Need a new saw, 7 1/4. Corded on battery, and what recommendation on each that won't break the bank. I don't need professional grade just something that will last a long time with moderate use. Thanks GS

The little 119$ Makita is the best circ saw out there. Don't fall for bells and whistles...they just add weight.
I work on new home job sites every day, and 9 out of 10 saws framers use are Makita.
My dad has one he bought in '82. I wore out a Dewalt and a Rigid, then bought a Makita. FIL has a big ol bosch with a lazer beam and a big ol motor, problem is everytime you get semi lined up and squeeze the trigger that big ol motor makes it jump sideways.Last edited by Dale Moser; 02-07-2018, 11:23 AM. -
Makita...Comment

I'm a Makita tool guy too. Now with their 5 amp hour batteries and the 36 volt saw option you have some great options depending on your need.Comment

I have a Dewalt with the mag base and its a good saw. If I were to do it again, Id get a worm drive saw so you can see what you are doing if you are right handed. Id buy the Skilsaw Mag 77Comment

Corded. But if you want cordless I'd still go Makita, or Milwaukee.Originally posted by texan4ut View PostComment

Look around at some local pawn shops a bought a practically new skilsaw worm drive with the original blade barely used talked them down to 70.00 out the door I love it but it’s a beast, I also have a Milwaukee sidewinder I bought at a pawn shop very reasonable. Just know what you’re looking for cause there is a lot of overpriced junk out there.
