When we are framing homes or additions the 7-1/4" Skil Mag gets used. For basic general cuts either a regular 7-1/4" Dewalt sidewinder or a 6-1/2" cordless circular saw.

I see there are a lot of views on the thread, but not so many votes in the poll. I guess most of you have converted to the TS track saw and don't use conventional circular saws so much. I guess that's representative of the type of tradespeople we have there on the forum: those who work with precision and accuracy rather than rough construction.

Peter Halle said:My non Festool saw of choice is an older now discontinued Porter Cable 7.25 with the left hand blade. The dust chute is at the front of the saw and I have managed to hook up dust extraction to it. By itself it eliminates the rear chute dust in the eyes/ face common with other designs. I love the left hand blade for visibility. If I have to replace it I will have few options and probably will go with the Bosch left hand.
