The WX429L is corded, runs on 120 V, and draws 4 amps. Standard U.S. residential circuits are 120 V, 15 A, which will support the.

The DCS571B is cordless and runs on 20 V batteries.

The DCS571B motor spins at 4500 rpm and the WX429L motor spins at 3500 rpm. Don’t get too caught up in these numbers, since the manufacturers measure them under ideal conditions, so they don’t have a direct impact on the saw’s real-world capability to handle different material.

The WX429L has a direct drive motor.

Blades & Capacity

Both saws accept 4 1/2” diameter blades and have a 3/8” arbor.

Both products can bevel up to 45°. The DCS571B will cut up to 1 9/16” deep at 90°. The WX429L can cut up to 1 11/16” at an angle of 90° and is able to cut up to 1 1/8” deep at a 45° angle.

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 DeWalt has stops at 90 Degrees.

Both circular saws have the blade on the left side of the saw. 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.
