anyone's list anymore.

3) Milwaukee 6391-21 7 1/4" left hand circular saw. I was leaning
toward the Porter Cable 424 MAG 7 1/4" left hand saw, but that quick
release blade do-hicky scares me. I would buy the old version in a
heartbeat if I could find one. The Milwaukee seems to be well
respected. I definitely want a left hand saw. I hate right hand saws
and want a left hand saw. The PC 345 saw boss is certainly of
interest as well. The loss of 5/8" of an inch of cutting depth
wouldn't bother me.

Any suggestions/comments?

Left hand saws are meant to be used with your left hand so that you are not
exposed to the exposed side of the blade. This is a safety feature for left
handers. Something to think about since you are thinking safety and do not
trust the PC quick release.

Okay, answering my own message!

Looking at Tyler Tool's website I can get the Bosch 1584AVSK refurb
for about $50 than the 1591 EVSK. Is the newer version work $50
more?

The biggest difference between the two is that the later model Bosch, the
1591, has a TRUE quick blade release. While the older model blade release
works ok if you like diddeling with the saw when changing blades, the newer
1591 model has a lever you push over and the blade pops out. Its a 1 or 2
second procedure vs. much longer.

Milwaukee saws also have this feature.
