DEWALT® Introduces FLEXVOLT® Track Saw

TOWSON, MD (May 23, 2017) – DEWALT introduces the FLEXVOLT® 60V MAX* 6-1/2" Track Saw (DCS520), combining the convenience of cordless with the precision, portability, and versatility of a corded track saw. With an efficient brushless motor, specially designed transmission, and precision ground woodworking blade to minimize deflection, the track saw delivers a finished edge just like a table saw.

The Track Saw is capable of an on-track cut depth of 2-1/8” (54mm) at 90° and 1-5/8” (41mm) at 45°. Including a depth scale to accurately indicate exact depth of cut, the scale accounts for the thickness of the track from the bottom of the track down to 1/16”. With straight plunge and a parallel-link plunge mechanism, the saw can be used in a variety of ergonomic orientations. A dual-edge track allows for fast setup and long anti-splinter guard length. In addition, a rail adjustment feature allows the saw to be accurately adjusted.

Other features of the saw include an anti-kickback function with integrated shoe and variable-speed motor. Without any user adjustment necessary, the anti-kickback function stops the saw from moving backwards along the rail or from climbing out of the work piece when making plunge cuts. A variable speed motor allows the user to change the speed of cut that’s best for the material type and an enclosed guard has a 90% dust extraction capability when connected to a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant regulations regarding dust emission. In addition, an included 6.5” 42-tooth blade gives a fine and accurate finish with very little breakout in laminates.

Accessories sold separately for the Track Saw include 46” Track (DWS5020), 59” Track (DWS5022), 103” Track (DWS5023), a Track Connector (DWS5033), a Miter Gauge (DWS5028), as well as Track Clamps (DWS5026) and TSTAK® Kit Boxes. Available in spring 2017 where DEWALT products are sold, the FLEXVOLT® 60V MAX* 6-1/2" Track Saw is optimal for cabinet makers, kitchen fitters, general carpenters, and woodworkers for ripping, cross cutting, and installation applications.

Available in summer 2017 where DEWALT products are sold, the FLEXVOLT® 60V MAX* 6-1/2" Track Saw will be available kitted with one DCB606 for MSRP $499 (DCS520T1), kitted with a 59” Track and one DCB606 for MSRP $579 (DCS520ST1), and bare for MSRP $379 (DCS520B).
