What is the blade-side offset?

Not sure what the reviewer is commenting on. Last time I checked 1/2 in and 9/16 in were so close to the same it wouldnt matter. Regardless its still the best circ saw on the market- confirmed by many previous reviews

If by offset you mean from side of blade to side of shoe, I think it was just under 5". The other side runs around 1.5".

7 1/4" must say this is the best saw i have owned and I have three others over my years in doing construction work around my homes of which I own 4 and upkeep at least two of my five childerns homes. This is a truly great saw

I'm a homeowner DIY'r and not a professional so I'm not sure what you mean by the offset...? Let me know what to measure or look for and I'll answer back. I can only tell you the saw works great for the smaller projects and the convenience of not lugging a cord around is great. I used it several times to cut 2x4's and other 1x's. The battery lasts a long time and is easy to run straight with the notched guide. let me know about the offset question you originally asked.

Hi, blade on the PC is on the right. Only company that had one on the left was Dewalt, an option but you paid dearly for it.

There is a switch for reversing the rotation. Measures 17in. from center to end of blades. Installation directions are easy to follow.

I can't say what the exact angle was, normally Spyides are supposed to ship 30 degrees inclusive but using the marker trick with my Sharpmaker it seemed to be a bit higher than 40 degrees inclusive so I re-profiled it. So far I haven't seen any edge chipping problems, I've only had the knife for a month or so though. Hope this helps.

Yes and no...we never got ours to cut good corners so we sent it back for a refund. I think ours cutter head had its blade reference line in the wrong spot. But yes this unit does have position stops.

There's a good size circular button (I think its green) located on the housing near the blade that you push in which enables tilting the cutting angle.

I don't pay attention to which side the blade faces but it is a valid question. If you wear the knife on your right side the sheath sits with upper side of blade facing forward if worn on left the opposite is true and business side of blade is facing forward. To me it makes no difference just liked this particular style knife."It's Big" and with a very little amount of work the blade is razor sharp, it does come sharp enough for most, although my tastes are just a bit higher to satisfy; so using on of my kitchen set Henckels steel to align the blade brought out the razors edge we all like to have.

It opens to the side. It flips open when you use your index finger to pull on that gray tab that sticks out to the side where the blade is hinged.

It's not right or left. The off round shape on the right is simply so you can feel the angle the blade hits the water without looking. Don't think about it. Your brain will auto program so after a few minutes you'll just happily be paddling along with no thinking required.

By the tip of the blade. Put your thumb on one side, then put your pointer and middle fingers on the other side.

The small picture with the knife on a 45 degree angle is pretty accurate, but when you click on it and get the zoomed-in image of the horizontal knife - that one does have a taller grind than mine, definitely - just an odd photo I think.

The blades can be adjusted so they are parallel or offset by about 45 degrees ether side.

The blade is the same on both sides it is not ground like a steel blade on either side, hope this helps

It means that the moving blade and the stationary blade are flush with each other. Gives a really close cut but you have to be careful you dont cut your client.

Exact angle unknown, but it puts a good sharp edge on quick, stainlees or carbon steel. I prefer a larger stone to work out nicks or work up an edge, but this works suprisingly well for maintaining an edge. EZ for beginners to use.

Either, its perfectly balanced for either hand. Like all Hibben blades, it's worth every penny!!!!

Aaron: You can lay a 2x6 flat, or stand it on edge. Which way are you talking about? You can cut at a 45 degree angle across the board, or tilt the blade (not swivel it) by 45 degrees. How about a better description of what you want to do. Regards, Pete
