My old saw went to the I bind all the time not cutting well file so I went looking for a new one. I read good reviews on the saw and I was looking for light weight saw with a right hand blade drive this one fit the bill so I purchased one from Lowe’s on their handy credit card. I do not use the saw every day but have used it to cut 3/4” plywood, 1” knotty cedar, and rough sawn 1” red oak and it cuts like a dream. I would recommend it to anyone. I’ve listed the spec’s below. Take a look at one when it comes time for a new saw or to replace an old one.

if i need a new circular saw i think i know which one i want
its good that it comes with a good blade too. i use that razor blade as my everyday blade and i love it.
also on the upside it only costs 8 dollars.

I have the older version of this saw. It’s the 347 I think…
version with blade on the left…
It’s a great saw for freehand use. It’s lightweight and
strong. I had it on a panel saw for awhile and it
was reliable there and made nice cuts.
It’s no Skil 77 in terms of power but it’s about half
the weight and sure is easy to handle.

I have the 324Mag and its great. I believe it is the same saw just has the blade on the right instead of the left. In my opinion they are one of the best saws you can buy.
