Three types of saws are available: circular saws, jigsaws, and reciprocating saws, although the latter is more suited to DIY tasks than woodwork. Circular saws and jigsaws can perform most of the jobs that do not require more heavy-duty machine saws, such as table saw (see opposite) and band saws. Both are ideal for carpentry work and cutting timber and manufactured boards to a rough size prior to machining or trimming with a plane or router. Power saws can be either corded or battered-powered.
← Circular saws
There are two types of circular saw. The first type has a sole plate that is set to the desired depth and fixed before use; this type of saw is fed into the the work from the edge. The second type has an adjustable sole plate. As the saw is lowered, the base plate stops moving once the blade reaches the preset depth. This type of saw perform plunging cuts as well as standard cuts.
