Iv only had this thing for about 3 weeks now but have had the chance to cut studs, rafters, and sheathing with it. First thoughts of it was “heavy”! BUT- after more use I found out that that’s not a bad thing unless you just have wimpy arms and wrists! It seems like the weight helps the saw track much better then the lightweight sidewinders im use to. Also easier to control and not so finicky. I love not looking over the saw to see the blade, as Iv always been one to watch the blade more then the shoe guides. And wicked power. Not the high pitch fast blade, but big time torque. I’ll prob get the beam cutting attachment for it too.
Only thing Iv found being January in the northeast, the saw doesn’t love the cold weather. Framing last week in the cold, took a bit to get it warmed up and going full speed.
All in all, I love this saw and it will be my new “go to” framing saw. Great feel, excellent quality, good power, and sounds like it will hold up for a long time from all that Iv read. Sorry sidewinders, you’ve done me good for many years, but Iv found my new baby 😄.
Note- after more research, I definitely want to try the sidewinder southpaw by skilsaw. Looks like that could be a nice one too.
Fast forward to my last project and the bearings have finally started to fail and I could hear the blade whining with no load. I don’t like the idea of a fast spinning cutting blade coming loose if the bearings failed, so I decided to replace it. I was actually excited to upgrade it, because thousands of sheets of plywood and 2x lumber have proven the saw was only sufficient.
I’m very weight sensitive due to a shoulder / arm issue and so I was deciding between the dewalt lightweight sidewinder (slightly lighter than my old craftsman’s) and of a style that I was immensely familiar with and knew how to use safely, and this worm drive, which was about a pound heavier (way lighter than other worm drives) and a completely new style I’d have to learn the nuances of safe use and handling.
I ended up with this worm drive, and all I can say is WOW. It cuts so much better and so smoothly that I’m amazed, and even a little irritated I was given such a cheap saw as a gift previously (not really, but this saw is SO MUCH BETTER in every way!). It’s difficult to put in words how much smoother and better the cut is, but that’s the first thing I noticed and continue to notice. I’m assuming this is due to the power or torque.
There is a slight learning curve how to do some things safely with this, versus a sidewinder, but that’s pretty minimal. Having been reasonably skilled with a sidewinder, I’m so happy I made the switch and would never go back. If I were brand new to saws, I wouldn’t appreciate the difference, and this *might* be a little too much saw to start out with (but not if you’re careful and have a good background with tools and safe use).
Just a recent example of how well this cuts, I was able to cut large width boards, a lot of smaller exterior trim and some compound miter cuts on 6” wide trim with this saw and a speed square. It’s stupid fast and accurate to do with this saw because of its precision adjustments and how well it cuts. In fact, some of the compound cuts are easier and safer with this circular saw than my miter saw, because I’d have to flip and reenter the cut on the opposite end of the miter to complete the cut with my 10” miter saw. This saw just zips all the way through in one stroke. This is so much faster making these cuts, that I’m not sure when I’ll get out the miter saw again. Additionally, not having to get out and clean up a second saw saves even more time, especially when I only have an hour or two to work some days.

Has two sides one for 90 and other for 45 bevel(don't mix up).
The joining bar comes with open key and is sturdy. The clamps are basic but do job and come with track unloke many other tracks on market.
I couldn't buy as kit with 20v pwr core XP SAW here in Canada!!!!!
Only downside is if could have been 5" longer and it doesn't have any anti Friction tape on bottom so can't be used without clamps.
But was finding the weight to be too much so I opted to buy this lightweight version.
It’s so much nicer to use than the original and easier on the arm. Love the hook to hang off joist or saw bench and also the bed is well marked.
I have owned only two of these , they last for about 20 years or more depending how you maintain them.
Definitely recommend for professional or novice they take a beating and and give you quality cutting as well as the power to rip long lengths with ease.
