Since you can use either hand that is a big advantage and you have
experience with the blade being on either end of your operating position so
I would get the one you prefer unless you want to use a specific hand and if
so then get the blade on the side you want to use for that hand. Some like
to see the blade and others like me like the blade and sawdust do be away
from you. In either case you can use a guide or angle square to make a
precise cut. I have the Milwaukee Tilt Lok and the Bosch CS10. Bosch did a
great job with the Bosch CS10/CS20 in that visibility to the cut line is
still great when the blade is facing away from you. I believe the PCs also
have a pretty good view to the cut line and the sawdust port can be used to
make sure most the sawdust is not getting in your face.

If the circular saws you have been using do the job you need then you may
not want to consider a worm drive due to the extra weight. If you are going
to be cutting a lot of thinner sheet goods you may want to look at the
Milwaukee Tilt Lok [it is available right or left] as the handle can be
adjusted to be very comfortable when you need to adjust depth of cut for
sheet goods and it is a very powerful circular saw for any cutting need.
There are a lot PC reconditioned circular saws available right now with full
warranty on Ebay or at places like Toolking for substantial savings from
new. I have bought a few recon tools and they all looked and worked like
new.

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.
