  • In today's furious rant, I share my frustrations with the Milwaukee Fuel M18 framing saw. In my experience, when set to its maximum depth, it doesn't clear a speed square, which is a crucial tool for making precise cuts. Compared to the West Coast-style saws like the Skil Mag 77 or my DeWalt Flexvolt, which easily clear a speed square and have the blade on the left for better visibility, this is quite disappointing.
    I'll also address some of the feedback I've received, suggesting I use my other hand (even though I'm right-handed) or avoid setting the saw so deep. These suggestions, in my opinion, miss the practical reality of needing to use a speed square for deep cuts. Join me as I share my thoughts and frustrations. Let's discuss! Many of our videos are comedic & satirical & not intended to cultivate antisocial or unlawful behavior.

      They will show you a small 6¼ circular saw that is not a worm drive. At the age of 16th my father gave me a all metal body 77 Skillsaw. In 1979, I said to him but dad I was hoping for a car. He looked me smiled and said"Son that saw will buy you many cars" and it did.

    Suggestion…flip the speed square so that it s pointing toward you on the other side of your work. By the time the body of the saw reaches the stop on the speed square you should have a full cut or at least nearly a full cut. Follow through on each side to complete. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

  • @logicVSpassion
    @logicVSpassion หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    As a pro framer... The better saw depends on the application. For rough framing, a wormdrive is superior. For trim and bevel cuts, a circular saw (the Milwaukee) can be a better option because this style of saw has better precision and stability than a wormdrive. In practice, this saw is usually used with the wide side of the table toward the workpiece. The best framers I know use both, even just for cutting fascia and decking.

    Third generation carpenter here. I put the fence of the square on the opposite side of the board than you. The cut will be well established and nearly finished before the motor hits. I just raise the rear of the saw slightly to finish the cut. It also gives more of a reference edge to guide the saw starting the cut in narrower boards with the tip of the square hanging off towards you. It’s just habit and second nature now. However I rarely use that method. It’s faster for me to strike a line and cut straight than to line up a square. It’s especially easier if the wood has tension and you need to back up multiple times to relieve the cut. Fooling with a square while cutting isn’t effective or efficient enough to be my go to method. Enjoy your channel from time to time btw.

      I don’t comment on videos much. I was just trying to help. It’s not an uncommon technique that I mentioned. Maybe I wasn’t clear. I don’t stop during the cut to adjust the sole. I don’t let off the trigger. I don’t slow down. With the motor running, I keep the front, bottom of the sole referenced on wood and the left side of the sole referenced on the square. I simply lift the rear of the saw while finishing the cut. I’ve built somewhere in the ballpark of 20 million dollars worth of multi million dollar luxury lake homes and countless smaller projects. The motor on the left or right (I own both) matters more to me when cutting certain bevels. I hope that’s less stupid and hilarious. Sorry if you didn’t or don’t gather what I’m trying to say.

    Pro carpenter tip. The front table of your saw is a square. Line it up with your lumber and plunge cut. No square needed. Very fast, especially with the guard pinned back, but only for pros. Seriously.
    Also one side of your table is 1 1/2” the other side is 3 1/2” so you can rip lumber without snapping.

    As a lefty myself, I learned to use dads worm drive skil saw right handed. I started framing houses when I was 14 and the first crew I worked on the owner supplied side winders and I hated them for the fact you can't easily see the blade when using your right hand. Bought my own worm drive skill after the first week. Now when it comes to speed squares, I only used them to make the line, then I put it away and cut the line. Takes too much time to line up the square and the saw blah blah blah. Make a line and learn to cut it. We don't use squares to cut plywood. It is rough framing, not finish carpentry. After a while, you don't need a line drawn square, just a mark and you can cut a 2x4 very square by eye. Production is about efficiency, extra motions and tools is not efficient.

    Being 15 year experienced residential carpenter now a pencil pusher / keyboard warrior sitting in a office from the east coast LOL. I rarely used a speed square to maintain square cuts but relied on the putting my eyes on the saw blade itself as it is cutting either by looking over the top of the saw or through the narrow opening most brands have on the motor side of the saw. A speed square dose serve as a great straight edge if needed. Both standard skill saw and the worm drive saw have their pro's and cons pending the application, operator is left or right handed, or most importantly, personal preference.

  • @strongjambbyprospeed9499
    @strongjambbyprospeed9499 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Most of the pros used worm drive saws with the blade on the left. But they are no longer worm drive saws, it's just a configuration to mimic those saws. But I also have to say that the pro framers who have been around for awhile don't rely on speed squares to get a straight cut. They either follow a pencil line or just judge it with their pool eye after they've been framing for awhile. So just take it down a notch and go with whatever works for you. Anyway, all the home owners and weekend warriors are cool with those saws!

    I agree with you, I don’t understand how anybody could use the carpenter saw. The framing saw is so much nicer. The motor throws the energy into the force of your arm and wood or whatever you’re cutting and you can see everything so much better without having to Lean over what you’re doing.
    I suppose everyone has a preference, but me Framers saw is way better.

    I'm a finish carpenter and I've always wondered why circular saws were left handed, but a Skill Saw can be either. Like they can't flip the motor? Or make a CCW motor?
    I clamp and cut a lot with my circular saw and the wide side of the saw base can't pass the 3/4 inch straight edge board. I always have to use the skinny side of the deck plate against the straight edge and if you're only cutting an inch off it runs the risk of tipping and overcutting or wavy cutting the finished veneer panel.

    You're not wrong, here's how I cut posts with that saw. Make sure your blade is dead nuts square, and mark one side of the post (with your square) at your measurement. Make the cut by looking at the blade (wear friggin safety glasses). Rotate the post 90°, and use the end of your first cut to guide your next cut. As long as your line, blade, and first cut are all square, the rest of your cuts will start off in the exact place and direction you need. With a little practice, it's much faster than lining up your speed square for every cut. Hope this helps, I love that saw, they also have a worm drive style saw if you prefer those.

  • @inspired4more
    @inspired4more หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is pretty common with circular saws. Not just a Milwaukee thing. That there is a "left handed" saw. Worm drives are typically designed with the motor on the right, which with circular saws is usually called a "left handed saw." Worm drive saws are designed that way because for a reason, and that's part of the main reason they are so common in construction; it's easier to see the blade and material without the drive in the way. This isn't west-coast/east-coast silliness. It's just the way saws are designed, and I agree that it makes little sense. I've always used "left hand" circular saws for this reason, because the motor is on the right side where I can actually view the saw blade and material I'm cutting. Milwaukee makes both. You would need a "blade left" version of the saw, and that will match what you are used to with the worm drive. But worm drive saws are better, in my opinion, so I'd stick with that one.
    One other pro-ho tip: When using a saw like that, turn the square around so the lip is at the top, not the bottom. You'll be through the piece before it touches the lip. No need to change the depth.
