    Default Circular Saw - Setup

    I was checking my circular saw and noticed that the blade alignment has a slight toe-in on it, relative to the edge of the plate.

    Is there any way to adjust this out?

    Put a shim in the rear locking mechanism if it's toed in to the thinner side of the sole plate. Otherwise disassemble and the rear mounting point hit with big hammer (not kidding). You then have to reset the verticle on the rear mount.

    If it's an ali sole plate don't hit with hammer.
