Great Saw [Posted on 2007-08-07]
This saw is great. Very light, tough, and easy to set and hold the blade depth and miter. It has the feel of a great tool, and I'm very satisfied with it. The quality of Porter Cable tools is variable. Some items aren't that great, and others are. This saw is a joy to use. Love the left blade for easier ripping.
economy & reliability [Posted on 2007-08-28]
Bought the 423 remanufactured from a factory store in Portland, OR in 2003; have had no issues with it since. Have used it to build stairs, fences, decks, and a couple of roofs. While it doesn't see constant daily use, I do use it almost all the time and have never had a problem with it.

i have always wanted to have two circular saws at the ready, one with blade right and the other with blade left. in tight areas where you cannot see over the blade guard this is a must! i am very happy with these porter cable saws. i recommend these as an essential to every job site.
Met all my requirements [Posted on 2007-12-26]
When my old Black and Decker burned out, I had two requirements for a new circular saw: 1) It had to be light. I have some disability in my right forearm, and am unable to hold things (like a magazine) at a 90 degree angle for very long. I needed my circular saw to be light enough that when ripping plywood or other flat stock, that the saw needed to be comfortable and lightweight. This saw is both. and 2) I needed to have the blade on the left side. For years I've had a hard time cutting a straight line while bending over the saw. Being right handed, I wanted a blade that I could see as it cut to make for better cuts, especially when ripping long stock. This saw works great on both accounts and is powerful and easy to use on top of that. Highly recommended saw.
A joy to use...but... [Posted on 2008-04-28]
After years of peering over the saw guide and getting pelted directly in my safety glasses with sawdust, I decided to try this saw. Seeing the cut line is worth the money spent...period. The thing to keep in mind is that if you hold this saw with your right hand, the stable material (being held by your left hand)is going to be on your left. This means that this saw will be weighted over the waste piece (right). Not ideal for perfect cuts. Saw was a big power improvement over my 5 year old Skill saw.
