Choose the Right Circular Saw Design 

Circular Saw Features to Consider 

Whether you prefer a standard or compact circular saw, look for a saw that includes the attributes necessary for making your projects easier. After deciding on a design, compare these features to find the perfect product for you: 

· Cutting Power: Circular saws with higher volts and amps deliver stronger cutting power. 

· Depth Control: The diameter of the blade determines the depth of the cut that the power saw can achieve. Before choosing a circular saw, determine what blade diameter you'll need to cut through the various thicknesses of the materials you'll be working with. 

· Changing the Blade: Some circular saws feature easy-change blade systems that can minimize downtime if you frequently use multiple blades.  

· Laser Line: For improved accuracy when making straight cuts, pick a circular saw equipped with a built-in laser.  


Cordless vs. Corded Circular Saws 

With the appropriate blade, a circular saw is capable of cutting through ceramic tile, wood, masonry and steel. We carry both cordless and corded circular saws from the best brands to help you complete your projects. 


Cordless Circular Saws 

A convenient option for when you're working on projects or in areas where an extension cord might be difficult to use, cordless circular saws usually range in size from 5 and 3/8 to 6 and 1/2 inches. They work well in confined spaces and are typically smaller than their corded circular saw counterparts. While cordless circular saws can cut through tough materials, the additional power needed for those applications may drain batteries quickly. If you're searching for a small circular saw suitable for light-duty to medium-duty capability, a cordless circular saw may be a great fit. 


Corded Circular Saws 

Corded circular saws may be better suited for tougher cutting projects such as steel, masonry or continuous woodcutting. While corded handheld circular saws come in many different sizes, the most common is 7 and 1/4 inches. The use of a corded circular saw requires an appropriate extension cord. You should always follow the manufacturer's recommendations to ensure safe use of these power tools.
