a) circular saws are amongst the most dangerous power tools. Far more
dangerous than SCMS IMO.

Generally more accidents happen with fixed or bench machines rather than
hand-held - with a circular saw both hands are usually tied up holding
the machine which makes it harder to get them into the path of the
blade. Chops saws etc often claim digits and fine slithers off the free
hand.

Having said that - any type of circular saw takes no prisoners, and the
market for handheld saws will be much bigger.
