Amazon.com Review
DeWalt designed this replacement for their popular DW359 circular saw to be the lightest and most powerful saw available. The result is a professional-quality tool that weighs 9-1/2 pounds and uses a big 15 amp motor to deliver a maximum of 2,200 watts--just about 3 horsepower. That's a technical way of saying this saw can deliver the power necessary to take on the toughest work on any construction site. The saw's magnesium base plate and guard are part of the key to the low weight. It has a slimmed-down handle, which we found more comfortable than the one on the old model, and a slimmed-down body, which allows for better cut-line visibility. When redesigning the saw, DeWalt also swapped the previous model's 15 amp switch with a 22 amp switch to make burnout at startup less likely. We really like the big 56-degree-maximum bevel capacity, and found that both bevel and depth adjustments were quick, tool-free operations. The one drawback we found with this saw is that if the base gets knocked out of whack, there is no way to recalibrate the bevel or depth gauges. Nonetheless, if what you want is powerful performance and light weight, we think this is a great choice. --Brian Trinen

From the Manufacturer
DeWalt's DW368 is the lightest contractor-grade circular saw available, weighing just 9.5 pounds. DeWalt boosted the power with a 15 amp motor that produces 2,200 maximum watts out at 5,800 rpm. In addition, the main and auxiliary handles are ergonomically designed, giving the saw a comfortable feel, as if it's an extension of the user's arm. The saw's 56-degree beveling capacity allows users to easily cut extreme angles for any given application. The lower guard is designed specifically to improve performance when making bevel cuts or cutting thinner woods such as shims. Clear line of sight at the blade allows users to see their cutting line from any angle. The base plate is made from cast magnesium for durability. Includes saw, 18-tooth carbide blade, blade wrench, and carrying case. Features
