Circular saws 101
Let’s begin by taking a closer look at circular saws before diving into how you choose the right one later in the article. Circular saws are ideal for making quick, straight cuts across a board - this is called crosscuts - or along the length of the board - this is called rip cuts. It is also possible to make bevel cuts with a circular saw. Usually a circular saw consists of the following things:
-
A foot plate that helps steady the circular saw against the workpiece.
-
A blade guard which covers the blade when you don’t use it. This ensures that the saw will last longer, and it is protected in between uses.
-
What is called a bevel adjustment which allows the foot plate to tilt in relation to the blade. This is what makes bevel cuts possible with a circular saw.
-
Lastly, a circular saw also consists of a depth adjustment which allows for workpieces of different thickness.
Circular saws come in both cordless and corded models. Cordless circular saws are very convenient since you do not need to be close to an outlet, however, they are smaller than the corded models.
Things to consider when buying circular saw blades
Whether it is your first time buying circular saw blades or it is your tenth time, it is always nice to have a few tips and tricks so make sure you choose the right blades. At vidaXL, we offer different types of saw blades, and each saw blade has different properties.
In order to choose the right saw blades there are a few things you need to consider. First of all, you need to check which type of circular saw machine you have as not every saw blade will fit every machine. There are also different blades for different materials. For instance, a wood saw blade is not suitable for cutting metal. Moreover, these factors are also important to think about:
-
Diameter. Consider how big the diameter of the saw blade needs to be. Remember, it should match the capacity of the machine you already have.
-
Stem blade. This is another factor to consider. The center of your saw blade usually contains slots that cools the blade and dampens noise and vibration.
-
Spindle hole. This needs to be the same as your machine as it is the diameter of the spindle hole that you attach your blade to.
-
The saw teeth. You can get saw blades with either a few or a lot of teeth. The more teeth, the more accurate. However, the saw blades with more teeth are usually also more expensive. The saw blades with fewer teeth are generally faster, however, they are less accurate.
-
The tooth angle. This will help determine the type of cut, and therefore it is important to consider the tooth angle.
-
The cutting width. The cutting width will also be bigger than the diameter of the stem blade. Generally, the wider the cut, the greater the power required.
These are the most important things to consider when buying circular saw blades, and you should be well equipped to choose the right one for you with these tips.
