makita 185mm corded [ 15 years old]
makita 18v 160mm
makita corded tracksaw
the 185mm has been retired for now, it gets pulled out every now and then when i do some reno work round the house if the job it too much for the 18v, otherwise
majority of the work has been done with the 18v.
the tracksaw gets the royal treatment and is only used for work / joinery purposes only.

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.

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.

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

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.
