Porter Cable 324MAG 7-1/4" Circular Saw Blade Right 15 Amp
All circular saws are not equal. This one would sit above the rest even if all that set it apart was its blade-change system. No more wrestling with wrenches---say hello to Porter-Cable's Quik-Change keyless, tool-free blade change setup. It's ingenious in its ease and simplicity. But the good news doesn't stop there. It's aggressive and powerful, cutting cleanly through whatever you feed it. Some really nice features distinguish it, too, like the on-board cord clip that keeps the power cord clear of your cutting line. And the built-in dust port that rotates 205 degrees for efficient dust collection with a 1-inch outlet. Even the handle gets a nod from us, with its soft, comfortable grip. Miter capacity is a versatile 0-50 degrees, and of course, there's a super-accurate positive stop at 45 degrees. Whether you're a dedicated home do-it-yourselfer or a professional, you can't go wrong with this saw.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Excellent saw.:
I bought this saw with some reservation to replace my existing Porter Cable 347's. Those saws were my favorite and I could no longer find them anywhere.

It appeared bulky from the pictures but the actual saw gaurds and the such are not intrusive like I thought they would have been.
The basics are the same as the trusty 347. Nice substantial magnesium base, light weight, lots of power etc., but the subtle improvements (angled... more info
Excellent Saw:
My old Sears circular saw had a base too small to fit on my new EZ Fence saw guide, so I started looking for another one that had an integrated saw dust collection system, blade brake, and laser guide. I only found three saws on the market, Sears, Festool, and Porter Cable even had a dust collection system The Sears version had a laser included, but I figured unnecessary with the guide. It also looked a little "cheap". The Festool was nice, but too expensive. Based on internet recommendations I decided on... more info
Great saw!:
I had been looking to replace my old sidewinder, and found this remanufactured saw to be an unbeatable value. I love the saw and only wish it came stock with a rip guide.
Porter-Cable 324MAG:
I found the Porter-Cable 324MAG Circular Saw to be a great work horse. Plenty of power and light wait for use all day. The quick release feature for the 7-1/4-inch blade makes life easy. The guide and plate are very accurate. I've used many different brands of circular saws but I find this one to be a gem.
