Circular Saw Basics

Would you like to build things out of wood, but are a bit uncomfortable with your circular saw (also known as a skill saw)? Here’s a chance to discover how to use your saw effectively, whether cutting 2×6 rafters or ripping plywood.

We’ll learn how to adjust the saw, tricks make sure your material isn’t binding when cutting, explore the all important safety elements, and use jigs to be more accurate and efficient. You will actually walk away with a sweet jig for cutting off lumber that works perfectly for your saw.
