Three essential fixtures for a tabletop circular

Speaking of table circular saws, I mean both factory table circular saws and homemade ones. For example, I use a hand-held circular set on a table. You can see how it was made and download drawings here.

Conventional circular saw operations are ripping, cross-cutting and miter sawing. On factory machines, devices for such operations are usually included. Although not always complete accessories are convenient ...

And then I propose to look at homemade options for the three necessary devices for trimming, rip sawing and miter sawing.

For facing usually a sled is used, often in the form of a "trough" - plywood with guides and limit bars in front and behind.

Another version of the slide is with one stop.

Allows you to accurately trim parts at right angles and make transverse grooves. And if you tilt the saw blade, then you can face it at an angle.

More information about the device and manufacture of such a slide can be look here.

For rip sawing of course use a rip fence. A variant of such a stop, which can be quickly fixed and can be installed on either side of the saw blade. look here.

Also, for the quality of the idea for making such a stop, you can see an article about quick-release guide.

Moreover, when rip sawing you can't do without pushers. One of the options to quickly make a pusher for a circular look here.

Of course, there are other tools used when ripping, for example when you need to make bevels on legs

Concerning miter sawing, the corner stop is a good helper here.

How to make such an emphasis yourself look here. You can also download a protractor template there.

Conclusions.

The devices considered above are perhaps the necessary minimum set for a circular saw in order to effectively use the capabilities of the machine.
