WeldfabNeil Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I need a new corded circular saw. I have a millwakee fuel cordless but gotta replace my corded. I don't use them a lot but enough to need one. No rush to buy one thoe, so gonna see what you suggest. Who suggests what? I will be using it just around the house.

Poisonfangs85 Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I am a firm believer in the Skill Mag77. They are tried an true workhorses. Most of the guys I work with carry one in their trucks. Including myself. I think I had 5 skil worm drives the last time I checked. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downshftking Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I heard the dewalt 6.5inch circular saw was the best especially the batter powered one that my bro n law has. Comfortable and very handy and small enough for tight spaces and also lasts a lot one a single charge!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fazzman Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 I have a Porter Cable HD 15amp. It cuts like a champ. Its what I use around the house. I use Diablo blades in it althou the blade that comes with it actually isnt all that bad. Have had it for about 2 years now,im left handed so works decent for me. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041K36JC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compact 7-1/4 really really light.http://www.skilsaw.com/product-spt67wm22/I'll second the Skilsaw SPT67. If my corded saw ever bites the dust, the Skilsaw will be it's replacement. I've got the 6-1/2" cordless bosch and brushless Makita, so there is a good chance I won't be needing one for a while.Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing looks so sweet I want one hehe.im not sure what in the UTB Fazzman but if this Skilsaw is it's a pro model saw with a ton of power and no weight. Really high quality saw from Skilsaw. They have separated their types of saws into Skil brand and Skilsaw and the Skilsaw end is all pro end saws. I would add, I would really like to get that Makita brushless saw (I just so.d my Dewalt 20v - actually a fantastic machine) so I can justify a Makita purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bosch doesn't have as much power as the Makita but I have never had an issue with it keeping up and doing just as much as the Makita. It's nice having two great cordless saws to pick from!

ChrisK Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yeah I'm not pulling the trigger yet but that's where I'm going. I would love to try the Fuel out by I don't have any of the Milwaukee M18 tools any longer. Seems like a waste to buy one tool as I'm growing my Bosch and Makita line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are gonna love it. My only complaint is the ruler or gauge on the front is plastic and I have got it caught before and almost snapped it off.

DamianD Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I love my porter cable. Cuts nice, the stock blade isnt bad at all. No laser, I hate cutting with lasers. Came with the saw, rip fence and hard case for under $100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
