Using a Circular Saw for Ripping and Crosscutting

A circular saw is a great tool for both ripping and crosscutting wood. To rip, adjust the depth of the blade and make a long, straight cut lengthwise along the grain. To crosscut, adjust the blade depth and make a perpendicular cut across the grain. Both cuts can be made safely and accurately with a circular saw.

Worm Drive vs Sidewinder Circular Saw: Differences Explained

Worm drive circular saws have a motor positioned at the rear of the saw and the blade is located at the end of a long arm. Sidewinder circular saws have their motor located in the center of the saw and the blade is located on the right side. Worm drive saws are heavier, but provide more power and torque. Sidewinder saws are lighter and more compact, but provide less power and torque.
