Cutting straight with a circular saw is a fundamental skill for any woodworker. It allows you to make precise cuts in a variety of materials, from plywood to hardwood. There are a few different techniques you can use to cut straight with a circular saw, but the most common and effective method is to use a guide.
A guide can be anything that will help you keep the saw on track, such as a straight edge, a piece of scrap wood, or even a chalk line. Once you have your guide in place, simply align the saw blade with the guide and make the cut. With a little practice, you’ll be able to cut straight lines with ease.
