DeWalt DCS577 Flexvolt Worm Drive Saw: How To Replace Lower Blade Guard (Part # N515400)

     Released in 2016 along with their new Flexvolt battery system, DeWalt’s DCS577 Flexvolt Worm Drive is a leap forward in cordless circular saw design. Using a single 60V MAX battery, this saw can make well over 300 cuts on a single charge. And built to last a lifetime, this is contractor grade equipment.

     Adding to the durability of the saw are the magnesium shoe and blade guards DeWalt used for a lighter, stronger design. Magnesium is 33% lighter than aluminum, 60% lighter than titanium and 75% lighter than steel. Yet for many applications, magnesium is stronger than all three of those, and can be cast into various parts for virtually anything you want to make lighter and stronger.

     Durable doesn’t mean indestructible, however, and if you’re watching this video it’s likely you’ve found the limit of what your saw can take. The blade guard most often get damaged when dropping the tool but can also just wear over time.

     Fortunately, the lower blade guard is simple to remove and replace by anyone at home using OEM DeWalt parts from mmToolParts.com – a leader in tool repairs for over 80 years! If you think you’re up for the challenge, watch this video and follow me!
