Editorial Review:
A great addition to the DEWALT 18 volt family, the DC390K Cordless Circular Saw has the capacity for both small and large projects on 1 XRP battery charge. Equipped with a lightweight shoe which bevels to 50 degrees and a 6 1/2 inch blade for 45 degree cuts at 2 inches, the DC390K is ideal for cutting 2-by-4s, ripping plywood or framing when you don't want the hassle of a cord. It's designed to last with a fan-cooled motor and replaceable brushes and is easy to handle at the light weight of just 8.7 pounds. Designed with the blade on the left side and a large cutout in the shoe, this saw has increased visibility for right and left handed operators alike. Other features include: a spindle lock for simple replacement, trigger safety that's easy to operate from any cutting position, and a depth-of-cut lever that can be used even with gloved hands. The DEWALT DC390K comes in a rugged storage case complete with a 1-hour charger, an 18 volt XRP battery pack, (1) 16-Tooth carbide saw blade, (1) blade wrench, and a rip fence.

Disappointed:
Knowing what I know now I would not buy this saw again. My sawdust manufacturing facility is in the cellar and I never build anything that requires a full sheet of plywood. To save on the hassle of power cords I bought this saw to rip plywood as needed into a manageable transporting size. I find this saw to be way underpowered, the blade speed seems extremely slow. I find it very difficult to cut a strait line even when using a guide.
Will pinch your triger finger:
I got this saw as part of the 6pak combo. First thing I noticed is that your finger immediately gets trapped and pinched between the trigger and the handle. Yes it has plenty of power and torque, I was impressed by that when I made my first cut. But all cordless saws, even Ryobi are good enough for what most people need. But everytime I pick this thing up, I am reminded to pull on the triger in an un-natural way so that I dont scrape my index finger against the sharp seem of the plastic handle. This needs... more info
A MUST HAVE!!!:
everything you could expect from a cordless circular. comes with guide. latch on guard is pressure locking, so tends to come loose with constant sawing, but overall a great saw.
Good Saw, But A Little Backwards:
This saw cuts smooth, has a nice little depth gauge feature, and is balanced pretty well. My complaint about it is that it is for a left handed person really. I've never liked these these kinds of saws because if you are a right handed person, then when you need to trim off a 1/2" from a board, you are gonna do it with the board being held in your left hand. With this saw, that sort of cut is difficult because you have no saw base to rest on the board. Some people think it's great because you can easily see... more info
