Hi all. I've been getting a little frustrated with attempts at cutting with a circular saw. Ripping ply boards has been fine. But I've been trying to cut 8x1's and my edges have just not been straight or square which is a pain when doing something simple like shelving units. I'm getting a better edge using a hand saw. I've been using a straight fence with the circular saw too. Am I expecting too much from a circular saw? Or am I just inexperienced? Yes a table saw would be ideal but I don't have one so I have to use was I got.
