I’ve been kicking this can down the road for years, but I finally got a job that involves cutting so much melamine board there’s no way I’m doing it with a circular saw.
I watched multiple safety videos before even opening the package, and now I’m just sitting here staring at it wondering whether I should fire it up and cut off a finger or two. I’m fucking terrified of this thing.
That’s what I thought. I don’t get anywhere near the saw if I’m pulling material through it for exactly the reason you mentioned. A roller stand would definitely be a better option in my case. All it takes is to be a little careless for a one second one time. Thanks for the feedback!
