Description:
Weighing in at just 9-1/2 pounds, the DeWalt DW368 Heavy Duty 7-1/4-inch Lightweight Circular Saw is designed to reduce user fatigue and increase productivity. With a 15 Amp 2,200 MWO motor, this saw is powerful enough for tough, professional grade applications. Other features include a 56-degree beveling capacity with stops at 45 and 22.5 degrees for aggressive bevel cuts while allowing user to locate common angles quickly, and a magnesium shoe designed for increased durability. A clear line of sight aids in blade visibility from any angle, and a lower guard design improves performance when making bevel cuts and cutting shims. Backed by a manufacturer's 3-year warranty, this saw comes with a carbide-tipped blade and a blade wrench.

i used this saw for a few days--a co-worker has one. it is very light (noticeably lighter than my milwaukee saw), and well balanced. it does feel somewhat cheap, in the plastic-from-walmart sense. when started it also feels a bit rough when compared to its competitors from hitachi and milwaukee, in particular.

br /if weight is a huge issue, consider this saw, but if durability and the feel of quality are bigger issues, go for another.
Great for framing

I've had this now for about a month and there really isn't one thing I could find wrong with this saw. It runs smooth, has a good line of sight, feels well balanced and doesn't bog down on any of the cuts. I also really liked the lower blade guard. It seems to be designed differenty so that it never gets hung up in the material. The case has storage for a couple of blades. I've tried the Porter-Cable, Milwaukee, and Bosch, but this is my favorite.
You can't go wrong with this one

br /If DURABILITY and QUALITY are huge issues to you, consider this saw. But, if you are more concerned with the FEELING of 'durability' and 'quality,' go for another.
