Fast and Straight Cutting
A circular saw is a powerful tool used for cutting wood, metal, or plastic with speed and precision. It has a toothed, round blade that spins at high speeds, making straight cuts much faster than a handsaw.
To use a circular saw, place the material on a stable surface and measure where you want to cut. Adjust the depth of the blade to slightly exceed the thickness of the material. Hold the saw firmly with both hands, align the blade with the cut line, and guide it steadily forward. Always wear safety goggles and keep hands away from the blade. Circular saws are ideal for cutting large sheets of plywood, trimming lumber, or making precise straight cuts in flooring. They are a favorite for both DIYers and professionals.
