lots of safety features get in the way and disrupt workflow and are
unsafe

my hitachi cms has a blade guard that is fine most of the time

I've a circular saw with a safety switch on the handle - right
where I could reach it if my thumb were a half inch longer. Result is
that I have to hold the trigger with one hand while pressing the
safety interlock with the other hand, while moving the saw guard with
the third hand.

Old thread,

Not near as old as some.

True but it was discussed at length then.

I just downloaded 660,000 headers, going back to 2003.


but I had a circular saw that the trigger lock was right
where the thumb rested.

I'm looking for a new circ saw.

Trashed it long ago.
