A cordless Circular Saw is ideal for cutting large pieces of wood, whether in straight lines or gentle curves. However, for more detailed and precise bends on smaller surfaces, the Batavia Jigsaw is a better fit for your DIY projects. A hand-held Circular Saw allows you to cut surfaces quickly with high precision, making it perfect for larger, straightforward tasks.
Before using the Circular Saw, it's important to draw a line on your surface to guide your cut and ensure accuracy. Next, adjust the saw blade settings, including the cutting depth and, if needed, the mitre angle—up to 45° with the Batavia Circular Saw. Once the tool is properly set up, align the saw blade with your marked line. After starting the saw, move it into the material, following the line. To keep the line visible while cutting, especially as sawdust accumulates, the Batavia Circular Saw features a dust extraction system. Attach a sawdust extractor to maintain a clear view of your cutting path.
The simplest way to ensure straight cuts with a Circular Saw is by using a parallel guide. A parallel guide acts as a track, allowing the Circular Saw to follow your cutting line without veering off course. By mounting the saw on the guide and positioning it over the cutting line, the saw moves only in a straight direction. Since precise straight cuts are essential, the Batavia Circular Saw comes standard with a parallel guide for convenience and accuracy.
