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 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!
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.

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
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!
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.
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!
Thank you for a great video. I'm new to power tools and woodwork so this was extremely helpful.
Excellent, clear video. Thanks! And I love that there are no ads!! 😉
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).
Sweet, please turn this into a series!
Thanks brother, just started construction with my brother n they made me a cut man, this will help a lot

can you do like this for other power tools ?thank you
Quick and simple. Thanks!
Excellent vid! Very helpful!
Excellent intro. Thanks
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
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?
very informative for beginners
Brilliant meachine
Great information thanks man
Very informative, thankyou.
Thank you so much I have totally been using this wrong and struggling because I'm scared of the kick back
Perfect intro, thanks
Thanks for the lesson.
Nice video. Picking up a Skil circular saw.
Great tutorial for Everyone 👍🙏🏽
Well that was just perfect. thanks so much!
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?
Excellent, great info 😃👍💯
great video, thanks.
Really Nice video. Can you do a video about grinder tool next.. 4 inch and 9 inch electrical grinder
well done my friend ! Made it less scary !
How to lock the cutting disc to be able to change it?
Cheers
Good video 👍🏼
Great tips and high quality presentation and instructions
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.
Thank you sir, now I know I want one!
May I please know what model is the Skil powersaw you are using?
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?
great video , easy to understand ive subbed 👍
Very helpful
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?
Really helpfull :) Thanks
Thanks man, i appreciate you :D
Very Nice Vid!!
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.
How about plastics what blades to use is it a fine one I try my new saw scared me my plastic cover box jumps.
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?
I don't have a clamp or vice at the moment. Would a very heavy weight on the wood suffice?
Im a tradesman and Thought this a very useful clip .
Nice one budd
Hello. My skill saw boggs out half ways when cutting a 12" board . Why is that thanks .
Awesome. Thanks 👍
Can you cut tiles with these tools ?
Love it
More tool videos plz!!!
Can any blade work in this saw?
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 😊
Thanks a lot
Yes. Circular saw is capable of many things!
Nice video :D
thank you
More please.
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!
What does it mean if the wood starts smoking? I’m trying to do make a lap joint with a 2x2
Blunt blade usually.
Will it saw through my jugular ?
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
Tank you
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.
I hope this question doesn't sound stupid, I'm not even sure if I'm asking it correctly;
So, I understand the more teeth in the blade, the finer the cut, albeit a 'slower' smoother cut, and the inverse with less teeth... My question is; which blade "average", like all-rounder blade tooth amount will cut in the balance of the two (between fine and rough) ?
My dad left his circular saw (amongst other tools) to me and I want to buy a blade but I don't know which one to get to practise with ...
my problem is pulling the trigger is not making the saw spin. seems to be locked tried just about everything.
Mine is so old it doesn’t have a safety switch it’s a chrome porter cable
The background music level was perfect this time. It didn't overpower the voice over
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.
Can I use a circular saw to cut a PVC window ledge
CmdrX3 Yes. Though a fine tooth blade would be ideal for that.
