Cutting Large Sheets With A Circular Saw

In today's video we are looking at a few ways to safely and accurately cut large sheets of plywood. Plus, we will look at a way to carry plywood, and two methods for supporting them. This is the first time I've used the Kreg Accucut and RipCut systems, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed!

I already have a circular saw and was about to buy a table saw. I am a once in a while diy guy. After watching this video Realized I don’t need a table saw. Thank you sir!

Josh, this was excellent! I like your presentation style: no goofiness and silliness, no trying to act like a comedian, no eye bulging and foolish facial expressions; just straightforward professionalism and getting right to the point without a long and flashy “promo” introduction. And incredibly, you used no annoying, inappropriate, and ear splitting background music that makes your voice impossible to hear over. Friend, this is the first video I saw of yours and I’m liking what I’m seeing and hearing. I subscribed.

I don't understand how this has any type of thumb down. This was a very well done tutorial video. Thanks for this!

[@fredberger3155]

Good video. I use 1/4" fir plywood base, and another 1/4" strip (1 1/2" wide) as the actual guide, glued to the plywood base. Then attach to project by using two small 3/4" nails at each side of the guide. You're nailing into the rough side of the project wood (since the best cut is made with good side down); the small holes left are insignificant. After cut, remove guide, leave nails in guide for the next time. Fast, easy, cheap - been doing it for 50 years.

I swear; my phone 📱 listens to my conversations, the other day I was talking about organizing my garage, and this lady popped up on KZbin how to organize her stuff, now I picked up two pieces of plywood at a yard sale, the wife and I were talking about how I’m going to cut it up for projects. And today you pop up how to cut plywood with out me looking it up that’s pretty cool!!! Thanks!!!

[@DawidhabdArup_N7]

I am very new to

[@davidrojas6457]

So basically I need another Kreg tool. Yep, sounds about right.

[@michelleleeginger5225]

Awesome, now I can build my work bench top with confidence!!! I bought the Kreg jig yesterday ❣️Great video, I'm so psyched ❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@gregsandy6560]

Good Demo, The problem I have is rip out. That is one veneer is "pullled away" by the saw blade. I think due to rotation of the blade. The material I use often is 1/8 thick door skin material or in some circles "avation plywood" which my have up to 6 layers of veneers. Which is a different animal all togather compared to say.... 3/4 inch plywood. I would like your input please.

[@aaronricafrente9224]

Great video. Really helped me decide that I’m better off going with a circular saw and those clamps rather than going with a big table saw

[@netmark9831]

As usual very loud and clear to the point videos without loosing a word ! Well done , and thanks for your instant response to my question about metric sizes too , well done !

[@susancansanay4362]

This is a good video. I really learn a lot. I'm a newby in wood working. I'm afraid in circular saw but with the help of your video it helps me to overcome my fear. Very detailed. And the eplanation is clear. 🙌

[@keithterrill2303]

I just watched some other videos on how to cut plywood. I really was dreading the task ahead..... until I saw this. This is brilliant. Thank-you.

[@cribraga9215]

Clear, simple, intuitive and very useful info. Super ideas for a straight cut. Thank you for the idea with insulation and how to carry...also how to make and accordion from insulation.

[@slaydesantis294]

Awesome! I have sheets of plywood that were a pain to cut with the circular saw. I really suck at cutting a straight line, so having a guide is just spectacular.

[@pietpensoelofse1758]

I surely like your presentation, there are no adds or long talk, you are straight to the point.

[@diegoocampo5811]

Wooow! I've just found your channel a few days ago, and I'm looking the videos one after the other, every time I have a minute of spare.

[@nole8923]

This is the best video I’ve seen on cutting plywood without spending hours on an over engineered elaborate set up or spending a fortune. Easy, cheap and quick. Best video so far. It’s has made my very short list of saved videos.

[@OmgMyutubeaccount]

Just beginning my exploration into carpentry and your videos are among the best! Love how you show everything you're talking about and make it so easy to understand, and see you go through the process instead of just explaining it.
