How To Cut 70Mm X70Mm Wood
29 Answers
Hey everyone we have decided to make some wooden storage inthe garage and outside. We have bought the wood, joints etc but what is the best way to cut 70mmx70mm wood? Would a circular saw do? Or must we do it by hand. We do have a small ryobi circular saw but I think the depth is like 40mm max. We took this awesome photo of the wood we just bought http:// imgur.c om/gall ery/4E1 ypb9

......... but that's no help to you at all ;o(
The best I can suggest, is to clamp it well, then run down it with the Ryobi set on full 40mm depth.
Then, turn it over and use the Ryobi on the other side. The two 40mm cuts should join up.
But... it's going to make the circular saw work really hard, and possibly get stuck along the way.
Also, you would need a TCT blade (tungsten carbide tipped) to have any chance of success. It would have to be pretty sharp as well.

So just a normal hand saw will do? Its just with our lack of experience it takes a while and we can never get a straight edge. Is it doable with a circular saw as we watched a video and said the depth of the blade should be under the thickness of the wood. We never used the saw before you see its for decking and laminate flooring
UK, how many cuts do you have to do? If you can't cut straight with a handsaw, I suspect you wouldn't be able to do it with a circular saw, and circulars are potentially much more dangerous. Maybe you should pay someone to cut the wood for you.
Are you going to be able to put the wood together after it's cut? You'll presumably need to drill and screw.

Ok thanks then we will try by hand hehe 8m sure will improve we have about 20 cuts or so. We have the 90 degree joints with holes in and some wood screws. Do we have to drill a hole into the wood first in order to attach the joints ir just screw the screws straight in? Attaching to the floor seams easy as the wood slots into like a metal square we drill to the floor. Thanks again for the answers we are such noobs to this
Go to B&Q or somewhere like, & buy a new handsaw, not expensive & worth doing a lot cheaper than buying electric tools particularly if you aren't planning on lots of work projects.
Though I sharpen my own old Disston hand, panel & tenon saws with files & a saw-horse, though I'm probably among the last of those that do (or can do) this.

I think the kind of saw-horse you mean isn't the one I mean. The one for sharpening saws is a frame about 4metres high in which the saw is trapped between 2 slats of wood while it is sharpened.
What you want is made from a piece of 4"x 2" or 3 with four 3"x2" legs (approx. sizes). The tools you need are a saw, an adjustable bevel & a 1" chisel I'm sure there's a youtube on it somewhere.

Yes similar to this https:/ /www.bu ildeazy .com/sa whorse/ thank you.
That's the kind of sawing horse you need UK, in your link.
I use these saws often..

Also, if you lay the saw across the timber, you'll find that it is exactly 90 degrees between the handle and the blade. Use this to mark a line with a pencil. (Horizontal cut.)
Then lay the handle on top of the timber again, but this time with the blade hanging down. This will give you a 90 degree vertical line for cutting. Vertical cut.)
*** Respect to Khandro. I haven't sharpened a Disston since 1985 ;o)
The ones in my link are throw-away, but they stay sharp for ages.

70 x 70 is nothing at all with a new hand saw. It would take seconds. Buy yourself a square and mark two adjoining faces of a scrap piece of wood. Clamp it to a bench and just cut a 1" piece off, using both the lines for guidance. Repeat this a number of times and within half a dozen cuts you will see an improvement in your manual cutting abilities.
It needn't be difficult .. have a quick glance at this and it may give you another idea ..

If you go down the circular saw route have a plan in place as well as a first aid kit..
Who will drive to A&E,
A small plastic box and ice to put the fingers in etc.
Good luck !
