Does the DCS380B has the 4 blade direction positions?

There are 4 blades , 2 facing upwards , 2 facing outwards. Each blade is 1" long , 1/2" wide at the widest part of these blades.☺

Yes it does. What's pictured is the lower blade that is stationary. The blade that moves back and forth is on the top which isn;t pictured.

It is rotary, it will spin at various speeds for cutting, polishing and swirl removal. You don't want a dual action if you want the best results, dual action models are far to light and slow to be effective in the hands of a professional. Just be careful on ridges and corners or you will burn through fast. And watch the antennas and wipers, you will throw them across the shop in a heartbeat if you are not careful.

I'm unsure if they have changed the design, however, the one I order awhile back does have CPM-D2 on the blade

Yes, it actually has three positions. Left, top, and right side for multi-position use.

no, it only goes one direction. I have one and really is a pleasure to use.

CPO says no. But from using this model the blade stops quickly enough you would think it has one. Maybe a couple seconds.

If you reverse the two wires it will spin in the opposite direction. I also think the blade can be flipped if necessary. I'm real sure it will work for you.

I just bought this, and the newer version (Model RACD, Item #60130) does NOT come with the 4. The extra product info indicates that, but I just wanted to verify it for new buyers. Includes: a 10 and a 7FC blade.

Its right handed.....blade is on the right. I'm also right handed and it works perfect.

Nope, but works perfect in the 4 directional configuration. No complains about it.

Yes. It is very well designed and I am really happy with it. Simple to change from forward to reverse, and a cinch to swap out drill bits or driver heads. Really pleased with this purchase!

The manual for the FS 38 says "Never attempt to use a metal blade with this model". In general the manufacturers have different deflectors for metal blades and want you to use bicycle type handlebars. The metal blades may throw heavy debri. I think the special deflector is important. If you are cutting thick vegetation the bicycle handlebars really do help. If you cut thick vegetation, it takes horsepower to keep the blade spinning fast enough to be effective. I haven't used an fs38 so I can't provide an answer specific to it. There seem to be two shaft sizes. Some 25mm blades come with spacers so they can be used on a 20mm shaft. I don't have experience with that but I think the spacers should work fine. If the overall diameter of the rotating metal blade isn't too large you can probably mount it but quite likely you won't be happy nor very safe.

It has multiple positions (three I think). I just use even blades, but I know you can feather it by pushing in the button and twist until the button clicks in the new position.

I have used the blade in 4 different positions at 0, 90, 180, 270 degree positions. Very handy for tighter situations and different materials.

There are versions with more cable inlets. I know there are for 5. Not sure about 4 positions though. It is a very good product.
