Gang-Cut Lumber with Circular Saw

What happens here

With the lumber stacked and marked, the carpenter uses a circular saw to cut precisely along the established line. This technique, known as gang-cutting, allows for simultaneous cutting of several boards. The saw's blade depth is set to cut through the entire stack, or multiple passes are made if the stack is too thick. This method is highly efficient for producing uniform joists or other framing components, saving significant time compared to cutting each board individually. Care is taken to maintain a steady hand and guide the saw accurately along the line.

Goal: Using a powerful circular saw, carefully cut along the marked line through all stacked pieces of lumber. This 'gang-cutting' technique ensures identical lengths for multiple framing members.
