Summary: Great Saw
Comment: Arrived quickly packed in the manufacturer's box. All good. The saw works beautifully for rips and crosscuts. Accurate (square/flat baseplate from the outset) good power, nice weight/balance in the hand, and the directional sawdust exhaust port is a nice feature. Should have gotten one of these a long time ago!

Summary: Overpriced, poor quality
Comment: After researching my options, I selected this saw for several reasons. I liked the way it felt, I had used the 325 before, I have several other tools from Porter-Cable and it received top rating from Fine Homebuilding in 2004(?).
After using it to cut 10 boards, the blade clamp self destructed. The saw blade that came with it has dished and hits the guard. The sight does not track with the blade.
I did buy the saw locally and it is under warranty, but I am now on my third blade clamp in less than two weeks (partially because it took 1 week to receive the replacement). Traditional, bolt-style blade clamps are available [...], which I will surely be buying. I really don't know what else will go wrong once I get to use it.
I bought a HD77M to replace it, no problems with that.

Summary: Won't cut straight
Comment: I don't understand how it can be this way, but...I just can't get the saw to follow a straight line. I've used lots of circular saws without this problem. A friend in the trades tried it (to show me it DID cut straight, it wasn't the saw, and make fun of me) but had the same problem. It pulls to the left!

Summary: Porter-Cable 423MAG 7 1/4 inch saw, left blade
Comment: Saw was purchased, facrtory re-furbished at an excellent price, came with a soft case, blade, and a wrench. Saw is lightweight, easy to handle, and cuts very well. Adjustments to cutting andle and depth are easy to make. Porter-Cable 423MAG 15 Amp 7-1/4-Inch Circular Saw with Blade Left I am very pleased with this saw and only wish that I had been able to purchase is sooner.

Summary: Great Saw at a great price
Comment: Probably the best circular saw I have ever purchased. Would like to have had a rip guide included but can live with out it. No other complaints.
