Skil15 Amp 7-1/4 Inch Magnesium Left Blade Sidewinder Circular Saw Skilsaw - SPT67M8-01

The saw is nicely balanced and easy to handle. The angle and depth controls are easy to adjust and the levers are made of metal (not plastic like on the much less expensive Skilsaw). If you are just an occasional DYI person be CERTAIN to read the directions before you use the saw. Be sure to install the blade with the company logo FACING THE MOTOR HOUSING! Circular saws always cut from the bottom up so the "pointy points" of the blade must always face forward toward the front of the saw. Also, set your depth so that the blade is showing only one-tooth of depth through the wood stock that you may be cutting. In so doing you will have a much cleaner cut with very little splintering on the cutting edges.Also, the cord on the saw is really generous in length. It is ten feet long and of a very heavy gauge. This means the saw can be used for long periods of time without the cord heating up (be careful if you use an extension cord with the saw because the extension cord could be of a lighter gauge and subject to overheat). Note that the saw IS NOT super light in weight. It is not unreasonably heavy but if you are expecting a "feather-weight" saw you will be disappointed.Overall, I am very pleased with the saw's performance and features. Additionally, the price was good and shipping from Amazon was, as usual, great!

This saw is somewhat rare in that it has its blade positioned to the left of the handle. This is typical for battery powered circular saws, but not for corded ones. So it combines the best of both worlds: I can cut with my right hand and easily see the cut line, and enjoy unlimited power. The included blade still just like butter after many months. I don't think I'd change a thing.

Tiene buena fuerza el motor y es relativamente silencioso para una sierra circular, para pesar 4 kg ± no es fácil usarla a una sola mano, el cable es bastante grueso y de buena calidad, tiene su ajuste de altura y ángulo con la llave para el cambio de disco en la zapata

This saw is very handy. I'm older and female so it's hard for me to use heavier tools. Performance is as expected and it's very easy to use. Since the blade is on the left and I'm right handed it's easy to see what your are cutting. I bought specifically for this reason and for the price.

These $90 Skil saws are incredible bang for the buck, the lightweight magnesium platform glides over lumber and they are very accurate. I'm not aware of a better saw with a magnesium platform at this price. This model is a mirror image of the same right-handed model. Also at this price, anyone who cuts a lot of plywood can afford to have both a lefty and a righty for cutting in both directions. The included blade is pretty good but I rarely use stock blades that come with any saw. This model doesn't have an electric brake or a laser, neither of which are important to me, but others might feel these features are worth getting a completely different saw, or a more expensive Skil saw.
