Mistake #3 - you had the saw set to full depth. That only creates more resistance. That is one of the major reasons the blade got stuck at the end. You blade depth should be only deep enough so that the tooth gullet barely protrudes from the other side.
PERFECT!!! I let the wife talk me into doing new countertops myself. The cutting of said countertops looked like a daunting task until I watched the video. Your method is simple in execution, and with you leaving in the little "gotchas" or mistakes you made lets me avoid the same problems. Double thumbs up for a great video! Thanks so much!
Thank you for this video. I appreciate you leaving your mistakes in the video and showing us the results. And correcting them. This helps us average Joe's learn. Thank you.
I echo the sentiments of my fellow commenters. Thank you for leaving in the mistakes. Every DIY project that I attempt has some kind of mistake. Drives me batty. MON you are the best!
Awesome! very well done and now I can go cut the countertop for my wife! In other words, you have not only helped me become a better woodworker. but you have helped me be a better husband too! Thanks!!!
I agree, thank you for leaving the mistakes in the video and not editing them out, it let's me know that I'm not the only one having these issues. Much appreciated 👍
This is just what I needed! I had no idea how I was going to cut the back part. Now I have confidence to handle this. Thank you for sharing! UPDATE: Because of your video I was successful cutting my countertop and avoided mistakes. I used a 60 tooth blade. Thank you for your helpful video!
great video, I never cut a countertop and was thinking of something such as this but I don't think I would have thought of the block of wood for a guide on the backsplash.. thanks so much for this very good video 🤙
This is exactly what I was looking for. I have a laminate countertop that doesn't fit flush against the wall b/c the corner is not square. I need the end at a slight angle, but was trying to figure out how to make the cut with a circular saw. Thanks for sharing!
I know nothing about this so I didn't understand what the mistakes were. I think I got enough to cut my counter (hopefully). Thanks for posting this video. In my world, no one will help. I need things like this done, and all I have to go on is the RUclips videos. I will say one thing though, I much prefer the videos where there is a human talking. I'm doing this because...this goes like this...this was wrong because...see right here--it should have been different...or don't do it this way because, etc... It helps me to understand what people are doing if they explain to me what i'm watching.
I’ve found that using a regular blade on the saw works better than the fine tooth. As long as you tape the cut line you shouldn’t get any chipping or tare outs, and it cuts so much easier!
I have a question i'm having trouble getting answered. I have an L shaped counter so I need to cut for a corner. Now i'm pretty sure i should do a 45 degree angle cut on both pieces and meet in the corner right? The IKEA instructions say to only do straight cuts. Can I do a 45 degree angle cut without messing up the counter?
nice work and nicely done video. I have 2 questions as I have to do the same project in a couple of weeks. 1) Looks like a corded Circular Saw. Is it 13, 14 or 15 Amps? I will need to buy one for this project and want to make sure I get one with enough power. I am sure my 18 volt cordless won't be able to to the Job. 2) What blade did you use? 24, 40 or 60 teeth?
Mapi_Channel I have done this cut with a Ryobi 18v on other time works fine. Just have a fully charged battery. For the video I had the blade came with the saw. I believe it is 24t . I strongly suggest getting 60T for much better results.
How much space do leave on the side.say your cutting a piece to fit on top a 24 in cabinet. H0w much space do you want to hang over on each side.my fridge is on one side and stove on the other i got a lot pf play room to do it right
@@masterofnone So my father-in-law cutting to the exact width of the cabinets was not correct? Will I have difficulty installing the end cap laminate pieces? Will be my first time. not looking forward to built-in troubles! UGH!
Great idea leaving the mistakes in… But you should mention that they are still there and not corrected… My impression was that you were correcting them as you were pointing them out… But otherwise fantastic!
I suppose the name of the channel served as a warning which I foolishly ignored. When I go to RUclips looking for how to do something, I want a video from someone who has experience in the thing, not another person who is basically figuring it out like I am.
I know the sound was on b/c I could hear the saw, but there was no explanation that I could hear. I didn't understand what the first mistake was, though the text explained the second. This would have been vastly more useful if there had been an audio explanation.

Right on dude. Leaving the mistakes in so we can see why it's not right is very helpful.
therealdiehl but I still say, do another video without mistakes too

Thanks for being humble enough to show the mistakes so the we can learn from them :)
No talking and just showing, my kind of demonstration video. Well done and thank you!
Thank you for this video. I appreciate you leaving your mistakes in the video and showing us the results. And correcting them. This helps us average Joe's learn. Thank you.
Thank you. The other day cutting a counter top again, I came back to watch my own video to remember what not to do. True story .
By leaving your mistakes and showing a good final product you have not only given me the confidence to do it myself but I'm also subscribing! Thanks

Thanks for this helpful video. I just bought a laminate countertop which I'm going to have to cut. It'll be my first time attempting it.
Good luck!
how'd it turn out? im doing mine soon. any additional suggestions?
sometimes a master of none is better then a master of one.
Really appreciate that you point out your mistakes regardless how minor they may seem. Nicely done with good info.
great video, I never cut a countertop and was thinking of something such as this but I don't think I would have thought of the block of wood for a guide on the backsplash.. thanks so much for this very good video 🤙
Thank you so much for doing this video. I am a 1st time counter cutter now!!! All because you made it possible ☆☆☆ I wish this would let me post pics
Good video, love seeing the obstacles and how to overcome them.
Thanks for keeping it real helped me alot
Excellent just too good. I had been using the guide bracket to cut large photos with but never panels. Thanks.
Great video. All business no yapping.

Thanks for the video. It gives me hope that I can do this!
Thanks! It shows that even if we make a couple of mistakes ( because we are humans) it can turn out perfectly. Nice demo!
Perfect how to video. Thank you. Just took a lot of my stress away on remodeling my kitchen.
Very helpful! Thanks for showing the mistakes so I can watch out for them....
Great video! Short and to the point. Thank you.
This is exactly what I needed, thank you!
Your video gave me some valuable insite to what I had already planned.
Learned a few cost saving ideas as well as time.

I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who makes mistakes.
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful.
Thank you for including the possible mistakes.
Very nice 👍🏼

Useful tips! Thanks for making this...
Awesome display. Extremely helpful. Thank you
Great Video! Helpful to include mistakes! FR

Well done. Also liked the “mistake” teaching.
Great work thank you . Hope my cut comes out as nice as yours
Awesome video, I needed this, and super thanks for leaving in the mistakes. That was most helpful :D
Very helpful and as others said, thanks for leaving in the lessons learned!
Excellent video
Thanks! I'm headed to the basement to try it for myself!
Reinforced what I was thinking! Still leaning towards a fine tooth blade though.
Excellent video!
Good video
2:07, ha-ha good stuff, great video also thank you for making this
I forgot I put that there. They did not call yet.
You are a master of diy videos. Perfect.
Thank you
Nicely done!
Thank you for the knowledge through demonstration!
Looks like great tips!!
Tebrikler. Sen de bir RUclipsr oldun yani...
Evet Ahmet bey. Yaptıklarımı paylaşıyorum.
Nice, thank you for the tips!
Thanx for showing us those common mistakes!
Hi. Is there any special blades we need to use or can use fine cutting blades discs etc..plz. tnx
No. I used the blade that came with the saw
Honestly, that countertop looks to be exactly the same as the ones I bought at Menards. Basalt Slate was the name.
That's it
I have a question i'm having trouble getting answered. I have an L shaped counter so I need to cut for a corner. Now i'm pretty sure i should do a 45 degree angle cut on both pieces and meet in the corner right? The IKEA instructions say to only do straight cuts. Can I do a 45 degree angle cut without messing up the counter?
yes you can. it is harder to get this angle cut perfect. But it is ok to do . It will help if you have a track saw
nice work and nicely done video. I have 2 questions as I have to do the same project in a couple of weeks.
1) Looks like a corded Circular Saw. Is it 13, 14 or 15 Amps? I will need to buy one for this project and want to make sure I get one with enough power. I am sure my 18 volt cordless won't be able to to the Job.

Good video✌️
Hello! Should I cut to the exact wall to wall measurements or a few millimeters less? Thanks!
Walls are never square . You will end up needing to make another cut to make it fit. I would cut couple mm smaller
what kind of blade did you use?
How much space do leave on the side.say your cutting a piece to fit on top a 24 in cabinet. H0w much space do you want to hang over on each side.my fridge is on one side and stove on the other i got a lot pf play room to do it right
I would cut that @ 26 inches. That will leave one Inch on both sides.
Thank you
@@masterofnone So my father-in-law cutting to the exact width of the cabinets was not correct? Will I have difficulty installing the end cap laminate pieces? Will be my first time. not looking forward to built-in troubles! UGH!
@@terrenceriley4107 should leave at least 3/4” or 1” overhang
Great idea leaving the mistakes in… But you should mention that they are still there and not corrected… My impression was that you were correcting them as you were pointing them out… But otherwise fantastic!
It would be more comfortable to place the clamp handles underneath if possible.
Mistake number 1 was probably lack of eye protection
What are you using at the end for the side?
Fine tooth file
Do you need to fine tooth blades for this?
No you don't . It won't hurt to use if you have it. I am using the blade came with the Ridgid saw in this video
the tape trick was really the reason in this instance why there weren't rough edges.
What kind of file is that you used at the end?
Single cut flat
Thanks a lot :)
I suppose the name of the channel served as a warning which I foolishly ignored. When I go to RUclips looking for how to do something, I want a video from someone who has experience in the thing, not another person who is basically figuring it out like I am.
Can you show a 45 degree cut?
What do you do if the side you cut needs to be exposed?
That sell iron on sides you can attach/glue.
what kind of blade?
I learned tons from the video, but would have preferred at least a voiceover explaining things a little better.
How many tooth saw blade did you use?
40
What type of blade should I use ?
On this video I was using the 24 tooth carbide blade that came with the saw. You can also use 40-Teeth Finish/Plywood Saw Blade
good video....use your words though
I know the sound was on b/c I could hear the saw, but there was no explanation that I could hear. I didn't understand what the first mistake was, though the text explained the second. This would have been vastly more useful if there had been an audio explanation.
I am sorry I was not clear on that. Clamp was on the path of the saw. I needed to clamp it from the other side of the wood. I hope this helps.
The fellow at 0:00 could be related to Ian McCollum!
He is the one and only David Picciuto of Make Something channel
Ah, thanks for the info. :)
And thanks for this video--it really came in handy. :) @@masterofnone
You mean, Gun Jesus?
@@2AProud Indeed. :)
I think I'll just hire some one who knows what they're doing so no mistakes.
So this is really how not to cut countertop
Ever hear if a jigsaw bro?
Yes I did. Would be the last tool I would use for any straight cut.
Have Ridgid gave you a call yet?
Not yet, I'll wait.
Tare out? :/ But mistakes were noted and worked through, good stuff otherwise ;)
I wish you would just talk in the video.
da bears
Alive and Well 🖒🖒🖒
Mistake number 3
You spelt created wrong ;)
Add that to my mistakes tab :)
And you spelled spelled wrong
@@mm-xk7pg spelt past tense of spelled
