I am right-handed and use the lefty PC (I think the model is 734).

I'm not a bit cirular saw user (at least wasn't until I built my addition).
I really like the lefty, but then I did not have to undo 25 years of
training. My brother in law has the same saw, but the righty one.

He was well-indoctrinated into right-handed-saws. I think using mine bugged
him a bit.

With a lefty you can see the cut much more clearly because the motor is out
of the way. The tradeoff is the the motor is over the waste side of the cut,
so you have to "hold" the saw in balance as you complete a cut.

The PC is also lighter than most of the saws in that range (probably 1 less
amp and 1.5 fewer lbs, a trade-off that suits me just fine).

Cheers,

Steve

I decided that it's time to replace my old low end Skil circular saw and I
was looking for
recommendations. The models that appear to be in the running a
Milwaukee
6390-21,
Porter Cable 324 or the DeWalt 369 CSK. Any and all recommendations and
anecdotes appreciated. Also, I am right handed and have been using a right
handed
saw for over 25 years. Any thoughts on switching over to a left handed
model
would
be useful.
