Product Information

All in all, you need to be responsibly prepared with the proper protective gear before you even think about cutting with the circular saw. Make sure you have all the needed safety gear, and you’ll be good to go! Preparing the Circular Saw Blade If you are looking for a saw that can make beveled and mitered cuts, then you really want to get your hands on a sidewinder or a worm saw. A sidewinder uses a rotation that allows it to cut in the direction it is spinning. It also has a narrow profile and orients the blade to the right side of the body, making it a great saw for detailed and precision cuts. As for a worm saw, it features a more compact design and more flexibility when making mitered and beveled cuts.

When you have finished sanding, use a shop cloth to wipe down the edges and make sure there are no rough bits that you may have missed. Once you have done this, give your masterpiece a final once over with a soft cloth. This will help to bring out the shine and make sure everything looks perfect.Before jumping into the how-to part, it’s important for you to know the tool you are about to use. So, here’s a little introduction to a straight-edge guide. Cutting a straight line through plywood with a circular saw seems easy enough, but it rarely comes out as straight as it feels while you’re making the cut. To get better results here are three easy ways to create a guide for your saw. 3 Ways to Make a Guide for a Circular Saw 1. Use a Board as a Straightedge

This tool is compatible with a range of power tools, including circular saws, routers, jig saws, and more, making it an ideal contractor's companion. When used with the Bora WTX Saw Plate (sold separately), it offers the perfect combination of accuracy and convenience.Line up the straight edge guide along the marking of the base plate and clamp it on the board according to the markings you made. Step 5 The anti-slip clamp secures the portable saw guide, making it a secure addition to any workshop. It can work with materials up to 8 feet, which is ideal for larger projects. This tool is a must-have for anyone looking to improve their woodworking skills and achieve more precise cuts.

Wide Cut: This tool helps to improve durability. It also contains a low profile for getting accurate cuts. Well guess what, folks? It’s time to get to the really serious stuff. That’s right. Turning off the saw when the cut is complete. It’s actually critical because you don’t want to end up with a wobbly results due to the saw engine still running and the wayward blade wobbling around the wood. So how do you do this? It’s actually quite simple.

To be useful, a straight edge clamp should be long enough to serve as a guide for cutting across wide boards and large pieces of plywood that are too big to run through a table saw. With this in mind, most edge clamps range between 36 and 50 inches long. While longer edge clamps allow for making crosscuts on full sheets of plywood, that added length makes them difficult to clamp to smaller pieces of lumber, which are better suited for shorter edge clamps. Some edge clamps feature 50-inch extensions that can be added to the clamp for cutting longer pieces of wood, such as a full 4×8 sheet of plywood. Clamps with extensions should be wider, ideally 3 inches or more, to prevent bending. Clamping Mechanism For using the straight-edge guide for your table saw, you have to use a clamp to attach the guide to the board just like the table saw is attached to keep making straight cuts. Using Straight Edge to Go Straight with Circular Saws The Kreg KMA3700 ACCU-Cut differs from the Rip-Cut because it cuts wide boards of any width. The Rip-Cut, on the other hand, can only cut up to 24 inches. The KMA3700 can also help you make angle cuts. When you’re cutting plywood or other sheets, making a straight cut is even more challenging because the cuts are so much longer. So, you need something that will guide the saw over 4′ to make a crosscut across the sheet, or 8′ to make a rip cut along the sheet’s length. The 50-inch Extension with connectors is another valuable component of the BORA WTX Deluxe Set. This extension allows for even greater flexibility when working with longer materials or when making cuts at awkward angles. The connectors provide a secure and stable joint between the Extension and the Clamp Edge, ensuring a straight and accurate cut every time.

If you’re feeling confident, and you’ve got everything lined up properly, you can now turn on the saw and get started making that cut you planned. The BORA 100" NGX Clamp Edge is a versatile tool that provides a straight cut guide for circular saws, routers, Jig saws, and other portable power tools. With a cutting length of 100 inches, this clamp edge is perfect for cutting large pieces of wood or other materials with precision and accuracy. Welcome to a guide on how to make the perfect cut with a circular saw. If you want to make straight cuts and curves with your circular saw and you’re a beginner and don’t know where to start then no worries, because I am here to help.Line up the blade of the circular saw along the first line that you have drawn using a pencil.
