Overview

Editor's Review: Tool Test: Sidewinder Circular Saws

by Michael Springer review date: January 19, 2012

Adjustments on this saw are excellent. Blade depth is set with an extrawide outboard plastic lever, and bevels rely on a long steel lever that locks with barely any force. There are no detents on the bevel scale, but engraved numbers at each degree combined with the scale’s generous size and accurate adjustable pointer allow for precise settings. Cutline markers are good at both 90° and 45°, and blade visibility is great. This isn’t the lightest saw, but stability is topnotch, thanks to a baseplate-mounted front handle. The rear handle can be rotated into eight positions, allowing you the option of lowering your grip into a pushing position for shallow cuts.
