Easy enough to use.

I dont get it???

He's board with building cars?

It's knot a car thing?

I saw his point?

It's fir his car?

Now thats witty

The saw table rides against the SS. Gives you a nice square cut.
I figured anybody that can read a torque wrench, probably also has a skil saw in his arsenal.
I happened to be building some shelves and discovered this.

What happens to your hand if the saw catches and jumps out of the kerf?

With that saw I would be a casualty.

You better be quick at moving your hand


And to clarify ,i can tell you what every line and number on a speed square does, i was just wondering your meaning for the pic, thats all.

Man, I sure as heck wouldn't cut a piece of wood with my hand right there!!! Good way to lose some or all of your fingers..... I don't do much with wood, but I did buy an old used radial arm saw at a garage sale for $30 so I can cut straight!!!

There, now I don't have to hold it.

Thats funny

Only thing is now the saw is resting on your cut off and will give a bad cut.Saw should be ontop of good piece and scrap piece should fall off the table along with the saw to prevent kickback or launching a projectile Also square goes on other side of saw to prevent hand loss
Soo to sum it up ...saw on biggest piece of wood,square on same piece left side or non cutting side of saw, square being held with left hand.Right hand has saw and cuts with the blade facing the small or scrap side and do not forget to cut on the right side of the line
Also unless you guessed already ,I am just givin ya a bad time.
But I am a woodchuck of 20 years,so stuff like the first picture make me cringe from all the accidents I have seen.

I hope you don't use this technology next time you are up in a tree sawing off the branches!!!!!!

42K3,

Shawnlee has is pegged. If you're left handed, get a left-handed saw and mirror image what he said. Nothing wrong with using a speed square, just have it on the back side of the saw - not on the blade side.

Myself, I have a chop saw.

No, I use my chain saw for that.
