Not a huge diff between them .... I have a 30 yr old 7 1/4" B&D saw .... does the job fine.
This might be of use:
The most important thing is a clamp. Either buy a proper clamp (I bought a 1.2m long one for sheets from Axminster)
Or g-clamp on a piece wood as a guide .... there was a link a while back for a neat home made guide using some sheet plywood
If anybody has that please repost
Must be odd design somewhere if a battery tool is lighter than a mains one. Are you sure it is a like for like comparison? Most cordless might be ok, but have usually a lot less power than the equivalent mains.
And make a four (or perhaps five) foot one too, while you are at it.
All ... saw a good post some time ago ... took me a while to track it down ....... here is a great tip on how to use any circular saw for accurate sheet cutting.
That is a sawboard :-)
No, I'm sure.
It was a Skil Orca:
and a DeWalt DCS391:
The Dewalt has a smaller depth-of-cut (and a narrower kerf), but for panel work it's ideal.
