Tonight I pulled out my portable circular saw, and proceeded to screw a piece of plywood to the bottom so I could cut through my piece of 2" thick black walnut.
I need some for the drivers side cabinet below the counter top. I cut off a piece about 1 - 1/4 inch wide the full length of the board.
Since the Ryobi won't cut 2 inch thick wood, I cut just over 1 inch deep from the top, then flipped the board over and cut the rest from the bottom.
Almost all of the cut looked like this, which was not noticeable that it was cut from both the top and bottom. Somedays, things just work like they should.
