65refinyellow Posted July 11, 2022 Report Share Posted July 11, 2022 Often almost any saw new with a new blade cuts it’s straightest the first few times. I found circular saws are notoriously wanderers. Many people prefer table saws, track saws, and sliding miter saws for sheer straightness. I have found that physically heavy saws like the Skil 77/78/Sawsquatch or dual battery 36v Makita rear handled saws cut the straightest. There is too much mass in the tool so it won’t bounce around as much as lighter weight saws. The heavier weight of many rear handled saws promote fatigue and they’re not fun to use long term. I like my moderately heavy Flexvolt sidewinder saw and it has enough mass to not be thrown off a line but doesn’t feel like a mini tank like the two 36 volt Makita rear handled monsters.
