Circular saw – This handheld rotary saw featuring a circular blade is one of the most common power tools in use today. Larger the diameter of the blade, deeper is the cut they offer. This tool can also be fitted with different blades for operation on different materials. With the appropriate blade, circular saws can be used for cutting wood, steel, masonry, and ceramic tile. Circular saw sizes are usually classified based on the diameter of their blades that range from 3" to 16".
