Good morning,
I'm looking to buy a new circular saw? Does anyone have any recommendations, not too expensive?
Thanks
Gary

Hi Joey - 4600 rpm sounds a little slow to me. My old Milwaukee runs at 5800. You may want to look at this one for another $20

i think it was ken darga who mentioned to look into high HP and RPM ratings so i would like to know ---
because im getting a circular saw as well, for a diy/weekender/hobbyist use only, i would like to know how much is enough to be considered good.
i was at homedepot earlier and im leaning on a SKIL SAW rated at 2.3HP, 4600RPM and 13AMPS priced at $59.

I use the Porter Cable left handed saw and i love it..
i ended up getting the 2.6hp skil saw at 15amps thats the same price with the porter cable and makita.
got it $20 less because it was on sale :D
Joey,
Sound like a good choice and price---for for it.
You'll appreciate the high-speed, for those smooth cuts.
It's got some good rating, at my nearby HD---they sell several of those models.

I also have the Porter Cable, left hand saw. I would not buy a right hand for everything Steve has said. There's my two cents. Also, you would most likely need to order it left hand. They no longer stock them in my Lowes or Home Depot.

hi gary, i have two, one corded and one cordless that i would recommend. the corded one is a proter cable, left hand one, the blade in on the oppistite side you would be used too. for me being right handed its easier to see the blade when cutting, it was about $130 from lowes, they also have a right hand one. the cordless one is a ridgid, dont know the price of it cause it came in a kit. really like both saws, would buy either one again in a heartbeat, hope this helps.

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
