The best way to keep the saw from meandering across the board is to either buy or build a guide for the saw. Lowes has some nice aluminum ones that come with the C clamps, or you can make your own and buy the clamps you need to hold it steady. I would suggest making one for the simple fact that when you use the aluminum one's you have to add the distance from the edge of the saw to the blade to the cut measurement. Whereas with the one's you make all you have to do is line it up with the line to cut from all the different plans I've seen for them on the net. Plus they're really quite simple to build. Cut the end of a piece of MDF or another board of some type, the whole 48" and the long length as well. An inch or two wide is all you need. Then glue and screw (or nail) back on the board with the factory cut side facing in. You'll have to do one at a time on this step as well. Then take your circular saw, set it up against the rail you just screwed (or nailed) and make another cut. The piece that comes off will be the perfect width for your saw and when clamped down on your cut lines will give you a perfectly straight cut every time. Just remember to adjust the new fence for blade width (usually 1/8") for inside cuts.Here's some links to free plans and instructions.number 1number 2number 3
