There are various types of circular saw available on the market today. Generally, these saws are classified on the basis of their circular blades. This type of saw has metal disc having saw teeth and blade spinning around which helps to make accurate cuts.
Following are the different types of circular saws available on the market:
3 Circular Saw
1. Miter saw: This one is especially used to make small cuts at different angles. With this say, circular blades come down on a wooden piece placed at an angle. You can use miter saw if you want to do molding around your house, to make picture frames and for all other cuts which require special attention.
2. Radial saw: This one has sliding arm placed horizontally which allows users to move through wood cuts. Normally, radial saw is used for making long cuts accurate. As you keep wood on the table and press the handle of the saw, it will cut along the board along same line.
3. Table saw: These also have circular blades and offer more accuracy than other saws. The table saw has a table which stabilizes them for making accurate cuts. Generally, contractors use them for performing large jobs. Some of the table saws are bench-top table saw, cabinet and contractors saw.
4. Panel saw: This is used for cutting wooden, aluminum, metal and plastic sheets in sized portions.

Skil HD5510 6.5 Amp 5-1/2-Inch Circular Saw Overview
We’d wager that about 95 percent of the instances you use a circular saw, this little dynamo would be your saw of choice. Stacked up next to the 7-1/4-inch saws, some of which weigh twice as much as this one, it sacrifices nothing in power or performance, but it’s so much easier to use that the bigger boys in your toolbox would be gathering some dust.It’s an amazingly light 6-1/2 pounds, and quite honestly, it feels like a toy when you first pick it up. But don’t be fooled by its petite dimensions. It plows across a 2-by-8 like nobody’s business, and if you’re used to a bigger, heavier circular saw, you can’t help but be delighted by how beautifully it handles. Taking it through a ¾-inch sheet is a joyride.
The left-side blade is perfect for right-handers, offering a nice clear sightline, and all the adjustments are convenient and easy to use. The bevel lever is up front, and the action is smooth and easy to set precisely. Depth of cut adjusts from the back, and that, too, is done easily.
If there are any caveats, we think it would be only that your capacity is slightly less with this little Skil as opposed to a bigger model, in that you can’t cut a 45-degree bevel on 2-by stock with this, and you’re at your max depth of cut at 90 degrees on a 2-by.
For everything else, this is an absolute beauty of a saw that will never tax your back, your shoulder or your arm. Contractors who find themselves climbing ladders or working on scaffolds will especially love this saw, as well as homeowners who don’t feel confident taking on a beefy saw but still want to get the job done. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste
