Suggestion…flip the speed square so that it s pointing toward you on the other side of your work. By the time the body of the saw reaches the stop on the speed square you should have a full cut or at least nearly a full cut. Follow through on each side to complete. Give it a try and let me know what you think.

@mastershepherd3777

Ай бұрын

That's how I do it.

As a pro framer... The better saw depends on the application. For rough framing, a wormdrive is superior. For trim and bevel cuts, a circular saw (the Milwaukee) can be a better option because this style of saw has better precision and stability than a wormdrive. In practice, this saw is usually used with the wide side of the table toward the workpiece. The best framers I know use both, even just for cutting fascia and decking.

I'm a 57 year old East Coast carpenter. I can't believe the point hasn't been made about bevel cutting. Most people prefer a right bevel saw for long point measurements. There's got to be a reason why most saws on the market are right bevel and why they changed from the original old SKIL design, right ? ( even SKIL makes them ) My only irk with them is, being right handed, the narrow part of the table is on the material when trimming doors and counter tops.

I’m a left handed west coast guy. Worm drive saws used with my left hand my entire career. I just got used to it.Semi retired now at 76. Also I miss work. Blessings.

Third generation carpenter here. I put the fence of the square on the opposite side of the board than you. The cut will be well established and nearly finished before the motor hits. I just raise the rear of the saw slightly to finish the cut. It also gives more of a reference edge to guide the saw starting the cut in narrower boards with the tip of the square hanging off towards you. It’s just habit and second nature now. However I rarely use that method. It’s faster for me to strike a line and cut straight than to line up a square. It’s especially easier if the wood has tension and you need to back up multiple times to relieve the cut. Fooling with a square while cutting isn’t effective or efficient enough to be my go to method. Enjoy your channel from time to time btw.

Pro carpenter tip. The front table of your saw is a square. Line it up with your lumber and plunge cut. No square needed. Very fast, especially with the guard pinned back, but only for pros. Seriously. Also one side of your table is 1 1/2” the other side is 3 1/2” so you can rip lumber without snapping.

Porter Cable used to make a smaller saw called the "saw boss" it has a left side blade configuration, it is my favorite saw, all saws should be made like this, and I used a speed square often for cuts, you are 100% correct

I’m pretty sure Milwaukee makes a rear handle left cut saw. You bought the wrong one.

Today's tech makes it very easy to make a "right handed AND a left handed" saw. Given a choice almost everyone will pick a saw where they can see the blade while cutting. The speed square issue is also a silly design flaw.

Most of the pros used worm drive saws with the blade on the left. But they are no longer worm drive saws, it's just a configuration to mimic those saws. But I also have to say that the pro framers who have been around for awhile don't rely on speed squares to get a straight cut. They either follow a pencil line or just judge it with their pool eye after they've been framing for awhile. So just take it down a notch and go with whatever works for you. Anyway, all the home owners and weekend warriors are cool with those saws!

Cody, I use a speed square with an "east coast" saw. I put the square against the top edge of the board and the saw makes the cut before the motor hits it. I pull on the square and push on the saw. It works great. At this point I'd rather cut with my makita circular saw and a speed square than a chop saw. Especially cutting framing lumber and 1x boards.

As a right handed framer/carpenter I absolutely agree and find clearance an issue. A worm drive saw is far superior in many ways. The only thing I think you’re missing is that Milwaukee (fuel) makes that exact sidewinder saw for both right and left hand. You can buy it with the blade on either side.

My father has been a carpenter all of his life and uses what we call the Carpenter saw, which is the Milwaukee version in the video. But I grew up using a framing saw, which is the yellow saw in the video. I agree with you, I don’t understand how anybody could use the carpenter saw. The framing saw is so much nicer. The motor throws the energy into the force of your arm and wood or whatever you’re cutting and you can see everything so much better without having to Lean over what you’re doing. I suppose everyone has a preference, but me Framers saw is way better.

Milwaukee makes a correct version now with the blade on the left it’s a fuel version and it works great! Thanks for the videos.

It’s a Left Hand Saw. The worm Drive saw you have is a Right Hand Saw. It’s that simple. As far as the speed square not clearing, well that is an issue for the Milwaukee.

As a lefty myself, I learned to use dads worm drive skil saw right handed. I started framing houses when I was 14 and the first crew I worked on the owner supplied side winders and I hated them for the fact you can't easily see the blade when using your right hand. Bought my own worm drive skill after the first week. Now when it comes to speed squares, I only used them to make the line, then I put it away and cut the line. Takes too much time to line up the square and the saw blah blah blah. Make a line and learn to cut it. We don't use squares to cut plywood. It is rough framing, not finish carpentry. After a while, you don't need a line drawn square, just a mark and you can cut a 2x4 very square by eye. Production is about efficiency, extra motions and tools is not efficient. Study Larry Haun.....

You bought a left handed saw for leftys, should have bought a right handed saw if you cut with your right hand. The square wouldnt have a problem if it was on the side of the blade.

I rarely used a speed square to maintain square cuts but relied on the putting my eyes on the saw blade itself as it is cutting either by looking over the top of the saw or through the narrow opening most brands have on the motor side of the saw. A speed square dose serve as a great straight edge if needed. Both standard skill saw and the worm drive saw have their pro's and cons pending the application, operator is left or right handed, or most importantly, personal preference.

You bought what ive heard people call a "sidewinder".. (blade on the "wrong" side) Circular saw, not worm drive. Though they so have them in "right" and "left" handed models. You can hold the square the other way.. that is to say, with the fat part toward the front of the board. Another option is to be a big boy and ditch the square.

You are correct. This saw is designed for light home use.

Its for guys who have already chopped of their right hand. They can run the the speed square on the end of their stump. A prosthetic speed square attachment.

This is pretty common with circular saws. Not just a Milwaukee thing. That there is a "left handed" saw. Worm drives are typically designed with the motor on the right, which with circular saws is usually called a "left handed saw." Worm drive saws are designed that way because for a reason, and that's part of the main reason they are so common in construction; it's easier to see the blade and material without the drive in the way. This isn't west-coast/east-coast silliness. It's just the way saws are designed, and I agree that it makes little sense. I've always used "left hand" circular saws for this reason, because the motor is on the right side where I can actually view the saw blade and material I'm cutting. Milwaukee makes both. You would need a "blade left" version of the saw, and that will match what you are used to with the worm drive. But worm drive saws are better, in my opinion, so I'd stick with that one. One other pro-ho tip: When using a saw like that, turn the square around so the lip is at the top, not the bottom. You'll be through the piece before it touches the lip. No need to change the depth.

When i was a Kid working for my uncle he said that the right side saws were for doing plywood work, so that you didn't get 8 feet of sawdust blown toward yourself. And that the left side saws were for cutting lumber with speed squares.

As for me and my household, we are VERY greatful for the fact of EDUCATION on many levels, thanks to you ( no father growing for myself ) I made its this far ..around 2010, I stumbled across an interesting man with the true value of life as GOD in my opinion wanted us to live . so many years later, you are offering a FREE PROPER education to all of us, who love and enjoy what a man should value on our beautiful planet we call home .. I strive thanks to you to be a gentlemen and live a life full of learning plus knowing good tools and how to use them ..

The benefit from having the blade on the right side is that the bottom plate has more material to rest on when cutting (rather than hanging off the edge like with your DeWalt)

the thin blue line crosses the line every day and we still put up with it because "back the blue"

100% right!

I use the same saw at work every day and I completely agree, it's my only problem with the saw. Milwaukee does make a M18 fuel worm drive but I have no experience with one but I'd assume it corrects this problem.

Being from the UK we've never really had the worm drive style, which is probably reason I've always put my speed square at the back of the cut with it facing towards me. But, if a tool doesn't work for you, it doesn't work for you. I don't understand why everybody needs to try and convince you it should. It doesn't, there's a tool that does work for you, so use that one get your jobs done and onto the next job

I have worked in the trades all my life, my Grandfather, Father , Uncle and Brother Where contractors. Growing up and until recently all circular saws where like the Milwaukee having the Blade on the right side. We never used speed squares to make straight cuts we just made straight cuts. This is not to say your wrong but its just all we knew.

I'm a finish carpenter and I've always wondered why circular saws were left handed, but a Skill Saw can be either. Like they can't flip the motor? Or make a CCW motor? I clamp and cut a lot with my circular saw and the wide side of the saw base can't pass the 3/4 inch straight edge board. I always have to use the skinny side of the deck plate against the straight edge and if you're only cutting an inch off it runs the risk of tipping and overcutting or wavy cutting the finished veneer panel. If Ryobi makes one the others will follow.

I've been a carpenter since before electric tools were a thing, I see what you're saying, it's just that I've never been in America, I'm sorry but American KZread is the only place I've ever seen people put a square against the side of their saw. I draw a line and cut at the line looking down over the front of the blade, I've never seen your type of saw, you seem to have your own way of doing things in America, if it works for you it works for you 👍, who am I to argue, either saw beats cutting everything with handsaws. I use whatever tools I have at hand, it's the man behind the tool that decides the quality of the work.

Yeah Production time is money. This applies to software engineering also. We have a saying: (roughly translated to eng.) speed of writing code is more important than speed of the software (in development phase) Engineers trap themselves in overcomplication of processes, tools layers. 99% of the end user/customers don't care what's under the hood, how elegantly it was worked on.

This Westcoast Man is Ambidextrous. Left, right, up, down, forward, back, inside, outside, 5 by 5 we do it all.

You said it all at 2:52. If you’re buying a “professional-grade” tool, you should not have to compromise.

So this entire rant is based off of personal preference. I'm left handed, framed professionally for 3 years and used saws left and right handed. Also I never needed my speed square for cutting 4x4. I used my square to mark and figure pitch, shouldn't need a guide for framing. But either way welcome to life as a left handed person, adapt and overcome when the world isn't catering to you. Remember as well, the tool doesn't make the carpenter.

A good worker never blames his tools!!! I’ll give you $20
