Which circular saw to choose?

Circular saw power supply

Type and method of cutting

WHAT KIND OF SAW BENCH IS THE BEST FOR ME? WITH ELECTRIC MOTOR OR FOR CARDAN TRACTOR?

The first consideration is which power supply to choose for the circular saw. You can opt for a model with an electric motor or one with a cardan drive. The first type has the advantage of being independent from any other means, but it must be used not too far from a power outlet while using an extension with a large section cable. The second, on the other hand, is advantageous because it is independent from sources of electricity and easily transportable with a tractor. The latter can be useful for use in wooded areas far from homes.

What type of saws can I choose?

Saw benches with sliding guard for sawing wood

Sliding protection

Useful for those who have to cut branches that are not very large. The piece to be cut is blocked with the locking system and the protection is pushed forward, which slides on bearings on the sides of the table below.

Circular saw with table that slides with safety devices

Sliding table

This solution foresees the sliding of the whole table. The structure is more robust and stable than the previous one (or the one with sliding protection).

Tilting system or saw stand for circular saw

Swinging table

Useful for those who have to cut branches that are not very large. Block the piece with the locking system and push forward the protection that slides on the bearings on the sides of the table below.

Sliding blade

Useful for those who have to cut branches that are not very large. Block the piece with the locking system and push forward the protection that slides on the bearings on the sides of the table below.

The type of blade must be chosen based on the quantity of wood or the size of the logs and / or branches of wood to be cut. It must be borne in mind that not all the diameter of the blade is exploited, since the central part is occupied by the shaft and the pulley, the useful cutting capacity is reduced. Each circular disc has its own cutting capacity, the various models based on the cutting capacity are illustrated below.

Ø 700

The useful cutting capacity of saws with a Ø 700 circular blade ranges from 245 mm to 270 mm.

BLADE Ø 600

The useful cutting capacity of saws with a Ø 600 circular blade ranges from 190 mm to 220 mm.

Ø 550

The useful cutting capacity of saws with a Ø 550 circular blade ranges from 180 mm to 185 mm.

Ø 450

The useful cutting capacity of saws with a Ø 450 circular blade ranges from 160 mm to 165 mm.
