This collection covers corded and cordless circular saws for straight cuts in timber, board and sheet material, including plunge-cut track saws for precise, splinter-free panel breakdown. It suits site carpenters, furniture makers and DIY renovators cutting anything from framing timber to kitchen worktops.
Choosing a circular saw
Blade diameter sets the maximum depth of cut, so a bigger blade is needed for thick timber or beam work while a compact saw suits sheet goods and general carpentry. Plunge-cut track saws pair with a guide rail for straight, tear-out-free cuts in melamine and veneered board, which a standard circular saw struggles to match. On cordless models, check the battery platform against tools you already own, and note that higher voltage generally means more power for ripping thicker stock. Corded saws still suit continuous site use where charging batteries isn't practical.
Brands stocked
The range spans Festool, Makita, Bosch Professional, Metabo, Einhell and Hikoki, from compact cordless saws to Festool's track saw system.
