Selecting the right type of tool can make or break your DIY project. Power saws are one of the most important tools in any builder’s arsenal. Each saw has a different method and purpose and is designed for specific tasks.
Power saws are motor driven tools that cut through materials. They can have toothed blades, a disk or even bands. They are used for cutting wood, metal or plastic. Their precision and efficiency are far more than a standard manual saw. They come in various sizes, from handheld to large power saws, and are used in all projects.
