What to check before you order

  • Material. Wood, metal, pipe, conduit and strut each cut cleanly with a specific saw and blade. Portable band saws give clean cuts on pipe and threaded rod. Reciprocating saws handle rough cuts and demolition.
  • Blade size and arbor. Circular saw blades must match the saw's diameter and arbor. Band saws need the correct blade length.
  • Blade teeth. Higher tooth counts give smoother cuts in thin material; lower counts cut faster in thick stock. See saw blades.
  • Cordless or corded. Cordless saws are mobile. Corded saws suit all-day cutting at a station.
  • Guards and PPE. Keep guards working, follow the manufacturer's instructions, and wear eye and hearing protection.

Common questions

What is the difference between a worm drive and a sidewinder circular saw?

A sidewinder saw has the motor mounted directly beside the blade, which keeps it lighter and more compact. A worm drive saw turns the blade through a right-angle gear set, usually puts the blade on the left side of the motor, and delivers more torque for heavy framing cuts at the cost of extra weight.

Can a miter saw cut metal?

Many miter saws can cut aluminum and other nonferrous metals with a blade made for nonferrous metal, if the saw's manufacturer allows it. For steel, use a saw built for ferrous metal, such as an abrasive chop saw or a cold cut saw, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
