Mini Circular Saw (Cordless) In Stock Now

WHAT IT DOES

A circular saw is a power tool used for cutting wood and other materials, especially when you have a large amount of cuts to make and where using hand tools would be slow or cumbersome.
It’s most often used for cutting up timber (including plywood, MDF, and laminates) but with the right blade you can cut other materials like countertops, cement, metal, or ceramic tile.
Circular saws are for making straight cuts and can be used for cross cuts along the width of a board and rip cuts along the length of a board; with clamps you can make angular cuts.
