Portable saws

Which saw should you choose depending on the cut?

To size panels and wood, the circular saw makes straight cuts. The plunge saw can also start a cut inside a panel.

The jigsaw follows curved lines. The mitre saw makes repeated angled cuts easier on skirting boards, battens and frame elements.

The reciprocating saw is suitable for dismantling and rough cuts. WoodPartners also offers saws for timber framing and insulation materials.

Which applications in woodworking and on the jobsite?

In fitting-out, the plunge saw guided on a rail is suitable for sizing panels and for precise straight cuts. Controlling tear-out remains important on coated panels.

For batch cutting, stable support and suitable stops promote repeatability. In timber framing, the timber cross-section and the required cutting depth guide the choice of machine.

Difficult access sometimes requires another machine. The blade suited to the material remains essential, especially for wood-based panels or insulation materials.

Which criteria should you compare for a professional saw?

First compare the type of saw and the usable cutting depth depending on the thickness and geometry of the parts. On WoodPartners, filters by saw type, blade diameter, power and company make selection easier.

Check the tilt, rail guidance and dust extraction options. For coated panels, a suitable blade and, depending on the machine, a scorer (small blade that pre-cuts the coating) can reduce tear-out.

Compare corded and cordless machines depending on the travel expected. The footprint and safety devices must also suit the workstation.
