A circular saw in the everyday life of a modern person is an extremely necessary and useful thing. But how to choose it, because manufacturers offer dozens of diverse models. How not to make a mistake with the choice and at the same time not to overpay for an unnecessary set of functions? You will learn the answer to this question later in our article.
The arsenal of cutting tools is diverse, but the circular saw has several main advantages over all other similar devices - accuracy, quality and cleanliness of cut. For example, if you compare it with a chainsaw, then it is easier, more environmentally friendly (there are no exhaust gases) and does not create vibration during operation.
The circular saw has a lot of undeniable advantages. But we will focus on what important characteristics a tool should have, for what purpose it is intended, and in what conditions it can be operated.
Do not stare at the beautiful packaging and labels. Even well-publicized companies can disappoint you with the quality of their tools. Therefore, it is better to trust the opinion of people who have already purchased such an aggregate or consult with professionals in this field.
Before asking questions, first decide on what kind of work a disk power saw is purchased for, how often you plan to use it. And only after that, seek advice. So it will be easier for both you and the specialist to choose models of devices based on specific wishes.
For example, there are electric saws intended only for domestic use, and there are devices that can be used even in the process of professional work. Why is this needed? Power, duration and frequency of use, disk diameter depend on this parameter. The larger the diameter of the disk, the more power is needed to cut. The rotation speed is in the range of 1800-6000 revolutions per minute.
Conventionally, the power of circular power saws can be divided into three categories:
- small (maximum 800 watts);
- average (800-1200 W);
- high (1200 W or more).
Depth drank. This parameter is determined by the size of the outer diameter of the disk. On household models, the cut depth is 50-70 mm. Such devices are quite light and maneuverable. There is also a manual circular saw with a smaller depth of cut, but these are already instances for craftsmen.
Professional circular saws provide a cutting depth of 100 mm or more. Therefore, their weight can reach more than 10 kg. Here it will not be superfluous the possibility of stationary installation of the tool.
A circular saw for wood is suitable for the implementation of the sawing process of any wood species: oak, linden, spruce, larch, alder, ash, etc.
The low level of vibration and noise of the tool provides comfort and convenience during the work. Tool life is enhanced by lightweight ball bearing design. There is a proppant knife that prevents jamming of the disc during the operation of the tool. Standard equipment includes the following elements:
- saw blade ;
- branch pipe (for a vacuum cleaner);
- parallel emphasis;
- Allen key.
