 differ from the DCS374P2?
The DCS378P1 is a mid-size bandsaw with a 3-3/8 in. cut capacity and 35-3/8 in. blade running at 570 SFPM. The DCS374P2 is a deep-cut model with a 5 in. cut capacity and longer 44-7/8 in. blade at 490 SFPM. The DCS378P1 is lighter and faster; the DCS374P2 handles larger stock.
What is the cut capacity of the DCS378P1?
The DCS378P1 has a 3-3/8 in. round cut capacity. This suits most commercial conduit, strut, pipe, and small structural steel cutting while keeping the tool lighter than a full-size deep-cut saw.
How fast does the DCS378P1 cut through 12-gauge strut?
DEWALT rates the DCS378P1 at as fast as 5.1 seconds per cut through 12-gauge strut and up to 120 cuts per charge using the included 5.0Ah battery.
Does the DCS378P1 kit include more than one blade?
Yes. The P1 kit includes two 18 TPI 35-3/8 in. blades, providing a spare for high-volume commercial use.
What blades does the DCS378P1 use?
The DCS378P1 uses 35-3/8 in. blades, which is a different length than the 44-7/8 in. blades used by the DCS374 and DCS376 deep-cut models. Confirm blade length compatibility before purchasing aftermarket replacements.
Is the DCS378P1 better for electricians than the DCS377B?
For commercial electricians who cut larger conduit diameters (up to 3-3/8 in.) and need higher blade speed (570 SFPM vs the ATOMIC's lower speed), the DCS378P1 is the better choice. For lightweight one-hand overhead cuts in tight spaces, the DCS377B remains the preferred tool.
