Power saw: how to choose?

The electric saw in the everyday life of modern man is a very necessary and useful thing. But how to choose it, because manufacturers offer dozens of different models. How not to make a mistake with the choice and do not overpay for an unnecessary set of functions? The answer to this question you will find further in our article.

The arsenal of cutting tools is diverse, but the electric saw blade has several major advantages over all other similar devices - accuracy, quality and cleanliness of sawing. For example, when compared with a chainsaw, it is lighter, greener (no exhaust gas) and does not create vibration during operation.

The electric saw blade has a lot of undeniable advantages. But we will focus on what important characteristics an instrument should have, for what purposes it is intended and under what conditions it can be exploited.

Do not stare at beautiful packaging and labels. Even well advertised companies can disappoint you with the quality of the tools produced. Therefore, it is better to trust the opinion of people who have already acquired such an assembly or consult with professionals in this field.

Before asking questions, first determine the type of work for which the electric saw is purchased, how often you plan to use it. And only then ask for advice. So to you, and to the expert it will be easier to choose models of devices, proceeding already from concrete wishes.

For example, there are electric saws designed only for household use, and there are devices that can be used even in the process of professional work. Why is this necessary? This parameter depends on the power, duration and frequency of use, the diameter of the disc. The larger the diameter of the disk, the more power is needed to cut. The speed of rotation is in the range of 1800-6000 rpm.

Conditionally power of disk electropliers can be divided into three categories:

- small (maximum 800 W);

- Average (800-1200 W);

- High (1200 W and more).

Depth of the cut. This parameter is determined by the size of the outer diameter of the disc. On domestic models the depth of cut is 50-70 mm. Such devices are light enough and maneuverable. There is also a hand-held disc electric saw with a smaller depth of cut, but these are already copies for the masters.

Professional disk electric saws provide depth of cut from 100 mm and more. Therefore, their weight can reach more than 10 kg. It will not be superfluous to install the tool permanently.

Disk electric saw on wood is suitable for the process of sawing any kind of wood: oak, linden, spruce, larch, alder, ash, etc.

A low level of vibration and noise of the tool provides comfort and convenience in work. The service life of the tool is increased by a lightweight construction on ball bearings. There is a riving knife, which prevents jamming of the disk during the work of the tool. Standard equipment includes the following elements:

- saw blade ;

- nozzle (for vacuum cleaner);

- Parallel stop;

- Allen key.
