This review is from: Skil SHD77M 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Mag Worm Drive Circular Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)
I've used this saw for many years in construction and it's never let me down. I've noticed the complaints about the shoe plate. It's designed to have less drag so it has high points on it. Unless you've bent it it should work great. After bending it (and you will if you work it hard) you have to use care to bend it back properly. I keep mine sanded with emery cloth for a very smooth cut. Because of the design of the shoe I did use a diamond bur to enlarge the slot in the 45 degree pivot so I can get a perfect 90 degrees after years of use. I've yet to have trouble cutting even the hardest woods.
