Do I need a workbench to use a circular saw?
You will need a few pieces of equipment to get the most out of your saw. A good work table or bench can be used to support your material. There are other ways to cut wood, but a workbench is the most straight forward method.
Which side of the line do you cut with a circular saw?
Circular saws can splinter the wood on the top side, so it’s important to make cuts with the good side facing down. It is possible to reduce splintering by making a cut line on masking tape. If you see that you have deviated from the cut line, then start over.
Can I use a jigsaw instead of a circular saw?
Although a jigsaw can be used for most of the tasks that a circular saw can perform, including straight cuts and cuts on a tilt, the jigsaw uses that really take advantage of the tool’s qualities are jobs such as kitchen fitting and joinery.
What is a circular saw good for?
