Chop saw \ Miter saw machine from a circular saw
I saw on one of the channels a structure that quite simply expands the functionality of a hand-held circular saw. It is enough to add a couple of pieces of wood, a door hinge and a piece of spring and we get a mini cut-off saw, or miter saw.
Of course, for the best cutting result, it would be good to use a more serious hinge instead of a door hinge. It will not be superfluous to increase the base area by 1.5-2 times since with a size of 20 * 20cm, there is little stability.
Of the minuses, I can note that it is inconvenient to hold the cut material, and besides, the circular saw motor falls on the hand. Therefore, it would be good to work with a holding device.

I made one just like this but added 45 degree fences so I could make miter cuts with it.
Simple yet effective 👍
The simplicity of it. I just used the first two steps for what I needed.
I like it, only thing that def should have been considered for the end result was making the platform longer for better support while cutting.
1st step to turning your circular saw into a miter saw: get a table saw.

Too be fair, I think he built the table saw too. I wonder if he used a miter saw to build his table saw!!

Hahaha I was thinking the same.
Ugh the cable under the saw
how do you cut in 45 degrees?

I would suggest to make a 45 deg jig that will serve as guide for the wood to be cut.

Only way I can see that being an option with this type of modification is to make it a sliding miter saw. Im sure its been done, probably very simple.
