What stops the 2x4's from binding?


Why would they bind? They aren't being cut, just supporting the panel.

If I'm using a power hand saw to cut a panel I do it exactly the same
way...support the panel at/near the edges and on both sides of where I want
to cut. Doesn't everyone?

Exactly!


Some just don't get it.

Besides, would you rather lose a toe or a finger?

Clarification: The extended handle is at an angle.

I am walking about 2 feet behind the blade.

The trigger is held by my finger.

(A secondary safety in series pressure switch could be installed
should the saw plate rise from the board)

[not a bad idea for all saws]

Assuming that the saw kicks back or rises, the guard would be in place
before the saw would reach me.

Thanks for your inputs.
