45 min - Why Is It So Hard to Get Straight Cuts Using the Jigsaw and Circular Saw? - #50
When working with power tools and wood, the number one most important thing is to get a straight cut. (Of course, the next most important thing is that your cut is actually cut to the proper length!). Without a straight cut, you're spending more time, more money replacing materials you screwed up, and overall, simply getting frustrated that it's not working out well for you. That is not going to inspire you to keep going in your woodworking journey!
You might be someone with a little experience with power tools, such as a jigsaw and a circular saw, or you might be a complete newbie. I think this post will have some solutions for both of you, regardless of your level of experience.
