Watching This Old House, I saw a carpenter using a battery powered circular saw.
I have battery powered drills, but my saws are tailed. I had a 6" and an 8" Porter Cable saws.
They were my dads, one of my sons have them now. The 8" saw is almost scary to use, when you pull
the switch, it will really jump. I still have a 6" circular saw, but only occasionally need it. I have it and I will keep it.
My question is do framing carpenters really use battery powered saws? I think you would still need tpoles
when building a house.
