Harbor Freight comes to mind. No worries, they likely get
that question often enough.

the case.
Hand-held. Guess I'll look for one on sale, or good used.
Do you have any not- too- expensive brand recommendations
for casual
home user..mainly rough cuts?
TIA

From a previous post of mine in case you have an Ollie's Outlet nearby
AND thay just happen to have it also.
===============================================
Yea I have some pretty old B&D stuff including a 7.25 circular saw that
was bought in 1983, seen a lot of use and not even new brushes. Bearings
are noisy as hell and it sounds like it's gonna die next use. That next
use has been going on for 3 yrs.
Couple of weeks ago I was in Ollie's Outlet (place like Big Lots) and
they had a bunch of Skill saws to my amazement. Probably disco models.
39.95 for a 13a, 2.5hp, carbide blade, case, good feel, nice indicators
and adjusters. Kinda hard to pass up at that price with only a Night of
the Living Dead B&D on hand.

I got all excited there for a second; if it was a worm drive model I
knew what I'd be doing tomorrow.

If it was a worm drive Nate I would have bought them all and eBay'd them
or something.

Worn bearings can cause it to roar, and if it's really bad, I would
probably replace it. But if the blade is spinning at a good speed and
it's not cutting, then either the blade is dull or the wrong kind for
what you're trying to cut.
