ARCUS® Curve Cutting System
• Plunge cutting a circle from a piece of plywood
• Remove the precision cut wood circle leaving a precision cut circle frame
(Using a regular blade that is designed to cut straight.)
• Cut the circle frame in half and you cut both sides of the perfect arch in
less than one minute.
• Two identical arches have been made ready for framing in less than a
Minute
• round table top
• cutting the round center into quarters for precision corner shelving
that can be used in a kid’s room for holding toys or sporting
equipment, home office for books, closets and shelving for a book case.
• cut in half for half moon shelves
• sell to craft and hobby stores
• whatever your imagination comes up with.
The Contoured body, wide kerf and thicker plate, makes the blade
lying flat height 1/4 inch. Check your saw for clearance.
The Results are:
• Reduced tool cost - the circular saw is made into a multifunctional tool.
• Save time with a more efficient process than one using conventional
power tools
• Being able to make cuts at the jobsite instead of at a fabricating shop
• Save wear and tear on body - No more sore arms.
• Save money on labor - takes less time to cut the same cut.
• Use less electricity than using a jigsaw, band saw, router and than with
a circular saw blade that is forced to make the cut.
• Reduce material cost - the cut is done right the first time.
• Reduce the amount of wood scraps that goes to landfill by planning
cuts to reduce waste.

ARCUS® Curve Cutting Wood Blade
Contoured Curve Cutting Circular Saw Blade
Using the ARCUS® Curve Cutting Wood System (Circular Saw Blade and
Compass Guide) two identical arches can be made to build a doorway.
Arcus® is green and saving trees!
The perfect circle cut from the arch is ready to be used in other
projects since it’s edges are so smooth and perfect. This “scrap wood”
would normally go into a landfill.
Make Arcus® your circle cutter for all your woodworking needs!
The round wood that was removed from the arch frame can be used
for other projects for better green building practices.
