In today's video I show you how my Circular Saw has revolutionised the way I do DIY. See how to effortlessly cut full length sheets of timber, as well as cross cuts, angled and bevelled cuts with this brilliant little tool!

Before I got my Ryobi R18CS cutting timber was a massive chore. If I wanted full length (2.4m) cuts I'd have to get these done at the timber merchant/ DIY store, and to make smaller cuts I was having to hand saw each sheet and then tidy up the cuts with my electric plane.
Now, with my Circular Saw I can cut down the full length sheets of MDF and ply, and I can accurately cut smaller pieces of timber to any size.

Hi Charlie, this might put a smile a smile on your face. Bought Black and Decker Circular saw in the late eighties, it died 2 years back so looked around for a replacement and bought a Ryobi RWS1250, have not used until yesterday in the wind! So set it up and start to cut and a few inches in it stops, motor working and no cutting. The old B&D was just fire it up and go, no need to adjust anything! So ended up finishing by hand. Quick hunt on RU-vid and I found your video and you answered all of my issues. Like you I had the depth adjusted too deeply - thank you Charlie for saving the day and my arm muscles!!

Thank you for a great vid! I bought my circular saw in the summer and it has been a gem ever since. Mostly used it for splitting timber but now doing sheet work. Great tips about the work table, which is a pain with big heavy sheets. Now I understood how I can cut way better! Also didn't know that the depth is so important.

Good day mate. A friend of mine gave me a Ryobi saw and a 4.0 Ah battery. He said it was useless it wouldn't even cut plywood. So I took it home and tried it. He had the blade in backwards. He said I could have it. So now I have a really handy tool for the right price. If anyone one else has a Ryobi tool that's useless I'll have it.

@SuperDieseldriver 5 лет назад

Got one of these, I'm a joiner, what a great saw. Got to last row of laminate flooring near wall & sods law 3 X 1" strips to finish it off😣 this baby was a god send with the guide, made it a breeze to do thanks Charlie love the vids👍👍👍

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

Cheers mate - and always good to get a positive endorsement from a joiner. Out of interest do you see any need for a plunge saw when you've got one of these. I'm planning a future video outlining the difference between the two. Obvs plunge saws run on tracks which is an advantage but Evolution do a circular saw that runs on a track. Possibly the best of both worlds. .🤔

@SuperDieseldriver 5 лет назад

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

Thanks buddy! Yes I've got something similar - a long straight bottom section (hanger) from an aluminium electric roller blind box. It works as a saw guide and as with yours, has also doubled up as a general straight edge.

@CharlieDIYte 4 года назад

If anyone is wavering at the moment as to whether to buy one of these, I've just noticed they're priced to clear at B&Q for £105 including carry case, charger and a 4Ah battery! Almost tempted to buy another myself! bit.ly/341aynM

I use the exact same circular saw :) When I first bought my Ryobi tools, I got a smaller model circular saw, but it was too small for cutting 2 inch lumber which I do all the time, so it was rather useless. I then bought the model you have and It has done a ton of work for me :) edit: The other Ryobi tools I have found myself using a lot is the impact driver and the multi-tool. I don't know what I would do without them now..

Every time I go to the Hardware, I take a look out the back. quite often they have good pallets and sometimes big sheet goods with minor blemishes that they cannot sell. If they fit in the tray all good but if too big I cut to fit. At home I have made a custom track to use as a Track saw. ;D

@shifty277 6 лет назад

Fantastic pieces of kit these are so versatile. Some small tips if someone is going to go out and buy one... Look for soft start and an electronic brake. These make a huge difference for me personally as I have a Makita 18v Brushless saw with these and also a 10 year old 240v version without these features and the older version feels a hell more dangerous or daunting if you like for a beginner.... Great pieces of kit with a straight edge clamped to sheet materials of a 12" rafting square! Great video Charlie... Would have gone for the slightly more Makita DHS680Z and a 5 amp battery at £200 all in from Amazon but you are invested in the Ryobi platform I presume. Thanks, thumbs up.

I cut them on the floor and put them on a thick layer of ridged foam insulation. This way I’m not cutting into the ground ruining my blade

@SamValiant 6 лет назад

For full sheets, I stick them on the floor on top of a sheet of HD foamboard, set your blade to protrude just a few mm below your workpiece. No point wasting time and effort trying to lift full sheets. Also better cuts as the whole piece is supported so no flex and you don't have to worry about the off cuts dropping on the floor.

@CharlieDIYte 6 лет назад

Great tip Sam - thanks for sharing!

@Charlie DIYte Hi Charlie it's an R18CSP; yours looks like and upgraded version. I can't find yours so maybe that's been upgraded as well 🙄 Ryobi themselves do 3/4 different circular saws so it's difficult to decide. Maybe I'll gift it to someone and get a newer model😂

Excellent video, thank you. Many great ideas. One suggestion, when setting up your saw, whether adjusting the angle, the height or whatever, keep your battery out and on the table. When in the machine you are plugged in and handling the blade and in danger. The battery snaps in easily in a second, so save it for last. I appreciate your excellent video.

@PetiteBluebirdgirl 6 лет назад

Hi Charlie, as always great video and nice to see you using your circular saw. Always daunting when 1st using, it soon becomes your favourite tool when used properly. I too thought the same about the black measuring guide initially; thought it was just rubbish; but hey ho, I was too quick to blame my tools and found the guide to be very useful. I have been using a rafters square for a very long time; actually I do not know many carpenters/joiners who do not. Keep up the videos; it is great to be able to watch a DIY video which provides metric dimensions.

@davidmiller9674 2 года назад

@mikes6844 6 лет назад

Super vid Charlie, if you can pick up a sheet of Kingspan/Celotex insulation board it makes a perfect flat surface to saw on (works on the floor as well). It does not matter if you accidentally cut into it. Sometimes builders leave good pieces in skips. It’s very light to move around and store. Also, only an observation, just be careful of kick back when moving your rafter guide from one side to the other. Even battery powered saws can have a nasty sting in its tail. I have a large Makita track saw and I’ve learnt the hard way, limbs and fingers still in place. Look forward to the next in the series. Regards. Mike

Thanks Mike. The celotex is a great idea, and I've got plenty of it knocking about in the garage. I'm going to install the parf guide system on the work table soon, so I'll have to use 6mm MDF or ply with that.

Great video, I've just bought a circular saw, under stairs project to do! Lets get going!

Great work Howard, you'll love it. Mine's been a game changer. You just need to make yourself a saw guide now for the longer cuts.

@@CharlieDIYte Hi Charlie, I don’t have the need to use a circular saw that often in my everyday life but your video and the way you do DIY has helped me, and I have made great progress on an understairs cupboard project! Thanks for the clear explanation on how to do things.

Thanks. There's an update here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mvcPuUz_m74.html although for ripping down full sheets of MDF you really need a plunge saw with its better track. Still love my circular saw though.

I am a very novice woodworker aka CRAP! I never used my circular saw because it always wandered. Thank you so much for the blade height advice and I sure will try it. You have another new subscriber!

@CharlieDIYte 5 лет назад

Hi Dan - I really appreciate that, thanks! Yes, definitely give that a go. I was ready to throw my circular saw away until a chippy mate pointed out the blade height thing. Now I couldn't manage without it! Finally, you're not CRAP, you just need a little practice!

Great to hear it. I did an update video here, if you've got a few moments ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mvcPuUz_m74.html

Great Video, really enjoy the way you teach and advise, it's straight forward and from the ground up, ideal. So many others skip parts leaving you guessing, questioning. I'm quite new to the game but will be using your Amazon link when I buy tools. Many thanks

I came up with exactly same kind of guide few years ago. Then I got tired of using (it was clumsy and needed clamps also) and I bought a better quality plunge saw. The guide rail you made can be adapted for cross cuts also. Cut a ~30cm piece and screw piece of plywood vertically to the end. You push that piece against the wood you are cross cutting and get 90° cut. It doesn't slip as easily as speed square and you don't need to mark that ~3cm distance between blade and end of saw table.
