Don’t cut OSB like this! 🤦 #framing #carpentry #construction #oops

What happens here

Before making any cuts, clearly mark the desired cut line on the sheet of Oriented Strand Board (OSB). The video shows using a Milwaukee self-retracting chalk reel to snap a straight line across the surface of the OSB. This line serves as a precise guide for the circular saw blade.

Goal: Establish a clear and straight cutting path on the material.
