Summary:A new design factor affecting the accuracy of lateral positioning of a guided circular saw is identified. Conventional guide configurations lead to a "hunting" behavior, where the sawblade does not remain perpendicular to the drive shaft, but always drifts to one side or the other. This behavior is explained using a simple geometrical model, and methods of preventing or minimizing the effect are described
