Hi , I use a diablo saw disc for woodworking and Im afraid that if I use it for metal i will spoil it , In my country are very expensive , what do you think about?? thank you
1000w should be plenty powerful. The blade however is not going to be much different and it is going to take a bigger beating than when cutting 1mm steal. Will it work? I guess so... Far from ideal. If you do decide to do it. Wear protection! The other advice would be to never let go of a circular saw. Always power thru! Good luck and post a video if you try it.
I need to cut thin flashing that's about .5 mm. I also have Makita circular saw. Should I turn the blade backwards before making my cut? I heard it's a good way to cut thin sheet metal. Thanks! good video :)
Hi, I have also read about the "Turning the made-for-cutting-wood-blade around in order to make it cut through metal". As far as I'm concerned it's a myth. Would love to do a bit of a "scientific" test. Maybe I will prepare something like that and post a video. Until that time, I can't answer your question I'm afraid.
You are absolutely right about that. The result is that the cut was not straight. I would normally cut a new piece with the clamps tight. However do keep in mind, that you can't get a lot of precision anyhow by using a circular saw. I'd recommend using a sheet metal shear. I only use the circular saw because I have no place for a shear.

would it be possible to cut 3mm aluminum sheet with a 1000w circular saw??

@1:56 unclamped guide slipped and blade wandered.
