Finally I have used the Porter Cable MAG423 right bladed circular saw I bought this summer while on holiday. I was cutting up some 3/4 inch hardwood veneer plywood. Actually I stacked three sheets and cut them together as I wanted a number of identical parts. This light, only 10 lb. saw just walked through the work. There is a dust shoot which can be directed to blow the sawdust most anywhere and I really like the tool free blade change or I will anyway when I want to change the blade. Not a bad price either, I believe I paid a hundred and twenty-five bucks for it in July.
The toughest part was working outside, it was only about minus 5 C but a strong north wind and some ice pellets in it. My rotorule and aluminium straight edge and clamps coming out from inside were just warm enough for the ice pellets to stick. Fortunately the plywood had been stored by the delivery men in my shed which has no heat but once cut down and brought in the cold lumber began to condense a little moisture on it's surface. Anyway, I just thought that if anyone out there is looking for Santa to bring a circular saw I can recommend this little beauty. I really like the light weight. You can get the model MAG324 as well, it has the blade on the left.
