Makita 5277NB Hypoid Saw
I've owned an earlier model of the Hypoid saw since the early 1990's. Have used it to build decks, additions, finish basements, etc. In all those years of use, the only maintenance performed was to use an air gun to blow it clean at the end of each day. It's never needed any parts except new blades. Have cut through just about every type of material one of these saws can be used for, and as long as the correct blade is mounted, it's a great saw, and easy to follow a cut-line. As with any circular saw, if you need a perfectly straight cut (e.g., trimming a door bottom), use a saw guide of some type. My saw has never lacked for power, and this newer model has even more power.
I find this type of saw safer than circular saws with the handle near the blade, because it's near impossible to have the tool torque out of your hand. This saw is designed for a right-handed person; i.e., with the blade on the left it's much easier (and safer) to see what you're doing, than with the blade on the right. I frequently use just my right hand for guiding the saw -- it's that easy to control. I bought a Hypoid saw because it's lighter than a worm drive saw. That was important to me at the time as I was constructing a 2 x 8 roof truss system 2 stories up. You might want to personally compare the weight of this Makita to a worm drive model, in a local store, before deciding.
