Amazon.com Review
This DeWalt circular saw is a rugged tool designed with professional carpenters' needs in mind. It has a 15 amp motor that produces a whopping 2,075 watts, which is equivalent to 2-3/4 horsepower. In less scientific terms those numbers mean this saw can slice through lumber like a tornado through a trailer park. If that's a little too fast for you, it also comes with an electric brake for quick stops. The generous 5-1/2-inch base pivots for depth of cut and bevels on a ball-joint mechanism that offers smoother, faster adjustments than the simple hinge arrangement typically found on other saws. It has a bevel capacity of 0 to 50 degrees, and--like the depth-of-cut gauge--the bevel gauge can be easily recalibrated if the saw takes a tumble on the job. Depth-of-cut adjustments are made by unscrewing the front handle a bit, adjusting to the desired depth, and screwing it back down tight. This operation is so smooth it can be done without even changing your grip on the saw, reducing downtime between cuts. The saw's construction is solid throughout and it should live a long life, even on the toughest job sites. Blade changes are quick, thanks in part to the easy-to-reach shaft lock button; however, onboard storage of the blade-changing wrench would be an improvement. This is a great tool for serious professionals in need of serious cutting power. At 12.3 pounds, it isn't the lightest model available, but big power doesn't come in small packages, and 7-1/4-inch sidewinder circular saws don't get any burlier than this. --Brian Trinen

 Best Sidewinder Out There October 26, 2008
Hierphont (USA)
I have owned this saw for at least a year now, and I love it. Great heavy duty circular saw. I like it so much that I even treat it with respect. It is heavy, rugged, well built, powerful, handles well, and easy to use. The only thing that throws me is changing the depth of cut. It is no big deal, fast and easy to do, but the table hinges in back, and other saws I have owned hinge in front. Once I remind myself, its off to the races. I am an avid DIYer, and use the saw cut wonderboard, and framing and sheathing cuts. I also have a 12" De Walt chop saw that handles a lot of the framing chores, but this saw is great. You could build a house from the ground up with it. I don't use a rip guide. I clamp a small lock jaw pliers onto the table. For more accuracy I own the EZ Guide system. I leave the EZ Guide base on this saw. I sacrifice depth of cut, but it is not convenient to change and is useful to have.
Nice Saw! September 7, 2008

I normally don't spend a lot of money on circular saws, but this saw is worth every penny. Very powerful and quiet. Super easy to adjust depth of cut.
Great Saw April 27, 2008

This is certainly one of the best saws I have ever owned. It has enough power to cut through even the wettest pressure treated wood without kicking back or bogging down. I checked the saw blade for square to the shoe and it was perfect. The bevel and depth degrees are clearly marked and easy to adjust. The saw is a little heavy but that can be an advantage when cutting sheet goods.

I bought another one of these to replace one that was stolen. It's bulletproof, dead accurate, and really really hard to break.

I'm not a contractor, just a DIYer. This saw is probably too nice for me, but I love it. I cuts great with good balance. Ripping large pieces of plywood has never been easier. It does a good job of keeping the sawdust away from your face. The case is also convenient and built well. Go ahead and treat yourself to the last circular saw you will probably ever buy.
