Hi
I'm wondering how folks ensure that they get square cuts when using circular saw guides?
Last fall, I bought an Ez-Smart guide with the speed square, but I find that my cuts are off by as much as 1/16" when cutting larger sized panels (on say ~4'x4' panel). I'm sure the problem has to do with:
1) the fact that the square itself may not be square enough
2) the length of the square might not be long enough compared to the length of the cuts (the square is 1.5' in length).
For issue #1, the manufacterer has a procedure to square up guide using a rafter's square, but I question whether I could find a rafter's square that's accurate enough to fix the problem. I have some accurate engineers squares, but they're certainly way too small to be used in this application. But even if I could somehow get the square perfectly squared up, I still dont think this addresses issue #2...
So I open this up to you guys who use saw guides (be it EZ, festool, Dewalt, etc.), how do you get square cuts?
Thanks
