Porter-Cable 423MAG 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Blade Left Reviews
You can never have too many tools, although several saws is a luxury. This thing is powerful and light. It will do it all for you. I'm not sure why all right-handed saws do not have the blade on the left side. This is my go-to saw. I also have a trim saw for small jobs, but as a starter I would get this. I like the balance better than a worm-drive, but for monster cutting, it's good to have one of those, too.
for a while. As you can imagine, I've seen and used my fair share of circular saws. From 3'. So I was very happy to buy a few of the newer MAG saws when they came out.
It should go without saying a commercial duty tool should NOT break so easily. So, I am back to shopping for the older ones on eBay. And they performed wonderfully. I've owned my own a residential construction business for over 20 years. Porter Cables previous circular saws (743 and 347) were among the best I had ever used. Yes, they were dropped.
The repair guy at the local tool store that caters to contractors said he has seen 100's of these with the same problem. All three of them have broken where the table meets the depth adjustment guide.
Should have gotten one of these a long time ago. Arrived quickly packed in the manufacturer's box. All good. Accurate (square/flat baseplate from the outset) good power, nice weight/balance in the hand, and the directional sawdust exhaust port is a nice feature. The saw works beautifully for rips and crosscuts.
Traditional, bolt-style blade clamps are available [.]., which I will surely be buying. The saw blade that came with it has dished and hits the guard. I did buy the saw locally and it is under warranty, but I am now on my third blade clamp in less than two weeks (partially because it took 1 week to receive the replacement). I bought a HD77M to replace it, no problems with that. After using it to cut 10 boards, the blade clamp self destructed. After researching my options, I selected this saw for several reasons.
I liked the way it felt, I had used the 325 before, I have several other tools from Porter-Cable and it received top rating from Fine Homebuilding in 2004(). I really don't know what else will go wrong once I get to use it. The sight does not track with the blade.
I don't understand how it can be this way, but.I just can't get the saw to follow a straight line. It pulls to the left. A friend in the trades tried it (to show me it DID cut straight, it wasn't the saw, and make fun of me) but had the same problem. I've used lots of circular saws without this problem.
