It requires a rethinking when you first start using
the saw but it comes around pretty well. Right handed
folks also a right handed thought process and you will
need to adjust "slightly".

I'm left handed and left eyed, but I've been weined using right handed
circular saws. Now that I need a new circular saw I'm thinking of buying a
blade-left. My question is: I'll probably hold the saw with either hand. Are
there other advantages to buying a blade-left saw. I'm looking at the
Porter 32x or 42x model. Also, any advice on changing from a side-winder to
a worm/hypoid? Thx.
