5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Saw, June 29, 2004

This review is from: Porter-Cable 324MAG 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Blade Right (Tools & Home Improvement)

Flawless. All the power you would ever want in a circ saw, with barely half the weight of a worm drive. The cast magnesium base is rock solid, glides easily, and adjusts like a dream. Adjustable dust chute, comfortable grips, solid trigger.

How much did this cost again? Can that really be the price?

This saw takes on all comers.

My shop is fast becoming the domain of Porter Cable, and it's because of tools like this. I have a vivid imagination, and I can't think of anything - anything at all - that could make this a better tool. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful, light, well built and a good price, March 7, 2005

This review is from: Porter-Cable 324MAG 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Blade Right (Tools & Home Improvement)

I've had this saw for several years, and use it for framing, cutting plywood (and other sheetgoods) construction and destruction.

With a fine tooth blade and a cutting jig, I can cut down sheetgoods too large to easily handle on my table saw. The cuts are straight enough for furniture. With a framing blade, it'll cut 2x4's and plywood as fast as I can push the saw. With a junk blade, I'll go on a roof and cut through ply, tar paper, asphalt shingles and nails.

The dust chute blows the dust anywhere you want (well, most of it) or collects it in a bag.

It's light, powerful and durable. It's a great tool.

I love this saw! I looked at the Bosch, Milkwaukee, Dewalt & Makita and settled on this one. It has the best balance of features, power and weight. You can discharge the dust or attach your shop vac to collect it. It's not perfect but it collects 80% of the sawdust, which is great if you have to use it indoors. I also like the tooless blade change and the heavy duty sole plate. A great tool with lots of power {whoa whoa}. I wish the carrying case had storage for a few spare blades but that's my only complaint.
