Criterias of choice

Power. This criterion is considered the most important. It affects the number of revolutions of the blade, as well as the depth of cut. If you plan to do only light household chores with the help of a circular saw, options with a power of up to 1200 W are perfect.

If the work is more complex and voluminous, it is best to consider models with a power of more than 1600 watts.

Experienced craftsmen strongly advise beginners to purchase a power tool with a margin of power characteristics so that in the future there will be no problems with its use.

Disc diameter. An equally important parameter affects the cutting depth. When using a circular saw for domestic purposes, the ideal option is with a diameter of 89-185 mm, capable of cutting 27-45 mm.

Semi-professional power tools have a cutting depth of 50-55 mm and a blade diameter of 160-170 mm. As for the units of a professional level, they have a depth indicator of 60-100 mm and a disc diameter of 160-235 mm.

It is important to keep in mind that the larger the circular saw blade, the more expensive it will cost to purchase.

Rotational speed. This criterion affects the permissible density of the processed material, as well as the cleanliness of the work process. The average speed indicator for circular saws is 5500 rpm.

It is best to choose a power tool with this speed or faster, whether it will be used in a home or professional environment.
