Re: Cutting plywood!

Hi,

Of course the old time handsaw but kinda slow so most woodworkers here use the circular saw
which is faster and more accurate. There is also the track saw or worm drive saw which are
more expensive.

Well for the circular saws, you will have to make yourself a straight edge guide for easy cutting. 😉

Hi Rosy,

I am using circular saw last time I did cut three times but it's not straight i don't know why i also bought a guide for it. Maybe i don't know the correct way of using the saw.

thanks,

How is that so, you have I suppose a straight pencil marking and the straight edge guide clamped tight on the plywood/board you are cutting, maybe you have to cut the plywood slowly checking and looking from time to time at your blade cutting in the straight line.

Or maybe there is something wrong with your circular saw, maybe its not aligned. What brand of circular saw are you using if I may ask ?

Well just what balarila said, practice makes perfect. 😉

Re: Cutting plywood!

yeap it is practice make perfect.

i am using talon brand.
my jig saw also it same brand.

thanks you for the input,

Re: Cutting plywood!

I agree with rosy, be sure to check the circular saw and jigsaw for proper alignment. A good square is all needed.

Ganyan din ako straight edge na gamit ko pang rail pero di pa rin perfect straight. hehehe

Re: Cutting plywood!

Often its the driver's fault, but sometimes its the car. Check the blade for wobble also check the blade. Some manufacturers supply a cheap steel blade without carbides to lower the price.

In my experience, when my jig is not sliding smoothly, my cut using circular saw is not that straight. Better apply wax (floor wax color white 20 pesos only isang maliit na box) your jigs and your saw along the tracks that the saw glides.

Re: Cutting plywood!

ako naman kandila...better eh paraffin wax..

I used to cut plywood with a handsaw...

pampalaki pa ng masel..pampalakas pa ng puso...pampababa pa ng kolesterol...

miss ko na lagari ko...

Re: Cutting plywood!

dati manual na lagari gamit ko, mas pantay pa ang cut.
nung nasira yung lagaring pang kahoy, gumamit ako ng pang bakal. mas malinis ang tabas mas mahirap.

ngayon parehong wala na yung mga manual na lagari ko, ng sisi ako nung kasagsagan ng blackout dahil walang magawa sa mga powertools, walang ma diy.. sad..

sa jigsaw, nakagamit ako ng cheap china made, na moblema ako sa talim walang mahanap na isang butas lang.. kaya bumili ng makita, kaso 1 speed lang nakuha ko. madalas pa may pagkatabingi cut.. lol

mas okay talaga classic manual na lagare.. lol
