Circular saw no longer cuts straight? My circular saw doesn't want to cut in a straight line anymore....
My circular saw doesn't want to cut in a straight line anymore. Anyone know what would mete out this?
Replacing your blade with a good ability carbide tipped blade will do the trick. Sometimes, a dull blade will be sharper on one side. In this case, the cut will want to stear towards the sharper side, causing a non-straight cut. Remedy--New blade.
Blade is dull. If you look at a saw blade you will see (generally) the teeth alternate from side to side.
If the teeth on one side get dulled consequently the blade will want to wander / cut in solely one direction.
Either resharpen or replace the blade.

Answers: 1- plate is not tight, causing saw to be on slight angle,
2- loose or dull blade
Another thought save for dull blade would be the bearing is worn.. Mine did what you were describing and the good posture was the culprit... It was time time to bring a new one for me anyways. Just a thought,,, Dull blade, bent blade, bad stance or operator error.
