Homemade Circular Saw Guide / DIY Track Saw

#circularsawguide #tracksaw #sawguide
Hi. In this video, I tried to demonstrate two very useful, cheap and simple "Circular Saw Guides" constructions. One of the guides I made using laminate parquet boards and aluminum lath is 120cm and the other is 240cm long. When using this guide, you don't have to attach any parts to your circular saw. You make the adjustment, place the saw on the tray and you can cut.

You can access the 3D plan drawn in exact dimensions from the link I gave below. If you have any questions, be sure to write them in the comments section and I'll try to answer them. Other videos on my channel will also interest you, don't forget to watch.

This is just about the best home made track saw I’ve seen yet.

Больше спасибо всем умельцам,
в том числе и тебе за дельные выдумки. Я по профессии ни столяр, ни плотник , но по необходимости и по влечению приходится заниматься этой работой . И мне здорово помагает такое видео . Спасибо.

Еще и еще раз сердечное СПАСИБО за отличные ролики! Я пенсионер и покупать магазинную оснастку для работы не могу - очень дорого. А благодаря ВАМ потихоньку делаю по дому и себе, и дочке с внуками много полезных вещей. Спасибо Вам, добрый, хороший человек!

Perfect project! I like the idea that the saw tray is not fixed to the saw base so that you can put it in and out in an instant, when needed. Im going to make exactly same one for my self. Thank you for sharing!!!

Brilliant, cheap solution to getting straight cuts with a circular saw. Laminate flooring is a very flat and stable material to use. Thanks for sharing.

[Mirpurmad]

this design is complicated but much better than any design for a circular guide to cut vertically.. I will give this a go

Yapımı çok basit ama çok kullanışlı ve vazgeçilmez bir cihaz. İyi iş. Sen gerçek bir ustasın. Rusya'dan selamlar.

I just made one for my circular saw. It has made the circular saw a more effective tool. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful design. It was great not to modify the saw to have this guide.

every thing you create is simple and very efficient. And it is why it is so efficient and so good,
you are one of the best DYI ! And I mean it!!!! I like your YouTube channel!

[davidbrotherson]

This is a great design- definitely one of the best I've seen. Not complicated, and well worth taking the time to make. Great video.

Those "cut in half" holes are a genius solution. Bravo, very inspiring to make one my own because I have a circular saw without a guidetrack 🙋

Молодец! Спасибо за идею "каретки", удобно, что к пиле не надо направляющие прикручивать, потом откручивать.

Thank you very much for these videos on rip cut and cross cut for circular saw. I was thinking of buying a circular saw to make boxes and other things. But I was scared of how hard it would be to do straight cuts at 90 degrees. You solved a big problem for me. I will make a video with your plans and link you in it, in 1~2 months. If I have any questions, I will post them here. I'll make something similar for my router as well for a planing sled to make the top surface flat.

Спасибо большое!
Очень просто и надёжно. Я хочу распилить мдф щиты для того чтобы собрать кухню. Благодаря Вашему видео у меня это получится проще и точнее.
Спасибо!!!

I was thinking of another slightly more complex design, but yours' simplicity wins all the prizes. Congratulations, excellent work.
Thanks for sharing, greetings from Argentina.

[DomDemolition]

This is exactly what I am looking for,
gonna build one for myself these days...
Thank you very much!
Çok teşekkür ederim

[nagendravc]

So far, the best guide I've seen

[jaydee]

Great design, good job! One suggestion...instead of sandpaper, try using the foam rubber mat that you get for the bottom of toolbox drawers, it tends to grip a lot better and doesn't leave sandpaper marks on your wood finish :)

Unless you use the tracks for constructional lumber where looks aren't that important, skip the ø25 notches. Every time you reach a notch, you will get tear-out on the upper side.
The edge itself acts as both as an anti-splinter guard and a reference, just put the edge on the line.
Make sure your blade is square to the sole *before* plunge-cutting the runner and trimming the rail edge. ;)
And make sure your square is actually square when making the runner, as the saw blade needs to be 100% parallel to the guide rail to avoid pinching the blade.
I bought one of those small 85mm Worx saws some years back, and ran it against a guide edge. The blade was 't even fully int the workpiece when the blade started to pinch, and the blade warped. Turnex out that the sole was twisted a bit compared to the blade, so the blade entered at a slight angle. There were no way of adjusting it other than brute force, so I stopped using it and bought a 12V Bosch instead. The bosch doesn't cut as deep, but I have a proper circular saw for that (Bosch GKS 18V-Li including OEM tracks).

Большое спасибо👍Отличная идея с соединением ламината для увеличения длины😏
