DEWALT DCS565N XR Brushless Circular Saw 18V Bare Unit

Product Information

DCS391 features a brushed motor, while DCS565 boasts a brushless one. What’s the fuss about? Well, a brushless motor is the Rolls Royce of power tool motors. It’s more efficient, lasts longer, and requires less maintenance. In practical terms, this means the DCS565 will likely outlive the DCS391 and deliver more consistent power over time. Thanks to the brushless motor, this compact and easily transportable saw produces a no load speed of 4950rp, The Dewalt DCS565 18V XR Brushless 165mm Circular Saw is an extremely durable tool with an aluminium base for repetitive and precise cuts. I ran the test twice switching batteries between tests to let both saws run the same battery. In both tests the brushless had about 50% better runtime. Features In my testing the 391 had a bit more power under-load than the 565. The 391 was faster on rips and more easily powered through 45° cross cuts. Runtime

Starting with fully charged 5 amp hr batteries the brushless 565 was able to cut 18′ more board feet than the brushed 391. Ergonomics matter when you’re working on long projects. The DCS565 shines here with its rubber over-molded grip, designed to reduce user fatigue. The DCS391 is no slouch either, but the comfort level of the DCS565 takes it up a notch.The DCS391 is an XR tool. It’s also more powerful and cheaper than the 565, but with much less runtime. Example: I had to cut several pieces of trim while on a ladder, and the DCS565 felt noticeably less tiring to use. 7. Battery Compatibility: One Battery, Multiple Tools

Consider how often you’ll be lugging your circular saw around. The DCS565 is a bit lighter than the DCS391. This might not seem like a big deal, but when you’re carrying it from job to job or working overhead, every ounce counts. The reduced weight of the DCS565 can make a noticeable difference in your comfort and mobility.

Step by step

Example: When crafting intricate joinery for a custom bookshelf, the precise adjustments of the DCS565 ensured a perfect fit. 9. Durability: Built to Last The brushless (above right) is more compact and adds a led light, rafter hook, and dust port. Otherwise, these saws are nearly identical.
