I'm a DIY enthusiast trying to decide on the best circular saw for my needs. I've borrowed a couple of left blade saws previously, but I really dislike dealing with the sawdust they create. I'm looking specifically for a right blade saw that has decent power but is also lightweight. If the DCF391 were a right blade, I would have snapped it up already. What would be the closest alternative?

Most of their 6 1/2 inch blade models are left-handed. The 7 1/4 inch ones are right-handed, but you likely want to steer clear of the worm drive type. So, if you're set on having a right blade, you might want to check out the DCS565B. It does have an optional dust chute, which could help with the sawdust issue too, even though I haven't personally used that model. The 6 1/2 inch ones are definitely easier to handle.
They even have a clearance sale plus an extra 25% off, but just keep in mind that it’s bare tool only.
I found the DCS570 on clearance at Murdoch's, which might be a good option if you're looking for a deal!
