In 1992 after finally realizing that a cheap circular saw wasn't worth the bother, I bought a Makita 5007NB which was great for pretty much everything. Then I learned about Porter-Cable and how well they design their power tools, especially for the professional woodworker. When I found out about the Saw-Boss I was impressed with the built in system for dust collection, its lower weight, and how well it cut with its 9 Amp motor. from Amazon.com I bought this saw before just prior to starting my house construction project. This saw, like most all Porter Cable products, is a well engineered, powerful tool. It is mid/light weight, but has gobs of power. from Amazon.com I bought my Saw Boss back in 1995 to use while restoring a condemned house we bought in North Carolina. I can't imagine the number of boards I've cut with it. from Amazon.com Back when I framed I hauled around a SkillSaw worm drive. As soon as I could I sold it to someone younger and stronger. I have known 2 people that framed their houses with the Saw Boss. I just finished building my shop with this and I still like it. from Amazon.com Too much slop in the gears I guess. In fact ,the main bearing went out and sheared off all the teeth on the arbor. Porter Cable fixed it alright, but it still runs rough. I bought a Skil 5 1/2" trim saw for 20.00 at a pawn shop that cuts circles around the saw boss. from Amazon.com i've now had this saw for 3 years and can say that it is a poorly designed and very cheaply built tool. from Amazon.com in 1992 after finally realizing that a cheap circular saw wasn't worth the bother, i bought a makita 5007nb which was great for pretty much everything. from Amazon.com when bosch wanted $30 for a rip fence for my model 1654, the saw-boss fence was available for less than $10 at my local home depot. from Amazon.com Back when I framed I hauled around a SkillSaw worm drive. As soon as I could I sold it to someone younger and stronger. from Amazon.com Having blade on left side allows you to more easily see your cut. Exhaust nozzle directs sawdust away from face. from Amazon.com
