Only for this you need to install a special disk. “Komsomolskaya Pravda” tells about the best circular saws 2022, which are available on sale.
Rating of top-10 according to KP
Makita HS7601 (from 7300)
The popular brand of power tools has a range of circular saws in its arsenal. This is the most popular model, the best on the characteristics. power, weight, And now let’s return to our heroine. You can connect a vacuum cleaner to it, so that you can clearly see the line for the trimmer cut. To the graphite brushes, which are used for safety work, there is easy access. The back of the motor is flat. This makes it easier to change the blade.
There is an adapter to be purchased, then a guide bar can be installed. Cutting angle is adjustable from 0 to 45 degrees. It is recommended to take boards no thicker than 5 cm. “fat” tools will pull, but will fail faster. However, for household use this is more than enough.
Features:
The saw cuts materials up to a depth of 63 millimeters. It has a powerful motor at 1600 watts. Rims with a standard diameter of 19 centimeters. You can adjust the angle of cut. There are locks to prevent accidental start and spindle. the tool shaft, so you can quickly change the blade. The cutting platform is made of an aluminum alloy. You can put a pad on it to work with the tire.
There is a nozzle for a vacuum cleaner. The circular saw has two handles. Tilt angle is adjustable from 0 to 45 degrees. Convenient levers are provided for this purpose. Those who bought the model write that the replacement of the native disc will help make the device perfect. They say it’s not bad, but the other fully tool will open with the sharpest counterparts.
Features:
Technique of the German manufacturer is always a little bit more expensive than competitors in its segment. But there are enough buyers. they pay for the quality. It has a relatively light weight, and the power and speed are comparable to a large tool. The cutting depth of cut in our rating of the best circular saws of 2022 is record-breaking 70 millimeters. But note that this is at a 90 degree angle. At 45 degrees the depth is reduced to 5 centimeters.
The case has a built-in fan that blows out the chips, but if it is not enough, it is possible to connect a vacuum cleaner. Handle is rubberized with a pleasant touch coating. There is a parallel stop included at once. The spindle is lockable, so you can change the disc quickly by yourself. If you put a circular saw for metal, then some sheet of aluminum it will not notice as well as a board. Buyers note that this model, unlike competitors, does not produce unnecessary noise. humming the engine and drive, nothing else.
Features:
If you do not feel sorry for the money, then look closely at this “American”. True, it is still assembled in China. The company makes professional tools, but this one is first of all for the use of amateurs. But the motor is powerful enough. It has two handles to hold the saw comfortably with both hands. Suitable for straight and bevel cuts. The maximum degree of inclination is 48. Angle is adjusted by special clamps on a scale with degrees. No additional tools are needed.
has its own blower system for removing debris. The circular saw already has a ruler with a stop to keep the blade straight. Some kits include a wood nail blade. Perfect if you’re planning to saw old parquet, for example. There are also variations with a case, but they are more expensive. The only thing is that this tool has non-standard discs. not 19 centimeters, but 184 millimeters. But frankly speaking, if you take it with a 16 millimeter hole, everything will fit.
Features:
A Russian manufacturer, but the tool is made in China. Very nice price for such power. Takes wood 6.5 centimeters thick. Gearbox is enclosed in a steel case for protection and good cooling. There is a nozzle for the vacuum cleaner, but the standard fan is in place. There is a big handy handle on the body. There is a thumbwheel, by setting in the right position which adjusts the angle of cut. Convenient that it is not divided into any sections, so you are free to choose the angle within a limited radius.
Design includes metal cover over the blade to protect the operator. Like all the best circular saws, the blade is made of steel. Shaft is lockable and you can change the blade yourself. But why, if everything is so great, we did not put this model somewhere higher in the ranking of the best? The fact is that this is still an amateur tool with all the resulting disadvantages. The saw tilts a little to the side in the process, and the cut is beveled. Not critical. up to one millimeter. Plus, the safety system isn’t very well-designed, in that it sometimes gets in the way of the operator.
Features:
Another budget model from China, although nominally the company is German. The blade of this model works well on wood and plastic. Cutting depths up to 64 millimeters at right angles. If you reduce the radius in half, it drops to 40 millimeters, which is also enough for domestic needs. The producer gives a five year warranty on the tool, so you don’t have to worry that it is a mass-produced item. The set includes spare carbon brushes and a simple parallel guide.
When buying it is worth considering that the dust it seriously, and the nozzle for a vacuum cleaner. So it is necessary to wear glasses, a mask, and it is better to work in the open air. The handles are rubberized, and all buttons are in place, for proper ergonomics. But, as always, there are some pitfalls with inexpensive equipment: during the sawing process the cutting angle slips down by a couple of degrees, the screws loosen every now and then from vibrations on the body. If you plan to take it somewhere in the shop where the tool will relentlessly saw for months at a time, there is a high probability that the body from the load will crack.
How to choose a hacksaw
Before you purchase this tool, familiarize yourself with it. You do not need to take the first encountered. How to choose a hacksaw told “Komsomolskaya Pravda” a handyman Timur Fedoseev. He pointed out the following points:
Purpose
The most important and logical point. What do you need a hacksaw for. metal, plastic, wood, drywall?? There are models on the market for everything. The manufacturer specifies first of all what the tool is intended for. Pay attention to this.
Blade
One of the most important technical characteristics in a hacksaw. It is the main working detail of the tool and therefore it should be in order. Look at the length of the blade. the longer it is, the larger the item will catch. But too long hacksaws can spring, they can be uncomfortable. That’s another thing to keep in mind. For drywall, a miniature blade is usually used. For plywood, some small boards or metal materials, an average of 25-35 cm will do. There is a rule. the length of the saw should be twice the diameter of the element to be cut. Also look at the steel of the blade. it must be of high quality. So, carbon steel is considered a good material. It is better to use hardened metal.
Teeth
Another important component. Blades with large teeth add speed to the work, but the cut will not be the neatest. Smaller ones on the contrary. the bevel is smoother, but you have to be more careful in your work. You can not go too fast. Specify what kind of sawing you need the teeth for. In the cases for longitudinal. they are like hooks. For cross. isosceles triangles. For mixed. triangular edges are combined with slightly elongated semicircular serrations. The teeth should be sharpened and separated; they should not bend. Big teeth are better suited for raw wood and other materials, small ones for laminate, chipboard, etc. The same drywall hacksaws usually have fine teeth. Pay close attention to tooth pitch. This indicates the number of teeth per inch of blade length. So, for a neat cut you need a pitch. from 7 to 11. If you need speed, 1 to 7. For the home, the best option is 5-6. You are better off with hardened toothing. it lasts longer.
Handle
The most important thing is that it is comfortable. Try the hacksaw in your hand before you buy it. As for the material, it is most often rubberized plastic. There are just plastic ones. they are less reliable. Also make sure blade and grip are secure. It must not bend or fall out.
Completion
Spare blade, carrying case, sharpener, anything else. All of these will not be superfluous. So, with a case or “holster” for a hacksaw you will be more comfortable to transport it, take it with you on a hike or somewhere else. A great option!Choose quality and durable tools. If in doubt, ask an expert!
Types of hand saws
Depending on the wood hacksaw blade, the saw comes in the following types:
The classic tool is a saw that can make longitudinal and transverse cuts. This handheld hacksaw is also called a regular hacksaw, or wide hacksaw. It is not designed for precision carving. It leaves behind a lot of chips and does not make a neat cut. The teeth are represented by a triangular shape, and the pitch is 1.5-6.5 mm.
Narrow or cupped saw. designed for accurate sawing. In most cases, the saw has teeth on both sides. With such a hacksaw you can make beautiful patterns, neatly cut various details out of the material.
A tenoning saw is needed for making accurate, beautiful cuts. The teeth are in the form of an isosceles triangle with a pitch of 1-1.5 mm. Saws are used for cross-cutting only. This tool can be used to cut beautiful parts out of wood.
Technical data
The technical characteristics of a hand saw include:
- type of hacksaw;
- What material is capable of cutting;
- weight;
- the length and material of the blade;
- the material from which the handle is made;
- size, shape and pitch of the teeth;
- what kind of sawing is intended for (longitudinal, transverse, mixed);
- whether the blade is foldable or not.
Thanks to all of these characteristics, the buyer can determine which tool is the best in terms of quality.
It is best to buy a hacksaw in person, t.к. when choosing, it is necessary to estimate the weight of the tool and the handle that should be comfortable in the hand. If the saw will be uncomfortable for any reason, you should not buy it, despite the fact that all the characteristics will be excellent.
Blade material
The best material the tool should be made of is steel. The saw blade can be of the following types:
- Mini hacksaw, length no more than 35 cm, has a large number of small teeth;
- Standard hacksaw, max 55 cm, teeth spaced at an average distance from each other;
- wide hacksaw, no more than 60 cm, teeth with increased pitch.
When choosing the size, you should be guided by the main purpose for which the hacksaw will be used.
It is also worth considering that there are saws with interchangeable blades. They cost more, but they are much more convenient to use in everyday life.
Rules of operation and maintenance
Only with proper use and timely care can the tool last for a long period. Among the features we note the following:
- It is recommended to work with the tool, taking into account the material for which it is intended.
- Do not work on materials with a high surface hardness.
- After each operation, the surface should be cleaned of shavings.
- It is recommended that the metal hacksaw be stored only under low humidity and normal temperature conditions.
At the time of cutting you need to apply a medium force, and make sure that the working part does not jam. Otherwise there is a chance of structural damage.
Some parts of the hacksaw will still lose their performance over time. If the tool is not used for its intended purpose it will not last for a long time.

Types of hand saw
For maximum results 40-50 saw strokes per minute. When it moves forward, there is pressure, when moving backward, there is no pressure. The pressure force is determined by the properties of the material being worked on. For example, the pressure force when working with soft metals must be much less than when cutting hard metal.
While working with a hand hacksaw, so that the tool blade does not hurt hands by cracking, it is necessary to avoid abrupt movements accompanied by great pressure. In addition to handheld hacksaws, electric. When operating such a hacksaw, it is necessary to wet the tool blade with water emulsion from time to time in order to avoid overheating.
Hand saws are divided into several varieties according to their purpose:
- transversal;
- archery;
- cupped (for cutting holes);
- Hacksaw classic (longitudinal or transverse cutting);
- Hacksaw spikes (for cutting of joint spikes).
Crosscut saws are designed for carpentry work and crosscutting. The saw’s teeth are serrated and resemble isosceles triangles. The angle at the tooth tips is almost always 42-45 degrees. Blades of the cutting blade itself can be 1,1 or 1,4 mm thick.
- made of hardwood,
- blades 785-800 mm long,
- bowstring, made of linen or twisted hemp cord, 3-4 mm thick.
They can be transversal and longitudinal. For beam and cross saws blade width is 22-25 mm, angle of sharpening is within 70-79 grades, distance between teeth is 4,5-5 mm. For the radial longitudinal saws the cutting blade is 50-55 mm wide and 0,5-0,7 mm thick, the distance between their teeth is 5 mm and the angle of sharpening is 45-50 degrees.
Circular saws are used for cutting material along a curved path. Cutting part of such saws is 500 mm long, 5-15 mm wide, the distance between its teeth reaches 5 mm and the degree of sharpening is 55-60. Their sharpening is usually straight.
When selecting a hand hacksaw it is not only the shape, but also the volume of the teeth that play a significant role.
- fine tooth. 2,0-2,5 mm (for cutting of small articles and high-precision sawing);
- medium tooth. 3.0-3.5 mm (for machining parts of medium size);
- coarse tooth. 4,0-6,0 mm (for tough cutting of logs and lumber).
there is also an international classification, which also classifies hacksaws, but not by the height of the teeth but by their number per 1 inch of cutting surface. This standard has also caught on with domestic manufacturers, so do not be surprised if the label of the tool will have foreign designations PPI or TRI. The number indicated behind these letters is the number of teeth per 1 inch in length. The higher the number, the finer the tooth (e.g., PPI 8 or TPI 14).
Modernized modern variants
Nowadays it is possible to meet the modernized type of hacksaws on the market. They can be readily distinguished by the intervals cut into the webbing. As a result the teeth are arranged in groups of 6 or 7.
These tools are designed for cutting wet wood. Gaps between the teeth are needed so that wet chips can be easily removed when working and do not clog the kerf.
In addition to the typical handheld hacksaws, modern users are provided with electrified versions of such tools. Powerful electric sabre saws can easily handle the impressive amount of work involved in cutting wood and other soft materials without tiring the craftsman too much.
Versatility of such electric saws is achieved by equipping them with saws of different tooth size, as well as with different width and length of the blade. It helps to work successfully not only with wood, but also with metal and plastic. The second name of this device is a sabre saw.
Electric sabre saw
The central parameter that defines the capabilities of electric hacksaws is their power. It can range from 400 to 1600 watts. Power directly affects the depth of cut, which in domestic models is from 90 mm, and in professional models. up to 200 mm.
The manual version of the metalworking tool is not as varied. There is only 1 type of handheld hacksaw that can cut this material. Its working body is a narrow or wide blade with hardened fine teeth. It is inserted into the beam holder and tensioned by means of a screw.
Disc Saws varieties
The idea to rename the reciprocating motion of the cutting blade as a circular motion can rightfully be considered revolutionary. It appeared after the emergence of the electric motor and has greatly increased productivity and speed of work.
Electric circular saws are divided into gearless and geared circular saws by design. The second variant has an electric motor that drives a gear reducer with a saw blade on its shaft. The first type is characterized by the blade being fixed directly on the rotor shaft of an electric motor. Each of these designs has a mechanism for adjusting the angle and depth of cut.
The advantageous feature of the geared mechanisms is the ability to make deeper cuts. Gearless saws have two advantages: they are affordable and lighter.
Another category of differences lies in the features of the saw blade. This element can be either passive or active. In this case it depends on the shape of the teeth. The teeth of the passive blade will be bent against the direction of rotation (negative sharpening angle). In the active one, the teeth are bent in the direction of rotation.
Passive drives are irreplaceable when cutting metal. Active ones are always very relevant for woodworking. Both can have tungsten carbide tips on the teeth. They allow cutting in tougher materials, but have an adverse impact on kerf cleanliness.
Working potential of the tool depends on the electric motor power, which varies from 0,65 to 2,5 kW. Manufacturers also often note the maximum depth of penetration, which can be done by means of a circular saw. As a rule, its ability to work through the material for 25-85 mm.
As one of the variants of such a power tool can be called a circular saw, which is mounted on a fixed bed. Such a solution makes it possible to cut wide and long material with a very high precision.
Certain manufacturers make a great offer. circular saws that can be inverted and fixed on the table, thus turning into a stationary “circular saw”.
Trimming saws
Covering the question, what in general there are saws, it is impossible not to call and face sawing devices. In the case of working with them, the circular saw is mounted on a pendulum arm. A rotary plate with angular (protractor) markings is used as the base.
The positive aspects of the sliding compound mitre saw over its circular counterpart are obvious: the operator can make perfectly accurate cross cuts, at any angle. This operation is particularly important when joining a variety of wooden parts:
Chainsaw varieties
In many wood applications, it is not the accuracy and cleanliness of the cut that is decisive, but rather the depth of cut. Actually, this is the task and solves the chain saw, which is a powerful device with a gasoline or electric motor, designed for cutting firewood and felling wood.
The sliding compound mitre saw has two basic and interrelated technical features:
The bar is called 2 flat plates connected to each other while maintaining a small gap to mount the saw chain. At one end it has a driven sprocket, and on the other side there are cutouts for fastening the tensioning mechanism.
Power of electric chain saws can be 1,5-4 kW. Choosing a device for household chores at a home site, it will be preferable to stop at the power of 1.5-2 kW and the length of the saw bar is 30-40 cm. It will be quite enough not only for regular pruning of gardens, but also for seasonal cutting of firewood.
If necessary, such a tool can effortlessly dissolve a board, beam or log, although the accuracy of the cut and too high quality of work in general will not get.
As you can see, there are a lot of different types of saws. The choice of wood hacksaw should be carried out on request for a particular type of work:
- The size hacksaw is excellent for longitudinal sawing;
- The crosscut variety does a great job with wood if you run it across the grain;
- Spiked. ideal for cutting studs, grooves and technological dents in products;
- Culver saw. for making holes of different shapes and depths
Variety and purpose of the teeth
Longitudinal cutting is usually done either with a circular saw (circular saw blades), or with a jigsaw. But there are also handheld hacksaws for this purpose. As in the case of electric counterparts, the teeth on the saw resemble hooks. The angle between them is 40-55 degrees.
Hooked shape allows you to make a cut in one direction only. It is preferable to cut along the grain. Then the hacksaw easily penetrates through the wood and the cut is as smooth and accurate as possible. The choice of such a hacksaw is appropriate only for those who have a desire to make their own furniture. Since it is not suitable for any other purpose.
The tooth for cross-cutting is the most common. It looks like an isosceles triangle. The angle between the teeth is 40-50 degrees. This design allows the saw to cut equally well whether the cutting edge moves forward or backward. The result is a cross-cutting cut that is as precise, fast and effortless as possible. When buying a hacksaw, it is important to bear in mind that this type of tooth is only suitable for dry workpieces. Fresh wood will tear the saw, which damages the sharpening.
Triangular tines with a parallel sharpening are used for fresh branches. This means that each tooth is sharpened in a staggered pattern and only on one side. It results in a free channel between the teeth inside the cut, allowing wet sawdust to escape freely from the cut without hindering the saw’s advance.
Another option is the combined composition of the teeth. It combines triangular and semi-circular blades. In doing so, semicircular, elongated teeth are longer than triangular ones. When the hand moves forward, the narrow, long teeth guide the cut, and when the hand returns to its original position, the triangular tooth expands the cutting channel and expels sawdust and shavings from it.
It should be remembered that the smaller the angle between the semicircular and triangular teeth, the more accurate the cut will be.
Hacksaws for universal cutting is better not to buy, they are usually equipped with different combinations of teeth, which, in theory, should do equally well for any task. But in practice such saws blunt much faster, and their sharpening often costs more than a new hacksaw.
And most importantly, in any quality hacksaw, the teeth are always made of hardened metal.
Varieties of handheld wood saws
There are several types of hacksaws, among them:
The wood hacksaw with the lowest price is a narrow hand saw. Such a variant is suitable for working in the garden, filing of branches and small works with wooden workpieces. Usually use either parallel sharpened teeth or triangular double-sided teeth.
It is important to understand that it is possible to work with such a saw only with workpieces, the thickness of which does not exceed 8-10 cm. A blade that is too short does not allow you to create leverage, therefore, sawing thicker parts will require a lot of physical effort.
Hacksaws are made with any type of blade. The choice depends entirely on the purpose for which you plan to buy the tool. Note only that it is highly undesirable to work with such sabre saws when making furniture. Or you should buy a special chair, to be able to cut at a certain angle.
Handheld sabre saws with a shank are used as an additional tool. Their main task is not to make deep cuts in the workpiece.
Jigsaws are the counterpart to the electric jigsaw. They allow you to make the most accurate cut and work with any workpiece at any angle. The highlighting:
Saws with a circular saw make it possible to make longitudinal cuts. On the market, there are blades from 40 to 80 cm in length. Longer workpieces can only be cut with an electric tool.
Cross-cutting saws are designed for sawing workpieces across the wood fiber. They make cuts at right angles as well as at any other angle. This produces perfectly straight edges at the point of cut.
Circular saws are narrower and used for shape sawing. Use them to make curves and other complex details. Use of particularly flexible metal grades is a hallmark.
Circular saw blades make it possible to make simple geometric shapes on the workpiece.
The peculiarity of archer saws is that the mechanism for fixing is made or bought once, and the saws themselves are not sharpened, but are purchased new (as for hacksaws on metal).
Blade types
As the archer saw is mainly used when working with wooden products, the following blades for the archer saw for wood are distinguished:
- Blade with single teeth spaced at equal distance from each other. Such saws are used for even, accurate cutting of material;
- The cutting part, which has twin teeth (or also called the “Kremlin” tooth). This tooth position is designed for a more precise and accurate cut. If the pitch of the teeth is not too frequent, the cutting of the material will be qualitative and accurate, there will be few chips;
- saw blade with teeth arranged in two rows at a fixed distance. The purpose of such teeth is to work with thick material that is difficult to cut.
Material, from which the cutting blade is made, is high quality steel. It should preferably be hardened, t.к. This ensures a long service life and good, fast cutting in all kinds of materials.
Also worth paying attention to the teeth on the cutting part of the saw. They are represented by the following types:
- For dry and hard wood, the tool has an isosceles triangular blade that gives a clean cut;
- For dry wood, the saw blade is designed with teeth in the shape of a polygonal triangle;
- For raw wood, the alternation of teeth in the form of an isosceles triangle, multilateral, as well as the presence of double teeth, so that the cutting was carried out much faster.
