Don’t cut OSB like this! 🤦 #framing #carpentry #construction #oops
What happens here
After completing the cut, inspect the underside of the workpiece and the support structures. The video reveals a significant mistake: the circular saw blade has cut deeply into the wooden support beam that was positioned directly underneath the OSB sheet's cut line. This damage to the support could have been avoided by simply shifting the support beams away from the cutting path. This serves as a critical reminder to always double-check the placement of supports before making a cut.
Goal: Identify the cutting mistake and understand its cause.
