Since the old one was new when my wife and I first wed, we figured it was time. Actually, I figured it was way past due about ten years ago, but it took my wife about this long to come to the same conclusion. What a Dutchman.

Sorry. Posted in the wrong thread. This is the thread about nothing.
No wait. . .seems right!
Some waitress is getting a spanky tonight. . .
Has anyone else ever noticed that circular saws are more suited for cutting left-handed? If you cut right-handed, you tend to look over the top of the saw to see where you're cutting, or maybe look underneath the guard to see if the blade is cutting on its line. If the motor were on the other side, it would be far better. Who the heck designed these things anyway?

I know just what you mean about the side the blade is on, we talk about this all the time onsite - never gets old - 'cause it really doesn't make sense why they do things this way. And yes, the worm drive is the standard ticket for the blade on the left side, what is the logical right-handed carpenter side, 'cause that's the way they all are. I don't like to use worm drives for everyday use. I know some hard-ass small penis carpenters who will only use the worm drive and view it as a carpenter status thing, like if you show up on a job with a circular saw you will get laughed off it. Those hard-asses are losers - it's funny when adults act that way, though. The other standard option is the battery powered circular saw always seem to have the blade on the "right" side - that being the left side - but they have smaller blades. You can also find true left-handed circular saws with the blade on the left side, if you look around. Bosch has one, check it:davintosh wrote:Karl Grau wrote:I use a worm drive Skilsaw.

Detail even says "Left Blade Design gives users the clearest line of sight for easy, accurate cutting". WTF? Make all of them like this, people. BTW I have this saw with the blade on the right side and it really has worked itself out of the factory-adjusted setting over time, requiring more routine maintenance than other models, so keep that in mind.
Look what we have done! Took a great thread about nuthin' and have turned it into almost a thread about power tools. Damn.

I know exactly what you're talking about and even though my penis is HUGE, there definitely was peer pressure. You did NOT want to show up at a job site with a girlie saw. You can't beat it for the blade location and it's ruggedness though...
