My circular saw isn’t cutting straight not even when guide rail is used , chewed a couple of rails , anyone else experienced this ?
cheers
I have not. I just used mine this weekend for cutting shelving and it worked great. Haven’t even heard of any issues with that so not sure where to even begin
Hello, first of all my tip is to check the junctions between base and body.. and the blade …
has the saw fallen to floor recently?
all junction must be straight and with no excessive play..
for the tracks check if the guide play limiters are evenly regulated. If one is more pronounced the saw walk towards in or out.
last check if arbor spin straight may be a worn ball bearing but you would have already noticed..
good luck and let us know
