Which circular saw makita is better
How to choose the right drive?
When choosing a replacement disc, they are guided by both the type of material and the requirements for the quality of the cut.
When choosing a disc for a circular, you should pay attention to the alloy from which it is made and the shape of the teeth.
Smooth, beautiful edges in it are impossible when using a disc with carbide taps. They are provided only by discs in which there are no solders.
The circular saw equipped with them copes well with soft woods. Hard wood is much more difficult to process, and if there is a nail in it, then you will have to say goodbye to the disk: it will not work with broken teeth. A carbide-tipped tool will cut the nail easily, but the edges will not be very neat.
The shape of the teeth also affects the quality of the cut.
With a positive angle of sharpening (in the direction of rotation), which is called active, it is convenient to saw wood or plastic. Negative, otherwise passive, the sharpening angle (against the direction of rotation of the disc) makes it possible to saw metal: tin or copper. But if a saw with such a disc is used for processing wood, the quality of the cut will be low, with ragged edges.
For longitudinal sawing of solid wood, it is better to choose a blade with a low number of teeth (approximately 10-28, depending on the diameter).
However, when sawing wood across the grain, the disc will be too rough. A high number of fine teeth (from 60 to 80) will provide a high-quality cut, practically without tearing out the material, which is especially important when processing plywood sheets and chipboards. But with an increase in the number of teeth, the power consumption will also increase.

But with an increase in the number of teeth, the power consumption will also increase.
New to the circular saw family
Currently, tools are being produced that can operate on a battery, and not only in a professional version, but also in an amateur one. The widest assortment is presented by Bosch. It should be noted that the BOSCH GKS 36 V-LI Professional circular saw with a lithium-ion battery has a weight of only 4.8 kg.
The Makita BSS 610 RFE tool weighs even less. 3.2 kg. High capacity Li-Ion batteries and a specially designed motor work together to provide a long run time without recharging. The battery recharging itself takes about half an hour.
Very convenient is such an innovation as a laser pointer, which allows you to make an even cut, even if the marking line is covered with wood dust and is not visible. Most models are now equipped with a built-in work surface lighting system.
The developers pay attention to improving the level of security of the tool. In particular, the disc at rest is completely covered by a pendulum cover. Its teeth are exposed only when it comes into contact with the material.
Perhaps many will be interested in the Evolution RAGE-B multipurpose circular saw. The patented technology used to create this tool makes it possible to cut wood, plastic, aluminum, steel sheet up to 6 mm thick with one disc.
By changing the universal disc to a diamond one, the same device can cut brick, stone and concrete. The cutting depth is adjustable, its maximum value is 60 mm. The cutting incline can also be adjusted from 0 to 45o.
recently, a tool called “Rotorazer” went on sale, which combines the functions of a jigsaw, circular saw, band saw, hacksaw and tile cutter. Replaceable blades in it are quite simple to rearrange, and many willingly use the new product for simple repair work. The tool does not work with materials thicker than 12 mm, but it cuts almost everything: from carpet to stone.
When renovating an apartment, sometimes you need to saw something. To do this, you can use an ordinary hacksaw.
However, most home craftsmen, who often deal with hand tools, sooner or later prefer to replace it with an electric one. There are several types of electric saws. The chain model, as a rule, is used for harvesting firewood, but in order to make a long and neat cut in the wood, a circular saw is more suitable.
A stationary power saw will greatly help in the construction of a country lady, as it is powerful and capable of processing a large amount of material.
The main parameters characterizing the model
The domestic version will cost about half the price of the professional one, but it is designed for only 15-20 minutes of continuous operation, after which the engine must be allowed to cool down. But since the electric saw has a high performance, the specified time is enough to cut a sufficient number of workpieces. If you don’t work with it for more than 30 hours a month, a household tool will satisfy your needs. It should also be borne in mind that household models are usually single-phase, and professional ones are three-phase, requiring mandatory grounding.
Household circulars are not designed to work for more than 15-20 minutes.
It is better to buy branded products: both imported and domestic. A too cheap unit from an unknown manufacturer is usually of poor quality. But even a high-quality circular saw has a certain specialization, in accordance with which it is determined for which type of work and material which circular saw is more suitable.
When assessing the “business qualities” of the chosen instrument, they usually pay attention to the following indicators:
-
power; rotation speed, its variety: variable or constant; disc diameter; cutting depth; weight; vibration and noise level; ease of use (how well the saw “lies in the hand”); cost; warranty period.
In a good saw, the blade should be parallel to the sole. Its slope as well as the cutting depth are easily adjustable, the tool does not cover the work surface.
The way to remove dust and sawdust matters. Some models have a special container for collecting them (for example, MAKITA 5017 RKB), others provide the ability to connect to a special vacuum cleaner or a similar dust extraction unit via an adapter. Performance is improved by creating a rational ventilation and cooling system.
Do you always have to choose the most powerful tool?
If you will be working with circular no more than 30 hours a month, a low power tool is fine for you.
The longer the circulating model must work without interruption, the more powerful its engine must be. The power for this type of tool is in the range from 500 to 2500 W.
It depends on it how easy the disc will move and how quickly the motor will heat up. But the higher the power, the heavier the product will turn out. And this, in turn, will significantly affect the usability.
After all, hands get tired faster from a heavy instrument. Consequently, rest pauses will still have to be done: either for the engine or for the hands. But you will have to pay more for the increased saw power.
If there is a need for a long-term operation of the unit, it is attached upside down to the table.
For this, there are special fasteners. With a stationary attachment, it is not the instrument that is brought to the board, but the board is brought to the instrument. Using such an improvised machine, you can easily saw a large number of rails.
The engine power, of course, in this case should be increased. Not every circular saw is equipped with fasteners, but fasteners are sold separately for some models. Therefore, when choosing a heavy tool of high power, it will not be superfluous to ask if it is possible to mount it permanently.
Basic models for DIYers and professionals
Domestic saw “Zubr” is suitable for cutting wood, chipboard, fiberboard, it can be connected to a vacuum cleaner so that wood dust does not get into the lungs.
If the circular saw will not serve you as your main production tool, you can opt for relatively inexpensive tools.
Skil products are characterized by high cutting accuracy, equipped with a comfortable handle, lightweight and compact. For example, the Skil 5740 LA weighs only 2.4 kg. The Skil 5165 LA, Skil 5265 LA and Skil 5265 LD models can be connected to a vacuum cleaner or a special dust bag.
Saw “Zubr ZPD 900” has gained great popularity thanks to a 3-year warranty. If you are not too lazy and register on the company’s website, you can get a 5-year warranty.
True, this device is somewhat heavy in comparison with similar products of foreign companies, but in terms of price and quality it has a clear advantage. The universal household tool is suitable for cutting wood, chipboard, fiberboard, including damp material. To prevent small particles of wood from getting into the lungs, the developers of the model provided for the possibility of connecting the Zubr to a vacuum cleaner.
From the products manufactured by Bosch, we can recommend a circular saw for household (green) and professional use (blue).
Most of the models have a turbo-blowing of sawdust from the treated surface and an adapter for connecting a dust extraction. Bosch tools are at the forefront of power-to-weight ratio. In addition to them, professionals highly appreciate tools from the companies “Makita” and “Hitachi” (Japan), “DE WALT” (USA).

Sawing depth and adjustable tilt angle
In some models there are adjustments to the depth of cut of the tilt angle.
Most of the models make it possible to make a cut with a depth of 50 to 70 mm. If you have to work with a board up to 50 mm thick, plywood, chipboard, fiberboard, it is better not to spend extra money and purchase a lightweight compact model with a small diameter disc, about 160 mm. In more expensive devices there is a disc with a diameter of 190-200 mm, they are noticeably heavier, but at the same time, the cut provides a deeper cut, up to 70 mm.
Tilt angle adjustment can range from 90 to 45 degrees.
A modern circular saw makes it possible to adjust the level of inclination of its base. Thanks to the tilt, you can also cut at an angle of up to 45 °. however, this significantly reduces the cutting depth. So, at the maximum angle of inclination, the cutting depth is reduced by a third, that is, with a declared cut of 63 mm, its real depth will be only 42 mm. When choosing a tool, this feature should be taken into account, choosing a model for cutting at an angle with a disc of a sufficiently large diameter.
Continuing the topic, one cannot fail to mention the Worx WT431KE circular saw. It has a revolving handle, in which the angle of inclination can be varied from 0 to 60 °. This innovation is used only in products of the WORX company and is its proprietary development. It makes it possible to individually adapt the tool to any person and make his work more convenient.

Circular saw or miter saw. which one to choose?
You want to make a nice table to match your couch, but can’t decide between a miter saw and a circular saw?
Don’t worry, read our comparison guide to find out all the differences between the two saws and decide which one is the best for your task.
Some people think that one of them is better than the other, others that there is not much difference between them, and one can replace one saw with another. Nevertheless, each of them has its own characteristics and it is better to use the saw precisely for its intended purpose.
So let’s first take a quick look at the advantages and disadvantages of both types of saws.
Miter saw
What is a miter saw?
Cross-cut is a tool for precise, mainly cross-cutting, cutting of a workpiece. Most miter saws are small and portable. Unlike stationary miter saws, you can pull it out and set it on a temporary base by placing a drop mechanism (sometimes called drip) over your workpiece. Blade sizes most commonly used for miter saws range from 8 to 12 inches (20-30 cm).
What is a miter saw used for??
You can use it to create cross cuts on a workpiece in one quick motion. But more importantly, you can do it at your chosen angle. It is the best choice when you need to cut planks and moldings.
pros
The miter saw is useful when you need precise cross-cuts in your workpieces. This saw is also a great option for miter cuts.
This is one of the main competitive advantages of this saw over other types of saws. Most importantly, the miter saw is one of the safest.
The Best Makita Circular Saw
Minuses
Despite all the advantages, a miter saw is useless when you are about to cut large workpieces. While it is the best choice for cross-sections, trimming can be ineffective with long cuts (over 15 centimeters).
Miter saws are more of a luxury than a necessity.
A circular saw
Also called circular saw, this saw is equipped with a toothed or abrasive disc that allows you to cut various materials in a rotary motion, moving around an axis.
What is a circular saw used for?
The circular saw is commonly used in a variety of woodworking projects. However, the cutting tasks depend to a large extent on the type of blade that is mounted on the circular saw. This saw can be produced both for the left and for the right hand. During operation, the circular is largely based on the part of the structure in which the engine is located.
pros
Circular saws are very compact, making them easy to move. Usually, you transfer the circular saw to the workpiece, and conversely, in the case of miter saws, you take the material where the saw is already installed.
These saws are capable of making long rip cuts.
Minuses
This type of saw is much more difficult to use than a miter saw. A circular saw requires more skill and a lot of experience is required to use it.
From a safety standpoint, a miter saw is a better choice than a circular.
