Even a ---smurfy--- circular saw will make squared cuts as long as you set the base plate correctly to begin with. We are building arcade cabs not Mars rovers...well except for Laythe. He kind of is building a NASA project. That metal working requires an extra level of precision, skills, and tools. --- End quote --- Yeah, I’m not worried about this at all. I’m actually trying to be less anal with these cabs so I’m going to try cuts with the circular saw and some brads to assemble. Should be doable in a weekend, right? It’s just a ---smurfing--- box! |

Precisely?! :lol --- End quote --- Lol I agree with yuze all. Circular saw, T-square, sandpaper, eyeballs. All of your sins will be forgiven in the final shots. Cheap table saw to make those long cuts it easier. Watch a few safety videos before you do, so you can come back to the forum with all your limbs intact. We outta rename the forum "Build Your Own Arcade Mars Helicopter". |

Our two-storey house is made by this technology. Not Mars landing technology perhaps, but they do pretty easily manage some long straight cuts with a skill saw. |

With all this talk about the saw I can’t wait to try it! I’ve actually never used one - never really needed one but I wanted to give it a shot. How else are you guys cutting long straight lines? |
