This is a common use for a good skilsaw with a good driver. He has good control and knows what he is doing. Dewalt shouldn't make skilsaws. no one beats the worm drive Skilsaw mag 77. i've had my saw for 6 years, and bearings sound great. i've used it tons. also, when he cuts sideways, the blade flexes rather than hurting the bearings,
Great control. Ive abused the shit out of my worm skilsaws before. They can handle it. This Dewalt has a crazy design....the body comes from the top and angles down over the blade.
You do the same thing when cutting tenons with normal table saw, the last cleanup is same thing: you move the piece on the highest point of sawtips and clean your cuts.
But geez, I wouldn't have balls to do that. You do something enough, it's easy.
People should really understand that this guy uses that saw every day. He is no Home Depot Craftsman Weekend Warrior. I have seen this technique even used on aluminum but I would have to have a lot more time on that job to pull it off.
Someone mentioned a jig to do this on the table saw, there is one, it's used to cut cove molding, search "table saw cove molding" and you will find lots of info.
Wow! never seen anyone use a circular saw like that before. Not using any eye protection either and having the saw go all over without any steady slow pace to make sure you're safe. I guess when you've been doing it this way for a long time, it might be second nature to this guy. I would never attempt this method unless I've used this saw a thousand times and know how to handle it.
Dude, not a safe way to use your circ saw. Scoring cuts, and then using a framing chisel would have been far safer and given you better, consistent surfaces and dimensions. A 1.5 or 2" framing chisel is a great tool. You can use it to plane, parr, or clear waste. Check out some timber frame joinery vids to see how to use one(and how to sharpen one, which is very important to be able to use it correctly).
one of those huge like 2 or 3in japanese paring chisels that are like a foot or two long would work well for that final fit. nice tricks though. ya should not be tried by diy'ers
The last person who commented on this video-- which I made to just show a bit of routine work, not to really make a point of anything at all-- had nothing but rotten scorn to share about it. Thanks for not doing that.

Surely the bearings aren't designed for sideways load??!!

Thats a sweet tip. I would have never taught of something like that. I bet with a jig you could do the same thing on a table saw.
