The DCS587X1 is DEWALT's 60V FLEXVOLT cordless 7-1/4-in. worm drive style circular saw sold as a kit with a 9.0 Ah FLEXVOLT battery, charger, and contractor bag. Designed for professional framers, concrete formers, carpenters, and general contractors, it features a brushless motor for long runtime and a high-grade magnesium shoe for durability. The Tool-Connect tag-ready design integrates with DEWALT's TOOL CONNECT inventory management system for jobsite asset tracking. Backed by a 3-year limited tool warranty.
What makes the DCS587X1 a worm drive style saw?
The DCS587X1 uses a worm drive gear arrangement where the motor shaft drives a worm gear at 90 degrees to the blade. This delivers more torque than inline (sidewinder) circular saws, making it the preferred choice for professional framers who cut through thick LVL beams, engineered lumber, and stacked decking all day.
What is included in the DCS587X1 kit?
The DCS587X1 kit includes the 60V FLEXVOLT worm drive style circular saw with Tool-Connect, one DCB609 9.0 Ah FLEXVOLT battery, a charger, and a contractor bag. The battery's 60V output is required to reach full performance; a 20V MAX battery will also fit but runs at reduced power.
What is DEWALT Tool-Connect and how does it work on the DCS587X1?
Tool-Connect is DEWALT's Bluetooth-based asset management system. The DCS587X1 is tag-ready, meaning it has an embedded Bluetooth tag that pairs with the DEWALT Tool-Connect app to track tool location, run time, and inventory across jobsites. This is especially useful for contractors managing fleets of tools on multiple projects.
How does the DCS587X1 compare to a corded worm drive saw?
The DCS587X1 eliminates cord drag on large decks and roof systems while delivering comparable torque to corded models through the brushless FLEXVOLT drivetrain. The 9.0 Ah battery provides enough capacity for sustained framing work. Reviewers of the similar DCS577X1 note the saw handles full days of framing cuts on a single charge with a large battery.
Can I use 20V MAX batteries in the DCS587X1?
The DCS587X1 accepts DEWALT FLEXVOLT batteries, which are backward compatible with 20V MAX tools. However, in the DCS587X1 a FLEXVOLT battery operates at 60V for maximum power. Using a 20V-only battery will not deliver full performance for demanding framing cuts.
What blade size does the DCS587X1 use?
The DCS587X1 uses a standard 7-1/4-in. circular saw blade, the same diameter used by most professional-grade worm drive saws. This means existing framing blades, demo blades, and specialty saw blades from DEWALT and other brands will fit without any adapter.
