How to Accurately Cut a 6x6
Sharing buttons:
because standard circular saws won't cut
all the way through large stock in a
single pass you need to cut from
multiple sides here's how to do it
accurately first mark the cut location
and use a pencil and rafter square to
extend the line around the post rotate
the stock as needed to line up the
square and transfer the line to all
sides now set the circular saw to its
maximum depth and align the blade with
the cut line then position a rafter
square against the shoe as a guide for
accuracy
keep the shoe firmly seated against the
square during the cut after the first
cut rotate the stock and use the kerf
from the first cut to align the blade
for the second cut before starting the
saw back the blade out of the kerf so it
won't catch then pull the trigger and
make the cut rotate the stock and repeat
the process on every face on large
material like the 6x6 there will be some
uncut wood remaining at the center for
this use a hand or reciprocating saw
with a long wood blade to complete the
cut
