Tools

When working with large volumes of wood, it may be necessary to use a circular saw. Compared to a hand saw, cutting building materials will take much less time and effort, and, for example, a jigsaw is not suitable for logs or timber. In such cases, a circular will come to the rescue. There are several circular saw types you can use for this purpose. You should choose the right type for the best cutting experience.

Benefits of Using Circular Saws

There are two main advantages of a circular saw include cutting accuracy and cutting speed. Despite the fact that a jigsaw can make a cut much more accurately, it loses significantly in speed. And when working with a chain saw, there is no need to talk about accuracy at all. It can quickly cut wood and perform a rough cut, but nothing more. If you are skillful enough, hand saws are fine for precise material processing but take a lot of time and effort.

Classification of Circular Saws

There are several criteria by which circulars can be classified. These include:

• Engine power – models are available from 800 W and above. Low-power devices can be equipped with a battery, which will give some autonomy in operation for 1-1.5 hours.
• The diameter of the disc and the corresponding cutting depth – there are models with a cutting depth of 60 mm and more.
• Tool weight – the more powerful the saw the more it will weigh. For example, a tool
