Circular-Saw Cutting Bench

Build this rigid table for cutting sheet goods with a circular saw

With the right accessories, a circular saw can be used to cut large sheet goods in a woodshop. In this video, San Diego woodworker Gary Williams shows off his circular-saw cutting bench, which supports a full sheet of plywood while it’s being cut. The bench is constructed of 2x4s, and folding banquet table legs allow the cutting bench to store away flat. Williams also demonstrates his helpful tip for loading heavy sheets of plywood on to the table by yourself.
