Wood Cutting Question
hyiu:
I think what snaaake was refering to is someone said before....
if your circular saw's plate can not be adjusted... just put a piece of wood on 1 side of the saw to raise it and do the angle cut that way....
That is dangerous cos the saw is NOT designed to work that way... and you're exposing the blade while cutting....
but if your circular saw's bottom plate can be adjusted to an angle, it should give you a BETTER angle cut than using the same feature with jigsaw....
well... you'll always need to be careful when using these tools...
but Xphile's pics shows a correct way of how this should be done...

Exactly..thats what I meant..you never know when your hands slip.
The saw blade might just come off and slice your leg or somethin(okay that doesnt happend but still)..man too scary ! :o
..I never try ANYTHING unless I am pretty sure I am doin it right...thats just me(scared of getting my hands cut by saws).
Forget about using circular saws for angle cuts...Not my type :P.
The jigsaw idea seems easier(for me).
My brother owns a circular saw so I could borrow that for straight cuts only...dont even need that..Jigsaw works.. :)

oops...the second pic has the guy proping his saw up on a tri-square or something to get beyond 45 (like about 51 degrees..it's the only pic I could find showing the saw head on with the bed at 45)...don't do it propped that way..:-)
