Cat DX56U 15-Amp 7-1/4" Circular Saw – High-Speed 6,000 RPM Corded Wood Cutting Power Tool with 24T Carbide Blade

The Cat DX56U 15-Amp 7-1/4” Corded Circular Saw is engineered for professionals who demand power, precision, and durability on every cut. Built with next-generation technology and the legendary Cat toughness, this high-performance saw is designed to handle heavy-duty framing, ripping, and crosscutting tasks with ease.

Powered by a robust 15-Amp motor, the DX56U delivers an impressive 6,000 RPM no-load speed for smooth, precise, and fast cutting through even the toughest materials. It comes equipped with a 7-1/4” 24T carbide-tipped framing blade for optimal cutting performance and extended blade life.

The saw’s magnesium components provide strength while keeping the tool lightweight and well-balanced, making it ideal for all-day use without fatigue. With a 0–56° bevel capacity and large quick-release levers, adjusting depth and angle is fast and effortless—even with one hand.

Designed with user comfort and safety in mind, the rubber overmold grip offers superior handling, while the lock-off switch prevents accidental starts and the electric brake quickly stops the blade after each cut. An LED work light illuminates your cutline for maximum accuracy, and the extra-long 10-ft trade-length cord with a swiveling ball joint ensures freedom of movement on the jobsite.
