Used for crosscuts and rip cuts, the circular saw's base plate can be adjusted to make bevel cuts. Typically, the circular saw is subjected to rougher treatment than most other portable power tools. Therefore, a frequently used circular saw requires heavy duty features such as beefed-up horsepower, carbide-tipped blades, ball and roller bearings and rugged gears.
Saw with one or more rotating circular blades mounted on the same axle
A hand-held power saw consisting of a circular disk, usually with a toothed edge.
Saw with a circular blade, powered by electricity or battery either bench mounted or hand held.
A round saw having teeth on its perimeter.
a power saw that has a steel disk with cutting teeth on the periphery; rotates on a spindle
a heavy-duty saw, essential for quick, accurate, straight cutting of any type of wood - but especially heavy-duty timber and sheet materials
a versatile tool for both rough and finish cutting
This portable power-tool workhorse makes straight and angle cuts as well as large pocket cuts -- all more quickly and accurately than you could do by hand. Specialty blades are designed for ripping and crosscutting lumber and cutting plywood. A saw with a 6 1/2-inch blade capacity will handle most jobs; get a 7 1/2-inch saw to make angle cuts in stock as thick as 2x4s. Home Improvement Encyclopedia
The circular saw is subjected to rougher treatment than any other portable power tool as it tackles some of the toughest jobs while being used for crosscuts and rip cuts. The higher the amperage, the more capable and easier for the circular saw to cut through any material including waterlogged wood.
Portable power saw which has a circular, toothed blade and a handle with a trigger switch. A platform, which is adjustable for depth of cut or angularity, holds the work to be cut.
a portable, heavy-duty cutting tool that works well on a variety of projects, from framing a wood or metal building to rough metal fabrication work. Ideal for cutting, cleaning and slotting of all types of metal and masonry. A circular saw does not have a built-in cutting guide and requires a hand-held guide, so it is generally used for rough cutting. Some models come with electric brakes and a quick depth adjustment for a more accurate cut. Maximum HP is around 2.5 with no-load speeds up to 5,000 RPM.
