How to Cut at an Angle With a Circular Saw

Posted by Bob Bulmer on Fri 15th June 2007 at 06:00 AM, Filed in Power Tools

This is one of the more tricky manoeuvres with a circular saw - but done correctly it can produce excellent results.

The procedure is as follows:

1. Move the sole plate so that the blade is at the appropriate angle to the timber. The circular saw will have a bevel adjuster that shows various blade angles from 5 to 45 degrees.

2. You will need to reset the blade depth as the angle change will reduce the penetration of the cut.

3. It is always worth double checking the angle of the bevel adjuster and practicing the cut on scrap timber.
