Cordless Circular Saw Guide |
OverviewCircular saw are design for dimensioning of sheet goods and making cuts in framing members. The spinning blade creates fast, accurate, straight cuts. Curved cuts of very long radii are possible, but outside of the sweet spot of this tool. Cordless circular saws are functionally equivalent to corded models. They are, however, severely limited in their cutting power. Operation of a circular saw is an inherently energy intensive operation. The blade removes a considerable amount of stock as it moves through the workpiece. Continuous use of cordless circular saw in construction environment with only a handful of batteries is not possible given current battery technology. A cordless circular saw is capable for manking cuts at a considerably slower speed than a corded model can. The portability a cordless model affords can be very useful on the jobsite. Not having to manage the cord can make a cut made with a cordless saw actually faster than one made with standard saw. On the jobsite a cordless saw is a second saw that goes places the standard saw can't go. At home a cordless saw can be the only circular saw in the tool chest. If only a few cuts are made per use, a cordless model can be all you need. Shopping Guide1) Choose a battery voltageThe battery boltage limits the power available to the motor. Saws with a higher battery voltage are able to put more power into the blade and cut. In general higher battery voltage saws cut faster. 2) Choose a blade diameterThe blade diameter defines most of the saws cutting capabilities and use cases. 7 1/4" saws are full size framing saws. Smaller blades are used for trim and curved cuts. 3) Choose a blade mountChoose the side you'd like the blade mounted on. This is a personal preference. |
