Is it okay to attach a circular saw blade to my power drill


Do not attempt to cut wood with a circular saw blade attached to a drill. It will be very dangerous and work very badly if at all.

The suggestion to get a handsaw is correct. A short utility saw will do but will be more work. A longer rip saw will do the job better and faster but the utility saw will be more versatile for future projects.

A Japanese Ryoba saw would also work, many find it easier as it cuts on the pull stroke, and it has both crosscut and rip edges for even better versatility.

For reference this is a utility saw…





This is a rip saw…


And this is a Ryoba…
