Understanding what to look for in a circular saw can be tricky for those of you who are not tool experts. The great thing about these construction tools is that you don't need to be a professional contractor to require one and they are simple to use once you have found the proper tool for your immediate needs. You want to make sure you consider a variety of factors, not only by the sale price.
First and foremost you want to consider corded or cordless. In the past you may have heard that cordless circular saws were underpowered but this has been resolved over the years with more substantial battery power and technology. These cordless power tools are great in areas where outlets are not accessible and they can be purchased in 18 volt - 28 volts of power. If you choose something below 18 volts you will find it to be underpowered for most projects you have in mind.
18 Volt Reciprocating Saw
When you're considering getting a corded circular saw, you need to look at how many amps the motor has. If you are simply looking to complete household projects, then 13 amps should be most sufficient. However, if you are more of an avid builder you may want to consider 15 amps for the more intense and heavy duty jobs that may come your way. Now that you have an idea of what to look for in regards to cordless or corded, let's go through the general features of both.
Ergonomics has become a big deal in the tool industry. Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the worker. The extra comfort can greatly reduce user fatigue and create a safer atmosphere for usage. Sightlines are a great feature for those who are new to electric saws. They can help you cut a straight line each and every time. Some circular saws come with a laser guide line for that extra accuracy. Bevel cutting ability is great for making angled cuts up to 50 degrees. Electric brakes are an important safety feature which can stop the blade within seconds.
When choosing your circular saw, you want to consider the power behind the motor, the features and the safety features so you are getting the most for your money. Saving a bit of money and skimping on safety features like electric brakes or a sturdy base plate is not worth the risk.
