## Summary

A 54V FLEXVOLT plunge saw with a 165 mm, 42-tooth blade, 59 mm cutting depth and a parallel plunge action. It runs on DeWalt guide rails with anti-kickback and links to DeWalt extractors through Wireless Tool Control.

## Why this one

- **Parallel plunge**: Hand stays in one position through the whole plunge.
- **Anti-kickback on rail**: Stops the saw moving backwards when plunging mid-panel.
- **59 mm cutting depth**: 55 mm on the guide rail, bevel up to 47°.
- **Wireless Tool Control**: Starts a paired extractor with the saw trigger.

## The story

### Sheet goods and doors on site

Joiners, kitchen fitters and shopfitters use a plunge saw to break down worktops, panels and doors with a finish straight off the saw. The DCS520 cuts 59 mm deep freehand and 55 mm on the rail, enough for most door blanks and stacked boards, with a 42-tooth blade that leaves clean edges in laminate.

### Designed around the rail

The parallel plunge action keeps your hand in the same position from start to finish of the cut. Rail adjusters remove play against DeWalt's 1.0, 1.5 and 2.6 m guide rails, and an anti-kickback catch stops the saw creeping backwards on the rail when plunging into the middle of a panel. Variable speed from 2,500 to 4,200 rpm suits different materials.

### Cordless, but not dusty

The closed guard and AIRLOCK-compatible port make extraction effective, and Wireless Tool Control starts a paired DeWalt extractor with the trigger. It runs on any FLEXVOLT battery, and the bare saw ships in a TSTAK box with blade and wrench.
