Im thinking of having one from ingco ltd... How is it?

[@veronicamilenk914]

Me trying to figure out this saw. My daughter says don’t cut your hand off 😅

[@FlamingAngel2012]

Your video came up when I typed in basic instructions to circular saws. I am a 54 yr old grandmother who lives in a 30 yr old 5th wheel. I have waited and waited for help from all my loved ones with busy schedules and empty promises so I have decided to do it on my own ...I was raised on a farm and although I've never done this type of thing before I jumped in with both feet. I went to the pawn shop and bought a DeWalt worm circular saw. It's a bit heavy considering I just had rotator cuff surgery.... But guess that's reason to keep it unplugfed til I have all my materials and use it as a weight lifter to get used to the weight, but next month I PLAN on tearing out part of my floor where there are 2 holes from water damage previous to me buying the trailer. Because it was unevenly lived in. So, I am learning the basics as an old lady. But by dog it I am determined. And I plan on vlogging every bit of it once I start. Mistakes and all. For me it is a new learning experience and n self sufficient as an older woman alone on my own. In home repairs. I want other women who feel as lost as I do, to not feel so scared and lost about this type of thing. So in my eyes you are a God send right now. I did zero homework on saws...I just picked one that wasn't too heavy or too slow lol. And I know DeWalt is a good brand and this saw ..has seen some hard days, by someone who keep it Workin Alot. 😂 I also bought a drill and later a universal drill pack with new bits because the one I bought has a rusty flat head screwdriver but in it

[@thedave1602]

Thanks for getting to the point quickly instead of a 5 minute intro about you, your tools, history, etc etc. Much appreciated.

[@Gravy_Master]

How are you making out so far? I’m just getting started too. I’m sort of at the tail end of ordering everything and just getting set up - I got a random orbit sander, circular saw, jigsaw, and a router. Oh and lots of clamps 🤠

Well if you need any questions answered please reach out.

[@signsofautumn1]

I’m right there with you for the circular saw. It’s intimidating to me, even though I’ll use any other saw, especially my jig saw all the time. I guess because it’s smaller and I’ve put that poor saw through so much all, because I’m afraid of the circular saw. Good luck with any projects you may have.

[@avav6263]

I’ve been procrastinating on a project I’ve set to do months ago and realized yesterday it’s because I’m not comfortable using the circular saw that I just bought 2nd hand So I’ve been avoiding getting on the project. Knowing the parts and components after watching this video, I’m not so uncomfortable anymore:)

[@bethlehemnegussie8547]

@ava V Hi, l too am in the same boat, l bought beautiful dewalt tool sets back in the winter & yeah l'm uncomfortable to use both my power drill sets & circular saw😄. But watching this video makes it a little easy.

[@bonniemiller4106]

Looks like we’re in the same boat. I so appreciate these “how to” guys and gals who show us the best and oftentimes easy ways to fix problems that look so overwhelming - until you see how to properly go about “repairing” our seemingly huge issues in such a great and not so hard way to go about it. Thank you so much.

@@thatswhatisaid8908I’m right there with you. I hope you did it and had success. I still got up the courage yet. I’m a woman diy person. It must be, because it’s such a powerful saw that I’m afraid to use it.

Thanks for going through the absolute beginner basics like this! I never had the chance to work with or even exist close to power tools growing up. Understanding what part of the tool does what and why you'd use it over another is huge! Currently, the only thing standing between me and a raised garden bed is the ability to cut two boards in half.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@dylandonaghue6750]

I inherited a lot of tools, including a scary tablesaw that's so old the mfg can't provide me with a manual. I'm finally getting around to looking for manuals and instructions on safety and proper usage. Unfortunately I didn't inherit a circular saw, so I just purchased one (trying to cut plywood on that tablesaw is an accident waiting to happen!) After watching this video, I've watched a few more of yours. I'm elated to have found you. Your video on cutting plywood is the best explanation I've watched (and I've watched quite a few).

I got a drill master circular saw. I read the instructions. To see you show, explain, point out and break down helps further first time with one. Still little shaky about angle adjustment. I learn as I go along. Determine to get it done. Thanks for explaining and clearing up what is what.

Im so excited to have ran across this video. Ive recently started crafting with a lot of wood products and have only used a couple of the simpler saws. Ive already had several projects lately that needed cuts using power tools im not too familiar with. So ive been really wanting to learn more, all i can actually, about dif saws, their uses, safety mainly and more when i stumbled across your videos. I just want to say, thank you so much for sharing and taking the time out to make these. As the title says, "for beginners," and thats def me, it has helped me tremendously on how to use n so much more. Im much more confident and comfortable using the saws now that im learning how to properly and safely use them. I can do things myself now instead of having to get the neighbor or friends do it for me. Keep them coming and thanks again. 😁

I know that I am LATE to the party, but I’ll go ahead and throw in my two cents. I use a Makita skill saw because AVE, a KZbin channel that deconstructs tools took it apart and it’s VERY well built, and will last a lifetime! I’ve only had it about 5 years now, and it’s still awesome!

I have inherited a Black and Decker battery driven circular saw. I'm a bit pleased with myself as when I first tried to charge the battery it was on the charger for hours and didn't get charged. I nearly bought a new saw but I thought I should give it another try. That was when I noticed that one of the contacts on the battery was green. I got a little strip of sandpaper and cleaned the contact up and voila the battery charged. So now I have used it a bit. It seemed OK at first but later the saw kept stopping. I thought maybe the battery was not holding its charge well so that it was not giving the saw enough power but when I put the battery back in the charger it appeared to have plenty of charge. One suggestion online was that the blade maybe loose. So I'm here to see whether there is something that I am doing wrong or to find out how to tighten the blade.
