The “Built Black & Yellow” event also previewed a wider 20V MAX XR refresh: a new Tabless 5Ah XR battery, a fast 2-port charger with active cooling, a new XR oscillating tool, an XR sander, a cordless palm nailer, a cordless brad nailer, After-Work Wear apparel, a robotic concrete floor drilling machine, and 20V Max Cordless REBAR tools. We will cover those as DeWalt releases official pricing and ship dates for each.

Ohio Power Tool’s coverage targets the tradesman who doesn’t always want to set up a table saw. That framing matches DeWalt’s pitch: the DCS525 is a sheet-good saw for cabinet shops, finish carpenters, and remodel crews, not a replacement for a jobsite table saw.
DeWalt has not published official pricing or a ship date as of this update. Given the event is two days long, expect the official reveal (with full pricing, retailer listings, and availability) to land in the next 24-48 hours. We will update this post again once the price sheet drops. Same answer as April: if you’re shopping now, wait.

DeWalt revealed the DCS525 via social media, no official press release yet, but the images are clear. Key confirmed specs:
- Platform: 20V MAX XR, brushless motor
- Blade: 6-1/2″, matching the FlexVolt model’s size
- Variable speed: Dial-adjustable for different materials
- 3mm scoring function: Prevents tear-out on finished surfaces, critical for trim and cabinet work
- Kickback brake technology: Stops the blade on kickback without a riving knife, simplifying setup
- Tool Connect: Wireless communication with compatible dust extractors, the saw talks to your vacuum
- Battery shown: PowerPack 8Ah XR, expect that to be the recommended pack
Pricing and official availability date are not yet confirmed. Given that DeWalt showed this via social channels rather than a press release, a formal launch announcement is likely coming soon.
Why It Matters
Track saws are the go-to solution when you need perfectly straight rip cuts on sheet goods, cleaner than a circular saw on a straightedge, more portable than a table saw. The catch has always been cost and commitment. Most cordless options require high-voltage battery platforms or cost $400+ to get started.
A 20V MAX version opens track saw capability to the tens of millions of tradespeople and serious DIYers already in the DeWalt 20V ecosystem. If the DCS525 is priced below the FlexVolt DCS520, it could become the default recommendation for carpenters, finish guys, and woodworkers who don’t want to invest in a second battery platform just for one tool.
The kickback brake deserves a second mention: eliminating the riving knife removes a setup step and reduces the tool’s complexity. For contractors doing repetitive sheet cuts on a jobsite, that matters.
How It Fits the DeWalt Lineup
DeWalt already sells the DCS520T1 (FlexVolt 60V MAX, ~$369 tool-only) as its flagship cordless track saw. The DCS525 slots below it, same blade size, same compatible tracks, but on a platform most DeWalt users already own batteries for. Both are part of the XR family, so expect similar build quality.
If you’re shopping for a track saw now, it’s worth waiting to see the DCS525’s pricing before committing. Our best track saws roundup covers the current top picks and what to look for, and we’ll update it once the DCS525 specs and pricing are official.

Update: Built Black & Yellow Event Confirms Three SKUs (August 4, 2026)
DeWalt’s “Built Black & Yellow” media event kicked off August 4, 2026 with the DCS525 track saw on display. Ohio Power Tool News covered the event and confirmed three SKUs for the launch:
| SKU | What’s Included |
|---|---|
| DW-DCS525B | Bare tool, no battery, no charger, no tracks |
| DW-DCS525ST | Saw plus two 30-inch tracks (battery and charger sold separately) |
| DW-DCS525STWW1 | Full kit: saw, 8Ah XR battery, charger, connecting rod, two 30-inch tracks |
The WW1 kit answers the most common question from the April announcement: what battery DeWalt recommends for the saw. The 8Ah XR PowerPack is the kit pack, and it’s the same battery DeWalt has been showing on the tool since the social-media tease.
Ohio Power Tool’s coverage targets the tradesman who doesn’t always want to set up a table saw. That framing matches DeWalt’s pitch: the DCS525 is a sheet-good saw for cabinet shops, finish carpenters, and remodel crews, not a replacement for a jobsite table saw.
DeWalt has not published official pricing or a ship date as of this update. Given the event is two days long, expect the official reveal (with full pricing, retailer listings, and availability) to land in the next 24-48 hours. We will update this post again once the price sheet drops. Same answer as April: if you’re shopping now, wait.
The “Built Black & Yellow” event also previewed a wider 20V MAX XR refresh: a new Tabless 5Ah XR battery, a fast 2-port charger with active cooling, a new XR oscillating tool, an XR sander, a cordless palm nailer, a cordless brad nailer, After-Work Wear apparel, a robotic concrete floor drilling machine, and 20V Max Cordless REBAR tools. We will cover those as DeWalt releases official pricing and ship dates for each.
Update source: Ohio Power Tool News, DeWalt 20V MAX XR 6-1/2-Inch Plunge Track Saw
DeWalt just announced the DCS525, its first 20V MAX XR cordless track saw, and it’s a bigger deal than it sounds.
Until now, if you wanted a DeWalt cordless track saw, you were buying into the FlexVolt ecosystem: heavier batteries, higher cost, and a tool (DCS520) that runs about $370 bare. The DCS525 changes the math by putting a full-featured track saw on the same 20V MAX platform powering millions of existing DeWalt drills, drivers, and saws.
