Introduction
The purpose of the fourth gate was gain a better understanding for how the device used its parts to generate motion and to create design changes for the circular saw on a system level. To accomplish this, a complete reassembly of our product was done and each step was recorded in detail to be used in later analysis. This was crucial because it helped to gain an understanding in how each of the parts were assembled in accordance to the kind of motion they would be responsible for producing. In addition, this was also important when considering design revisions because they would ultimately impact the assembly process of the product.

Difficulty Rating Scale
| Difficulty Rating | Description |
| 1 (Easy) | Requires little to no effort or required knowledge prior to assembly. Step is performed in a relatively quick amount of time. |
| 2 (Medium) | Requires greater force to perform assembly step. May require stabilization of product (ex. multiple hands holding product or vice grip) or require knowledge of product prior to assembly. Step may take some time to accomplish, but does not cause a serious interruption in the assembly process. |
| 3 (Hard) | Requires extreme force or tool not necessarily available to average person to perform assembly step. Certainly requires knowledge of product's design and intended functions of parts. Difficulty may cause assembly step to be incapable of performing until proper tools or knowledge are acquired. |
