Thank you for explaining it for individual's like myself who never took a woodshop course in high-school or know all the specific jargon that defeats the purpose of an intro tutorial. You literally solved 3 simple issues I was having with this video! Thank you!
Like some others I’m coming to the world of power tools late in the day and with no history of fatherly advice in such matters. Also I’m not an artisan by personality so what I do learn I learn slowly and quite self-consciously. This video really helped. Thanks very much.
For a such a simple tool these things are very intimidating for a newbie so I kept using a hand saw for 2x4 cuts. Now I can actually use one of these and feel confident. Thanks!
I watched a bunch of these type of videos on a circular saw before but this one is by far the BEST, most informative and concise video on circular saw out there. Well done, lads!
Don't forget to NEVER use gloves when working with a circular saw! The glove can snag the blade , if by chance you somehow get your hand in the way , and pull the fingers into the blade.
Unless it's a big foam finger thing of your favorite sports team, that states they are #1. Specially if it's playoff time, they will need you wearing that at all times.
Dude. Thanks for the video. I just watched this once and been very careful for my very first use of the tool and made sure the blade edge is enough to cut the desired thickness i want in the wood. It was a clean cut(given there's a small error between).
Thank you so much. I would never have known that clamping both sides of the material could be dangerous until you said so, great tip right there. Also using a long level as a guide to ensure straightness etc.
Haven't had a circular in about 13 years. I've been rolling with the jig for a while, but decided to use some leftover Amazon money to invest in one!!!❤😂!!!
Thank you great video. Thinking about buy the skil 13 amp saw. I’m just a DIYer who would love to build my daughter a few things. It was either this or a ryobi. Nothing too fancy. Which would be the better deal? Suggestions? Thank you!
Informative video! I am on a budget and looking for my first saw. I am interested in the corded Ryobi circular saw. I noticed on the Home Depot website, that they have 13 Amp, 14 Amp, & 15 Amp versions. Other than their 1 Amp differences and pricing, should I just get the cheapest one (13 Amps)? What's the noticeable difference from 13 to 14 Amps, or 14 to15 Amps? thx
Genuine questions from a newbie… my dewalt didn’t come with a storage box or rest so is it ok to rest it at the angle shown in between cuts, as well as long term storage?
Truth, but I think this video is for the generation that didn't have people showing them these aspects of life--d.i.y. sorts that had no guidance, and not trade craftsmen.
Does it matter if the blade is to the stock side or waste side? I would think the motor over the stock side would be better if possible? I also have a left handed saw, I’m right handed, so no really different in use, right, other than a left hand crossover? The left handed saw is just easier to see the blade.
Does it matter which side of the shoe rests on the off cut? I have a righty saw but feel more comfortable making cuts from the left side. Am I compromising on result/technique or safety by doing so?
But if you’re cutting a long 2x4 in half and you don’t have the other end supported, then the wood will split off before the cut is over. This leaves a big splinter on one half and a big gash on the other. I made it work by getting somebody to hold the other end, but is there some other way to fix this?
Hello guys I am just beginning my first woodworking project. I have two 2 by 3s and want to cut both of them in half such that I am left with four 1 by 3s and an old circular saw is the only power tool that i've got. Can you guys please suggest me how should I go about it. I'd be really thankful 😊
Just got a Milwaukee set for $400 bc it had a 3-speed impact, hammer drill, and sawzall. It also came with a skil saw, and I have no idea how to use it, lol. Was gonna cash it in, but if it’s true that I can do most woodworking with it, then I think I’m gonna keep it!
Also ditto the 3:30 fail comment. A level is to tall to fit under the motor when properly cutting. Use a framing square, straight edge, or other sheet good factory edge of size/thickness similar to a drywall t square.
There's no difinetive answer for that. If you measure a board that needs to be 52" and a tight fit, you cut to the outside of the line. If you need it to fit exact you cut directly on the line. If it can have wiggle room, cut inside the line.
can you make long rip cuts with both sides supported by a sacrificial piece under it? Or does that also bog down the saw? great video with great tips, this newbie thanks you!
No fancy intro and no annoying music , Thank you. Straight to the point nice and informitive. thank you for taking the time to post this.

Thank you for the clear and pointed video. As a new woodworker, I was a little nervous about how to use my circ saw right.
I hear ya! I was raised sans a dad so don't know terribly much about proper power tool usage. These videos really helped!
Great tip on filling in the numbers with paint

Green horn problems , thank ya , yours truly , signed by Lefty
Into the blade ?.
Happened to a friend of mine. Three fingers gone. Gloved hand.
Unless it's a big foam finger thing of your favorite sports team, that states they are #1. Specially if it's playoff time, they will need you wearing that at all times.
I prefer to get my fingers sliced nice and clean . With the glove on it leaves a ruff finish
Thanks brother, just started construction with my brother n they made me a cut man, this will help a lot
Sweet, please turn this into a series!

Thank you for a great video. I'm new to power tools and woodwork so this was extremely helpful.
Thank you so much! My first time assembling and your advice is invaluable! Now gonna try my first cut!
Did you survive?
These are not for women
@@arthurmead5341 i bet laura kampf can make better cuts than you also she is a woman and heck of a maker.
Great Video I just wish there was mention of disconnecting power source when changing blades.
Yes! As well any shoe or bevel adjustments 👍🏼
Haven't had a circular in about 13 years. I've been rolling with the jig for a while, but decided to use some leftover Amazon money to invest in one!!!❤😂!!!

Well that was just perfect. thanks so much!

Perfect intro, thanks
Very clear tutorial.. thank you!
Excellent vid! Very helpful!
Yes. Circular saw is capable of many things!
Good video straight to the point and well said.
Thanks for sharing this video,was very helpful!
Quick and simple. Thanks!
I don't have a clamp or vice at the moment. Would a very heavy weight on the wood suffice?
Thanks for the lesson.
exactly what i needed to get started!
Good video 👍🏼
It does take some Skil to use that tool. 😀
Christopher Sanchez HEEEEYYYOOOO!
Christopher Sanchez Yeah Skil is garbage. No Skilled worker will use this. lol
Truth, but I think this video is for the generation that didn't have people showing them these aspects of life--d.i.y. sorts that had no guidance, and not trade craftsmen.
Skil was the first company to sell a Circular Saw ....and are part of the " Bosch Company "
I saw that one coming.
Does it matter if the blade is to the stock side or waste side? I would think the motor over the stock side would be better if possible? I also have a left handed saw, I’m right handed, so no really different in use, right, other than a left hand crossover? The left handed saw is just easier to see the blade.
Nice video. Picking up a Skil circular saw.
Thanks For sharing This video..it's a Big help For me to use proper My circular saws at home.🙂
Does it matter which side of the shoe rests on the off cut? I have a righty saw but feel more comfortable making cuts from the left side. Am I compromising on result/technique or safety by doing so?
During the cuts the work piece moves a lot! Always work on stable surfaces, it is safer and you will get better results.
Yeah, my driveway isn't very level. I was constantly using the offcuts as shims!
Make: yeah get it right jesus christ
The background music level was perfect this time. It didn't overpower the voice over
But if you’re cutting a long 2x4 in half and you don’t have the other end supported, then the wood will split off before the cut is over. This leaves a big splinter on one half and a big gash on the other. I made it work by getting somebody to hold the other end, but is there some other way to fix this?
Pretty awesome practical video
Thank you this helped me so much in school
Hello guys I am just beginning my first woodworking project. I have two 2 by 3s and want to cut both of them in half such that I am left with four 1 by 3s and an old circular saw is the only power tool that i've got. Can you guys please suggest me how should I go about it. I'd be really thankful 😊
Most saws have a square notch on the front of the shoe. do you align the inner or the outer edge of that square cutout?
Very informative, thankyou.
Excellent, great info 😃👍💯
my problem is pulling the trigger is not making the saw spin. seems to be locked tried just about everything.
Nice one budd
May I please know what model is the Skil powersaw you are using?
very positive and encouraging. thanks.
Really Nice video. Can you do a video about grinder tool next.. 4 inch and 9 inch electrical grinder
great video, thanks.
can you do like this for other power tools ?thank you
Thanks! Great tutorial
How about plastics what blades to use is it a fine one I try my new saw scared me my plastic cover box jumps.
Can you cut tiles with these tools ?
What does it mean if the wood starts smoking? I’m trying to do make a lap joint with a 2x2
Blunt blade usually.
Just got a Milwaukee set for $400 bc it had a 3-speed impact, hammer drill, and sawzall.
It also came with a skil saw, and I have no idea how to use it, lol. Was gonna cash it in, but if it’s true that I can do most woodworking with it, then I think I’m gonna keep it!
How to lock the cutting disc to be able to change it?
Cheers
Can any blade work in this saw?
Also ditto the 3:30 fail comment. A level is to tall to fit under the motor when properly cutting. Use a framing square, straight edge, or other sheet good factory edge of size/thickness similar to a drywall t square.
First thing you do is cut a small wedge and stick in between saw blade gard and top blade gard so gard is always in up position.
1:05
Nah man the blade needs protection from me. YO HOLD ME BACK BRUH HOLD ME BACK
Hi i have a question...
Will a 165mm blade fit a circular saw with 160mm blade, the bore is the same on both blade 20mm?
And no mention of which side of the line the blade falls on?
There's no difinetive answer for that. If you measure a board that needs to be 52" and a tight fit, you cut to the outside of the line. If you need it to fit exact you cut directly on the line. If it can have wiggle room, cut inside the line.
Very helpful
Very Nice Vid!!
great video , easy to understand ive subbed 👍
Hello. My skill saw boggs out half ways when cutting a 12" board . Why is that thanks .
Brilliant meachine
Great information thanks man
Awesome. Thanks 👍
can you make long rip cuts with both sides supported by a sacrificial piece under it? Or does that also bog down the saw? great video with great tips, this newbie thanks you!
Best circular saw you can buy is a Skil Worm Drive. Powerful and built to last.
i agree but they have changed a bit for the worse in the last few years......check out the vid... AvE .. made on this.
sean tap sadly yes. I saw that video too
I prefer my Makita worm drive. And I've used Skils.
Love it
More tool videos plz!!!
What about that safety switch
Thank you.
All you need to know in 4 minutes
More please.
Thanks man, i appreciate you :D
Thank you so much! I think I've been setting my blade too deep, this really helped.
