Thread: What type of circular saw do you have?

I've got 2 Makita N5900B one with a rip blade and one with a crosscut blade. Butchers everything I need.

Plus 7 1/4 Ryobi (only for when my arms get tired), Skill saw I think its 6 1/4 and a Mustard coloured B&D 7 1/4 (from the late 60's I think .. can't kill it)

Now I have inherited a cordless Ozito and a Dual saw.

3 Makita's.
2 G.M.C.
1 Ozito.
The G.M.C. and Ozito are because I like to recycle old timber.
The Makita's have a couple of different blades each.

I had a lovely little Hitachi saw which was my favourite, but some one on a job, could not afford a saw, ?????, so I lost it. I still miss that little saw.

I Have a 235mm Makitaand 185mm AegShaun

B&D Sawcat and a Makita I had to buy to replace the old Craftsman at the cottage. Still have the Craftsman but can't find a new switch.

The Craftsman is only around 40 years old, can't understand why Sears no longer carries the parts for it.

and Festool TS55

8 1/4"Makita
10" Hitachi
5" ryobi cordless
about 10 chainsaws

Makita 7 1/4" (5007NB) for when the slabs are to big, heavy and awkward to get to the Table Saw.

Hitachi c7mfa and my dads hand medown 25yo Makita for big hardwoods never missed a beat and always serviced
cheers stevo.

Bosch GKS 190

1) Big heavy unbreakable Makita N5900B I use for cutting hardwood sleeper garden bed walls

2) Bosch Green 71/4" PKS1500 a great smooth to use saw

3) GMC 71/4" MX1275 probably my favourite everyday saw, bought it new in 2004 when the company (Australian) was at it's peak., still going strong

I have an old, black in colour, Black & Decker which has served me well for many years, though it is pretty basic and nowhere near what you would call "precise".
I recently picked up a near new 9 & 1/4 inch Makita which I have yet to use in anger. Probably bigger than what I really need, but I got it for a price too good to refuse.

Other than for cutting down large sheets, I very rarely use a circular saw - I have a mitre saw, table saw, band saw & jigsaw (also an old black in colour Black & Decker),so most of my needs are covered by those. Also have a bit of a collection of handsaws but I've almost forgotten how to use most of those - the only one that sees any sort of regular use is a small, Japanese pull saw.
