DEWALT, DWS520KTR-QS, Corded 1300 W, 165 mm Plunge Saw

The DEWALT DWS520KTR-QS 1300 W Plunge Saw with 1500 mm Guide Rail is built for straight panel cuts, laminate cutting, door trimming, and renovation work. Powered by a 1300 W corded motor, it achieves a maximum cutting depth of 59 mm at 90° and 44 mm at 45°. These capacities make it suitable for sizing panels and trimming worktops in wood and laminate. A 1500 mm guide rail is included to maintain straight, controlled cuts with consistent alignment across the workpiece. The plunge mechanism allows the blade to engage at any point on the panel rather than requiring a starting edge.

The included 165 mm blade has 48 teeth and a 20 mm bore, a configuration that favours clean cross-cuts. Weighing 5 kg, this plunge saw is manageable for portable use on job sites. Bevel adjustment allows cuts up to 47° for angled joinery work. An integrated dust extraction port connects to DEWALT's AirLock system, reducing airborne dust and improving visibility of the cut line. The ergonomic handle and spindle lock simplify operation and blade changes, while anti-kickback protection adds a safety layer during plunge cuts. Sound power output reaches 103 dB, making hearing protection advisable during extended use.

• Adjustable speed from 1750 to 4000 RPM – match cutting rate to material density and application
• 690 W output power – indicates usable cutting power under load
• Vibration level of 2.5 m/s² overall, 2.8 m/s² in wood – comparative metric for operator fatigue
• Sound pressure level of 92 dB – operator-perceived noise for hearing protection planning
• Compatible with DEWALT T-STAK storage system – integrates with modular workshop organization
