Sidewinder circular saws are relatively simple. Aside from the need for lots of cutting power, it’s the features that separate one saw from the next. Fine Homebuilding expert Justin Fink shows you what to look for when choosing a circular saw.

Thanks to share your knowledge, excellent video !
thanks, cleverly made video.
most informative pointers. but did miss the most important check.
Nice!
Why are you using a left handed saw if you right handed?
You brought up some good points that a novice DIY guy like me would never have thought of! Great camera angles and clear instructions. Thanks!
please tell me your email i want this product
Nice job mate!
i would have love it if you told me which one to get,
I would have loved if you showed a few brands pros and cons. I get WHY you didn’t give a recommendation, but still.. oh. also I could use a list of the 7 features to look for.
forgot eletric brake and kerf !!!!!
Love my porter cable blade on the left
Features to look for: An aluminum foot plate, a spindle lock, a quiet, low vibration motor, externally accessible motor brushes, no output shaft end play, good cut markings, and a good manufacturer’s warranty and service plan. And remember not to skimp on blade quality.
Pick a name brand saw, and a name brand, thin kerf blade. My personal favorite saw, is a Makita, but Bosch, Porter-Cable, and Milwaukee also make precision saws of top quality.
A good saw is much safer to use, more accurate, and saves much grief to the operator.
Mag plate, Skil or Dewalt. If you are proficient and right handed, get a worm drive. Johnny homeowner that should be using a kid baking oven, should buy the cheapest circ saw menards has and nope for the best, or hire someone to help or just do it for you. There are a few guys that would probably help you learn a bit and cost you a few bucks instead of fingers.
We recently reviewed fourteen of these saws, but won’t tell you which ones had the good features. If you want to know, go buy your own fourteen saws and check them out bwaaaahahahahahahaaaaa!
so which is the best one??!?!?!
Very pleased with your advice! Thanks!
what an ignorant review, using a left hand saw and asking for a “peep” area to see the line, is ignorant of using the wrong handed saw. Get a damp right handed saw, stupid
