Re: Show off your Circular Saw and Plunge Saw

My Plunge Saw

Brand: Tauros
Nabili ko sa sulit... mga surplusan
tsaka yung vacuum galing din surplasan hehe

at dahil hindi masyadong effective yung dust collection nya... ginawan ko na lang ng paraan... takpan ang mga butas sa harap

tinakpan ko rin yung kabilang side

Review:
-Para sakin... ok naman ang lakas ng motor... medyo maingay lang(as usual sa mga surplus na circular saw)
-Yung Aluminum track nyang dalawa pinag dugtong ko na lang kasi wala yung connector nya
(see youtube for other improvement grizzly track saW ang kamukha nya)
-yung tilting maganda kasi mukhang matibay naman at kapag nag set ka ng angle hindi talaga sya gagalaw kasi harap at likod ang lock nya. (pero hindi ko pa nagamit) 🙂
-yung blade nito medyo maliit ( sino kaya ang magbebenta ng blade nito dito sa forum?) 6 1.4 inch. arbor size 20mm

Bosch GKS 190 7 1/4" circular saw with shop-built saw guide. Saw guide is just a 1/4" plywood plank with an aluminum guide rail. The aluminum rail was sourced from a shop that made aluminum doors. There's about a 2cm wide strip of plywood to the left of the rail that's used as the clamping area. The plywood base was originally wider than the circular saw base. It was ripped to its current width as you see now. The saw guide will now cut exactly at the edge of the plywood base. Critical to the operation is the sacrificial frame that the plywood to be cut rests on. It's made of palo china, and was built without any nails--wooden dowels only. This is important because the saw blade will be cutting into the wooden frame every time and we don't want the saw blade cutting into metal. To make the cut, I set the blade depth to be one tooth beneath the material to be cut. I also clamp the waste side of the material to be cut so that it doesn't fall off after the cut is done. Simple but effective. The frame and saw guide has served me well over the years.

here is my CS. GKS 85 G professional with guide rail. As per bosch this is the most powerful CS of its kind :).
I was able to rip four 3/4 plywood stack together at the same time with relative ease...
The disadvantage is it is quite heavy hahaha,..

Cool! Do you find the guide rail useful?

its useful but it is less the length of plywood which is 8 feet so you have to move the guide rail twice.
Or you can buy one more guide rail and connect it.... I'm using my shopmade CS guide similar to yours for cutting 8 feet length...
