Avery, I recently bought a Skil brand circular saw (Skilsaw used to be an almost generic term like Kleenex for tissue or Coke for soft drink). It was about sixty or seventy bucks, I think. Easy to adjust angle and height of cut, has laser. I used it to cut a bunch of 1x4 and 2x various, as well as 4'x8' sheets of sheathing, while roofing. The laser doesn't add much to the cost, and is nice. It helps when doing a good quality of rough work; that is, it is accurate enough for framing, even without messing with a square during cutting (I used one for marking). I am so used to precision woodworking on pianos that it was delightfully liberating to cut "close enough for government work" (which was surprisingly close). Although I want a 12" compound miter saw, the circular saw is versatile enough to be in anyone's toolbox. The laser is hard to see in bright light (like out of doors), very bright indoors.
