I bought this because the owner of a multimillion dollar construction company uses it. It's the bomb diggity. Now I have the very same one.
This might be a good saw, but it is made in China. I will find one made here by a USA company. Amazon says it is made in USA.
After examining the new saw I decided to send it back and continue with the old saw. The saw has been well reviewed and I was hoping for better quality but I was very disappointed. The foot or base of the saw is thin and looks to be easily damaged. I ordered this saw to replace a 25 year old Milwaukee circular saw that has seen better days. The new saws depth of cut adjustment system was out of alignment. I was worried that the first time I dropped it it would be damaged. The parts didn't line up properly.
This is a solid built tool. For the price, you just can't beat it. The stock blade is crap so be sure to replace it, but I love everything about this saw. It has lots of power it produces accurate and precise cuts, it feels good to hold and overall performs impressively.
It is very steady and powerful. I used it to build a cedar fence. It means to me people have to worry whether price would drop after buyingg anything from Amazon, and likely would delay buying decisions. Was told they will not refund the difference because a new policy in place on Sept 1, 2008. Well, the saw is very good. It is fun to use. Please e-mail or call Amazon to complain about this policy. Unfortunately, the price dropped a day later after I bought it; e-mailed and called Amazon.
