Corded circular saw FAQs
What is a circular saw best for?
A circular saw is perfect for quick, straight cuts in timber, ply and most building materials. With the right blade, it can also tackle metal, plastics and composites - making it one of the most versatile tools in your kit.
Common uses for circular saws:
Cutting framing timber and sheet materials
Slicing ply and particle board
Trimming decking boards to size
Metal cutting ( specialised blade required)
General site and workshop cutting
Is a circular saw or a table saw better?
It depends on the job. A table saw is the go-to for dead-set precise, repeat cuts in the workshop, while a circular saw is your portable all-rounder on site, ready to slice sheets, frame timber and handle almost anything that comes your way.
Typical applications:
Circular saw: On-site framing, sheet cutting, demolition work, trimming doors
Table saw: Repetitive, precision workshop cuts, ripping long boards, cutting panels to exact width
What’s the difference between a jigsaw and a circular saw?
A circular saw is built for fast, straight cuts in timber, sheet goods and other large materials, using a rotating blade for speed and efficiency. A jigsaw uses a narrow, up-and-down blade to make curved, angled or intricate cuts with greater control.
Both are versatile power saws, but the best choice depends on the shape, speed and precision your job needs:
Circular saws
Used for: Straight, fast, long cuts in timber, plywood, MDF, or composite boards
Advantage: High cutting speed, depth capacity, and clean straight edges
Jigsaws
Used for:
Curves, patterns, plunge cuts, and detailed work in timber, plastic, or thin metal
Advantage:Precision for shapes and flexibility for varied materials
