If you clamp the straight edge to the side you are keeping (ie. not the

Thanks, my worry is that I have no waste at all, both halves are to be
used as top is exactly the correct length


If things are that tight you are going to struggle. Will the thickness of
the circular saw blade rob you of too much material? If so you're going to
have to use a jigsaw for a thinner blade.

If you can afford to loose the SC blade thickness then you could always
attach a second straight edge to stop you from wandering off the line.


Thanks for the advice, I have about 5-10mm spare!
