Circular Saw help

[BobDavis88 at aol.com]

Avery,

I recently bought a Skil brand circular saw (Skilsaw used to be an almost 
generic term like Kleenex for tissue or Coke for soft drink). It was about sixty 
or seventy bucks, I think. Easy to adjust angle and height of cut, has laser. 
I used it to cut a bunch of 1x4 and 2x various, as well as 4'x8' sheets of 
sheathing, while roofing. The laser doesn't add much to the cost, and is nice. It 
helps when doing a good quality of rough work; that is, it is accurate enough 
for framing, even without messing with a square during cutting (I used one 
for marking). I am so used to precision woodworking on pianos that it was 
delightfully liberating to cut "close enough for government work" (which was 
surprisingly close). Although I want a 12" compound miter saw, the circular saw is 
versatile enough to be in anyone's toolbox.

The laser is hard to see in bright light (like out of doors), very bright 
indoors.
