Frequently asked questions

General

Saw type

The type of saw determines the primary use of the tool. Circular saws are versatile for fast straight cuts, miter saws are ideal for precise angular cuts, and jig saws are perfect for curved and irregular cuts.

Dimension

Size determines maneuverability. A compact saw is easier to use in small spaces. A large saw may be more stable for large areas.

Weight

Weight affects comfort. A light saw is easier to handle and causes less fatigue. A heavy saw may provide more stability.

Technical specifications

Bevel range (left)

The bevel range indicates the maximum angle the blade can be tilted to the left. A larger bevel range allows greater flexibility for precise and varied bevel cuts.

Blade diameter

Blade diameter affects the depth and width of the cut. A large diameter blade allows for deeper cuts and is suitable for heavier work. A small diameter blade is ideal for fine, detailed cuts.

Bore diameter

The bore diameter is the opening in the center of the blade where it attaches to the saw. It must match the size of the saw shaft to ensure secure and stable blade attachment.

No-load speed

No-load speed is the speed at which the blade rotates when the saw is not in contact with the material. Higher speeds allow for faster, more efficient cuts, but can also generate more heat and wear.

Max. cutting depth at 90°

The maximum depth of cut at 90° is the depth the blade can reach when cutting straight. Deeper cutting depths allow thicker materials to be cut in a single pass.

Max. cutting depth at 45°

The maximum cutting depth at 45° is the depth the blade can reach when making a bevel cut. This determines the saw’s ability to make angular cuts in thick materials.

Power supply and operation

Power supply

A corded saw provides continuous power. A cordless saw offers greater mobility, but is battery dependent.

Power cord

Cord length affects mobility. A long cord allows you to work away from the power outlet without the need for an extension cord.

Power

Power determines capacity. More power means faster, more efficient cutting, especially in hard materials.

Electrical voltage

The voltage must be compatible with your power supply. Correct voltage will ensure proper operation without risk of damage.

Variable speed

Variable speed allows you to adjust the speed to match the material. This provides greater control and accuracy.

Sound specifications

Sound power level

Noise level affects comfort. A low level is preferable for prolonged use.

Sound pressure level

The sound pressure level is the perceived noise. Less noise makes it more comfortable to use.

Noise uncertainty (K factor)

The noise uncertainty measures the accuracy of the indicated sound level. A low uncertainty means a more reliable measurement.

Vibration specifications

Vibration level, metal - wood cutting

Vibration levels affect comfort and safety. Less vibration reduces fatigue and the risk of musculoskeletal disorders.

Vibration k-factor, metal - wood cutting

The vibration k-factor indicates the uncertainty of the vibration level measurement. A lower value indicates a more accurate measurement.
