Makita HS0600/2 240V 270mm Circular Saw

Product Information

This will depend on what you’re planning to cut and how you’ll be using the circular saw. Larger blades will cut more deeply, but they can also be unwieldy. Not all blades will fit on all saws, but you can swap between blades depending on what you’re cutting. Now, explore the cutting depth variations associated with different sizes to understand how deep a circular saw can cut. 5 ½ Inch Saw If you’re working in a confined space, a mini circular saw can be indispensable and Einhell’s TC-CS is a great example. At just 2kg, it’s light and, with a handle roughly the same size as a grinder, it’s easy to hold. Both the RTS12 and the RTS23 have 10″ (254mm) blades. They can cut a maximum of 2-½” (63.5mm) deep at a 45-degree angle and 3” (76.2mm) at a 90-degree cut angle. The compact RTS08 has a smaller blade size of 8-¼” (209.55mm) and comes with maximum cut depths of 1-⅝” (41.275mm)and 2-⅕” (55.88mm) for 45-degree and 90-degree cut angles, respectively. Does a Larger Blade Always Mean More Cut Depth? We’ve tested the three main types of saws here – corded, cordless, and a mini circular saw – covering all-round useability, the accessories included, the noise when the saw is spinning freely and during a cut, and, of course, its ability to cut wood.

As the name implies, the blade itself is in the shape of a circle with the teeth jutting outward. The top of the blade is covered with a blade guard to protect against dust and debris from flying away from the material. A shoe or footplate is set around halfway down the blade and will rest on the material itself. This allows for the cuts to be made. Adjusting the Depth of the Cut With the blade to the right of the handle, it’s a little easier for right-handers, but, thanks to the well-positioned two-way release switch, left-handers will have little problem using it.inch circular saw can achieve a cut depth of 3 ½ inches at a 90-degree angle. When adjusted to a 45-degree angle, the saw can cut to a depth of 2 5/8 inches. Most circular saws offer the ability to set the cutting depth and the angle of a bevel by adjusting the saw’s angle relative to its baseplate guide. The depth of a cut will vary according to the angle – most saws will be able to cut more deeply when positioned at 90 degrees to the material, while angled cuts won’t be quite as deep.

If there is a blade then it will be easy to find the exact size. However sometimes that has worn off. That makes it slightly harder to figure out. Conversely, a lower bevel capacity limits the angle of the cut but increases the cutting depth. Understanding and adjusting the bevel capacity is crucial for achieving accurate and consistent cuts at different angles while considering the impact on cutting depth. 4. Theoretical Depth Calculation Of course, the blades in each of these options (and any other table saw, for that matter) are adjustable to accommodate cuts on the other end of the depth spectrum. With most table saws, you can cut as shallow as a fraction of an inch.Wilmar: Ridgid Part # R4512 – Ridgid 13 Amp 10 In. Professional Cast Iron Table Saw – Tile & Table Saws – Home Depot Pro

This is arguably the most common size for circular saw blades. The 7 ¼″ is large enough to handle most jobs while being small enough to be portable and lightweight. A blade’s geometry, such as the shape and angle of the teeth, affects how efficiently it can penetrate through different materials. Blades with larger gullets and more aggressive tooth profiles tend to have a greater cutting depth. Also worth mentioning is that the rising mechanism of the blade affects the cutting depth of a saw. However, chances are you won’t notice this with your saw because most manufacturers design their saws. The effect of the rising mechanism on the cutting depth is negligible, if any. If your saw isn’t cutting as deep as it should, it has more to do with accumulated dust and other particles than the blade’s rising mechanism.
