    I found this circular from japan recycle shop only 12$. The seller told me that it doesn't work anymore, it needs to be fixed. I think it has problem with carbon brushes. I disassembled it, cleaned every single parts, checked the power cord, checked switch and replaced new makita blade 15$. I assembled this circular saw back, finally I got a good quality circular saw only 27$. You can watch this video to see how I turn this circular saw form old to new one.
    I hope you find something useful & enjoy from this video!
    I am happy to receive your feedbacks, advices, suggestions to improve myself.
    !!! I apologize for the mistake if I have made in this restoration !!!

    When you laid out all the parts I thought "Ah, so he's going simple this time! After the reciprocating saw this is child's work for this guy." You have set yourself a phenomenally high standard, but you look good for maintaining it. Another excellent video.

    I watched this vid to get an idea how a circular saw was put together. I recently inherited an old Ryobi (made in USA so its gotta be at least about 30 yrs old) and when I turned it on it sounded like the bearings needed replacing. Thanks for sharing. Time to go replace some circular saw bearings...

It is a smashing one off guide for building any shed in no time with no experience minus the normal expense. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker at last got excellent success with it.

    Great work... What did you use on the plastic to clean it up like that? I saw you use some sort of powder first, then sandpaper... What grit did you go up to before you sealed it (I assume it was a clear coat)? When finished, it looked better than factory... great job of it all. One tip, I noticed that the blade guard had some pitting... One product that would have eliminated that issue is one called Nitro Stan, or 3M makes one called 3M Bondo 801...
