    Circular Saw: Skilsaw vs Milwaukee

    I am looking to purchase a new circular saw. I have only used ancient Skils and Milwaukees. I have narrowed it down to the Skil SPT67WM-22 and the Milwuakee 6390-20. Thoughts on either of these. It seems the Skil only has a depth @90 of 2", while everything else is around 2.5". Has this...
