Bosch CS10 vs. DeWalt DWE575SB

Let’s compare these two circular saws: the Bosch CS10 and the DeWalt DWE575SB.

Features & Benefits

You can read our roundup of the best full-size circular saws.

Power & Motor

Both circular saws are corded, run on 120 V, and draw 15 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support either of the saws.

The CS10 has a motor that spins at 5600 rpm and the DWE575SB has a motor that spins at 5200 rpm. You shouldn’t get too caught up in the RPM numbers, since the manufacturers test them under ideal conditions, and they don’t have a direct correlation with the saw’s real-world ability to handle various types of material.

Both products have a direct-drive motor. Direct-drive motors are usually lighter than other styles, but their side mounting makes the saw a little harder to control.

Blades & Capacity

Both circular saws take 7 1/4” diameter blades and have a 5/8” arbor. Most 8-to-10” blades have a 5/8” arbor hole, so this size arbor maximizes blade compatibility.

The CS10 can bevel up to 56°, will cut up to 2 7/16” at 90°, and can cut up to 1 7/8” deep at an angle of 45°. The DWE575SB can bevel its blade up to 57°, is able to cut up to 2 9/16” at a 90° angle, and will cut up to 2” deep at 45°.

When beveling the saw, most circular saws will have positive stops at common angles such as 45° and 90°. This ensures you are making precise cuts. Some saws have additional stops at other angles.

The Bosch has stops at 22.5° and 45°. The DeWalt has stops at 22.5°, 45°.

Both saws have the blade on the right side of the body. Right-handers sometimes find it easier to see and control blades mounted to the left, while left-handers might find the same true for right-mounted blades.
