Perhaps someone should have read the reviews before posting this. Smilie
===============

This is where Harbor Freight is as good or better, but I prefer a piece of U shaped (1" x 3" or 4" x 1") shaped straight aluminum with two clamps, or a decent straight level with two clamps that is multi-usage. And make sure whatever fits tight to board being cut, or the shoe of many saws will go under. Or, just mark and cut free hand. The other option is an expensive Track saw.

For cabinetry type work, I have never seen anyone that good with free handing a circular saw or router and why table saws and router tables are widely used. If just rough sawing sheeting, then sure.

Make a jig with some scraps and you never have to worry about measuring X inches away from your cutting line. Put the jig directly on the line you want to cut and go.

That's fine if you do not require precision cuts. But for myself, 1/32" off can be a costly mistake. And when using a wood guide, it can cause blade deflection (which is why track saws use rubber strips.)

So if you do use a wood one look at cutting it a bit proud, and add a piece of that junky silicone tape they make for doors to the bottom. Now you're cut line will be more accurate and your blade won't rub.

But remember... it's still wood. So it will change with weather, where aluminum will not. (Unless maybe the garbage grade aluminum used by companies like BORA, and Kreg. )

Even a cheap circular saw with a good blade can be used for finish work, cabinetry, and furniture building, as long as the shoe is straight and the blade parallel. But not with a chalk line.

Youtube has been a wonderful resource for many applications and ideas.

Because each layer's wood grain is in opposite direction (or 45 degrees) to each other, plywood has been a rather stable material that resists expansion and contraction.

you are using a circular saw for high precision cuts?

why not use a table saw

If your level is 100" long, low enough profile to not interfere too much with your circular saw motor, has a built in clamp, with lots of available accessories, that would be a great alternative.
