Circular Saw

Used for fast straight cuts in wood or other materials. Upper blade guard is fixed; lower guard is spring-loaded and retracts as the saw cuts into the work. Baseplate rests on the stock and can be angled up to 45°. Use combination blades for rip, miter and crosscuts, use plywood/paneling blades for sheet goods. Recommended size: 18 cm (71/4 in.).
