The DCS379P1 pairs DEWALT's 20V MAX* XR® brushless dual-trigger mid-size band saw with a 5.0Ah battery, charger, and kit bag. The PERFORM & PROTECT™ dual-trigger design requires simultaneous two-hand operation on both the main trigger and the foregrip secondary trigger. The brushless motor delivers 535 MWO at 570 SFPM through a 35-3/8 in. blade with a 3-3/8 in. cut capacity. Includes two 18 TPI blades for extended commercial use. Carries a 3-year limited tool warranty.
What is the difference between the DCS379P1 and DCS379B?
The DCS379P1 is the kit version and includes a 5.0Ah battery, charger, kit bag, and two blades. The DCS379B is the bare tool and includes one blade and a hex wrench. The saw itself is identical.
Why does the DCS379P1 include two blades instead of one?
Kit configurations for commercial-grade tools typically include an extra blade as a convenience for high-volume users. Having a spare blade reduces downtime when the primary blade wears out mid-job.
What is the cut capacity of the DCS379P1?
The DCS379P1 has a 3-3/8 in. round cut capacity at 570 SFPM. This suits commercial conduit, strut, and steel pipe cutting while keeping the tool mid-sized and lighter than a full deep-cut portable band saw.
Does the dual-trigger system add weight compared to the single-trigger DCS378P1?
Both the DCS378P1 and DCS379P1 weigh 15.98 lbs. with battery — the dual-trigger mechanism does not add meaningful weight to the overall kit.
Who should choose the DCS379P1 over the DCS374P2?
Contractors who need two-hand operation compliance and cut stock up to 3-3/8 in. round should choose the DCS379P1. Those who cut larger stock (up to 5 in. deep) without two-hand requirements should choose the DCS374P2 deep-cut kit.
What charger is included with the DCS379P1?
The DCS379P1 includes a DCB1104 charger, which is a compact single-port charger compatible with all DEWALT 20V MAX* lithium-ion batteries.
