As a right handed person, you can see the blade cut to make sure it’s maintaining the line you want. Cuts 95% of the material I use. Cuts everything my table saw and miter saw doesn’t. Light weight means more control and less fatigue. Bought this on recommendation from my uncle that’s a career long framer. I should have bought it a long time ago.

This a great “small in size” and one of the few 5-1/2″ corded saws left available. Has lots of power (8 amps) and easily cuts 2x’s and plywood with a good blade. I grab this saw most when a quick cut is needed around the house using a Oshlun SBW-055018 blade, My Milwaukee is setup as a rip saw and my Skill Mag 77 is setup using a fast cutting wet wood type blade.My 5005BA weighs in at 7.2 lbs. The saw comes with a really cheap blade that is not much use. The sole plate his too thin for a saw in the price range, bends easy so don’t drop it! The handle opening is only 3-3/4″ wide X 1-3/4″ high, large hands will have a time trying to use this saw comfortably. The front grip knob is useless because it’s so small but I can easily use the saw one handed so not such a big deal breaker. Other than these complaints, it’s a great little saw, well built (except the sole) and not to heavy. Arbor is 5/8″ so saw blades must be ordered online (Amazon stocks some good ones) at least that’s what I’ve discovered.I’m not a contractor so my tools don’t get the abuse a pro can throw at them so take my thoughts on this saw with that in mind.

Nice little compact saw. Pricey, especially when you consider it does not include a case. It comes in a cardboard box. included is the complimentary cheapo blade. Also, take care as the base is thin as it appears in the pic and I suspect it could damage easily, get bent etc., with rough use. I would not recommend this one for commercial use but its compact size makes it handy for the home woodworker. Cordless would have been nice too..

The grip handle is too small.
