What happens here
Once the laminated plywood guide block is complete and the adhesive has cured, its effectiveness is demonstrated. The worker places the guide block on a larger workpiece (a sheet of plywood) and positions a circular saw, specifically a DeWalt FlexVolt 60V MAX circular saw, with its base plate firmly against the edge of the guide block. Engaging the saw, they make a long, straight cut across the workpiece. This action verifies that the newly constructed guide provides a reliable straight edge for precise cuts with a circular saw. After the cut, the guide is removed, confirming its portability and functionality.
Goal: Demonstrate the functionality and accuracy of the DIY guide.
