  • Circular Saw For Beginners Masterclass: bit.ly/3omII1I Circular saws can be an intimidating tool to use for those not used to using one, and for good reason, they can do a lot of damage in the blink of an eyelid. My recommendation is to just take your time, make sure that your surroundings are free of clutter and secure your pieces that you are cutting with a clamp to minimise potential injuries. With that, in today's video l just want to brush up on the basics of circular saw safety so that your experience using the circular saw is an efficient, enjoyable and safe one.
    I hope you enjoy it 👍😁🇦🇺
    Before l go on...
    Since this video was made the Circular Saw Masterclass is now LIVE: bit.ly/3omII1I

    Perfect for small projects. Not got a lot of power so if the wood starts to flex it stops the saw pretty easy. Use it for small tasks and you will be happy. Safety system Works great czcams.com/users/postUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c .lose your grip on the saw it shuts off and the sheath closes over exposed saw.

    Hey Shane, one of the best things I ever did when it came to a circular saw was buy a 165mm 18v Makita. The smaller size does about 80% of what my 235mm Hitachi saw would do, so I only need that on special occasions. But the best thing about the 18v cordless, is the brake on it. Release the trigger and the saw stops in only a few seconds, and it has the added benefit of no cord, which means no tripping hazard and no fluffing around with the cord accidentally getting caught.
    Just my 2 cents

    • @diyforknuckleheads
      @diyforknuckleheads  Před 2 lety +2

      Yeah all good reasons Nathan 👍👍 Thanks for taking the time to leave the feedback mate. Cheers 👍😁🇦🇺

      I just bought the DeWalt Atomic series 4 1/2" 20V saw. Because of where I am and the light cutting I do it's much more practical than my standard 7 1/4" circ.

    • @SoldattoHD
      @SoldattoHD Před 2 lety +1

      I believe the brake also stops it from kicking back as it stops when the pressure gets too high

    Great safety tips. One other one I didn’t see was to adjust the height of the blade to only cut the thickness of the material thus saving the blade wear.

    Great tips for everyone, I've had kickbacks now and then over the years, mostly because I was working on unlevel ground, no sawhorses or workbench. I made myself a workbench last year, so much better on my back that way😊

    Wise advice and funny as always. This is a great reference for circs. One of the clearest remaining memories from my childhood is my dad coming close to taking his arm off with a circular saw. Early 90s, im out the backyard with him and hes cutting on saw horses, it kicks back and he gets a scratch from one end of his forearm to the other. He said some words, put the saw down, sat down and chain smoked while staring at the ground/sky/ his arm!! *Cue The Wonder Years opening credits*

    • @diyforknuckleheads
      @diyforknuckleheads  Před 2 lety +1

    Your safety tips are good as gold. Especially because you don't just tell what to avoid, but you present a solution for very typical situations.
    One little bonus tip, that works wonders: Make your work bench heavy. It will stand more stable, it will not wander off when pushing with the circular saw. Even folding work stands can be weighed down with some bricks on a board.

  • @sawdustandsurvival
    @sawdustandsurvival Před 2 lety +3

    Such a great video. There's a lot I didn't know there and you may have saved me an accident. It seems that so far I've been extremely lucky. When cutting sheet material I've been using polystyrene sheet behind it and cutting it on the floor. And on normal lengths of wood I've only had to cut end pieces, so only support one side. I can now see why this has stopped things from binding on me. If I didn't have polystyrene sheets to hand for sheet material, or if I needed to cut a piece of wood in the middle then I may have done the ways that you showed me can cause binding.
    BTW I do like your celebratory jazz "SKI-BOP". I do this occasionally at home and my wife hates it 😄

    I used my circular saw (a ryobi cordless) for the first time a few months ago when I needed to cut some yellow tongue boards to size to provide some flooring in my attic so I wasn't storing my stuff on the ceiling plaster. I probably did all the things you said not to do and I'm amazed I didn't end up hurting myself. I will hopefully be using it again (I've been inspired by a lot of your DIY project videos), and I'll definitely be a lot more careful next time

    Thanks Shane, great tips. I've seen the odd tradie occasionally doing some strange yoga poses, including one bloke I saw balancing a board on his knee and trimming the end with a battery power saw. I used to think it doesn't look right but they're qualified and trained they maybe that's how they were taught to do it. After watching your video, it clearly wasn't right, he was taking a shortcut and it will come back to bite one day. One other thing, I knew about putting lengths of timber under large sheets, but I didn't know they were called gluts. Learnt a new word today. Thanks Knackers.

    Electrical eng here with electricians apprentice training so lmk if you ever have any electrical questions!
    also -- one thing that I learned on my first cut today was to run the saw a few inches past the end of the piece, if the guard is set to make a minimum depth cut. I stopped before going a couple inches past the end of the board (given my view from above) and the cut wasn't perfect as it left a tiny chip at the end which I had to flake off.

    I love my 20v Dewalt. I mainly use it for demo & rough cuts on construction lumber. It's powerful enough to get the job done, but very easy to mandarin control of at all times, even in sketchy situations. And the blade stops very quickly upon release of the trigger. I won't win any fine woodworking awards, but it's pretty much perfect for my needs.

    This video came across my feed at the perfect time as I'm finding that I've been using my circular saw more often. As a beginner, this is life saving information. e.g I did not know about the clamping situation as my dad always just did the yoga poses to hold things down so that's where I learned. Gotta go buy some clamps. What's a good size clamp to get for a beginner that would be good for most household applications?
