Built for demanding metal work, the DEWALT DCS383B 20V MAX XR 7-1/4″ Metal-Cutting Circular Saw pairs a high-efficiency brushless motor with a large 7-1/4″ 48T blade to deliver up to 1,400 MWO of cutting power. The engineered lower speed (1,000 RPM) and carbide-tooth geometry are tuned for ferrous and non-ferrous metals, helping produce cooler, cleaner cuts than a grinder on common materials like steel studs, corrugated decking, Unistrut, conduit, and plate. An integrated chip collector helps keep debris contained, while the electronic brake stops the blade in under a second when you release the trigger. Depth-of-cut reaches up to 2-5/8″, giving crews the capacity to slice through stacked light-gauge materials and deeper profiles in one pass.
This saw is compatible with DEWALT TOOL CONNECT+ for asset tracking, utilization insights, and location data inside the Site Manager™ app, making it easier for supervisors to manage fleets across jobs. A durable shoe and guarded blade system support straight tracking and jobsite reliability, and the sidewinder layout feels familiar if you already run DEWALT framing saws. As part of the 20V MAX platform, the DCS383B runs on the same lithium-ion batteries used across your cordless tools (battery and charger sold separately). It’s a practical choice for crews that want metal cutting performance, portability, and accountability in one tool.

Professionals in framing, MEP, and fabrication benefit from the saw’s combination of capacity and control. The 7-1/4″ blade improves reach on decking and stud bundles, while the tuned RPM and carbide teeth help reduce burrs and heat discoloration on thin materials. For maintenance teams, cordless portability speeds change-outs and limits setup time in occupied facilities. Supervisors appreciate the TOOL CONNECT+ capability, which helps track utilization and reduce lost tools across large sites. With chip collection, an electronic brake, and depth adjustment, crews get predictable cuts and less cleanup, which translates into fewer touch-ups and faster progress on repetitive tasks.
