Zero Clearance Circular Saw......

TexasTimbers

I got a solicitation in the mail some years back offering a circular saw which would make a cut right up against a wall. The blades were made special for the saw which, was obviously special too.
The blade had a slight inset where the arbor nut would not even gouge a trough along the wall.
I kept that brochure for several years knowing I was going to buy that saw "anytime now" but never got around to it.
I can't remember the name of the comapny or saw. I want to say it was a eed saw but that not for sure. i do belive it was a small independent manufacturer.
Anyone can throw any leads my way, I need that saw next week.
I will probably end up sacrificing one of my existing saws and fabricating one, but I have better things to do if I can just buy it.

I have seen a picture of a zero clearance saw, but beats me where....and now I remember...there is one on E-bay right now....it is a jamb saw that is made from a conventional circular saw. Try the contruction category, and seach nearest....I am pretty sure that is how I spotted it. Since we are only 200 miles apart as the crow flies, you would get most of the search hits I get....and when it occured to me where I saw it, I was going to suggest an old jamb saw would work.

There was a thread about cutting flooring out without removing the baseboard trim.

Crain was one saw that was recommended. Perhaps you're looking for something larger?

I resemble that remark! How dare you challenge my fabrication skills!

AA,
Nope that ain't it. That's a cool saw but the one I am looking for is an otherwise standard issue circ but with the flush cut capability.

Jay I could not find it on ebay. Will look later gotta get on that sawmill cuttin more joists and rafters afore the danged rain hits. We are getting it for the next 3 days you want some?..
