Overview

Editor's Review: Tool Test: Sidewinder Circular Saws

by Michael Springer review date: January 19, 2012

The C7BMR isn’t Hitachi’s newest saw, but it’s still the company’s top-of-the-line offering, with all the brand’s premium features in one place. Cutline markers, guard operation, and blade visibility are all good, although the view of the blade is somewhat obstructed by the front handle. Bevel angles are set with a smooth cast-metal lever, and the 55° scale has cast-in numbers marked every 5° and an offset slot for the 45° bypass. Stability on this tool was excellent, showing little deflection during heavy use.
