  1. Circular Saws Level 1 Diploma

  2. Aims and objectives • Explain the uses of a circular saw • Label the main components of a circular saw • Evaluate the benefits of using a circular saw

  3. What is a Circular Saw ? The circular saw is a metal disc or blade with saw teeth on the edge as well as the machine that causes the disk to spin. It is a tool for cutting wood or other materials and may be hand-held, table-mounted or mounted on a movable arm.

  4. Types of blade • As with hand saws, circular saws also have different types of blade designed to do different jobs.

  5. Cross Cut Blade CROSSCUT BLADES.—  Crosscut blades have fine teeth that cut smoothly across the grain of both hardwood and softwood. These blades can be used for plywood, MDF, and hardboard.

  6. Rip Blade RIP  BLADES.—  Rip blades have bigger teeth than combination blades, and should be used only to cut with the grain. A rip fence or guide will help you make an accurate cut with this type of blade.

  7. Combination Cross Cut and Rip Blade COMBINATION   CROSSCUT   AND   RIPBLADES.—   Combination   blades   are   all-purpose blades  for  cutting  thick  and  thin  hardwoods  and softwoods,  both  with  or  across  the  grain.  They  can also  be  used  to  cut  plywood  and  hardboard.

  8. The main body of the saw blade is made from steel. HSS is sometimes used for circular saw blades but TCT is more common. With a TCT saw blade, the small tips of TCT are brazed on to the body. A TCT tip might hold an edge 20 times longer than a HSS tip.

  9. There are many different types of circular saw that the carpenter or joiner will use during their career

  10. Compound Mitre Saw Industry Term : Chop Saw

  11. Portable Electric Circular Saw Industry Term : Skil Saw

  12. Radial Arm Saw Industry Term : Cross Cut

  13. Table Saw Industry Term : Rip Saw

  14. Panel Saw Industry Term : Dimension Saw

  15. Panel Saw Industry Term :Wall Saw

  16. KICKBACK This diagram shows what happens with kick back when using a portable saw.

  17. Kickback happens when the blade catches the work piece and violently throws it back to the front of the saw, towards the operator. It can be thrown very hard and can injure the operator. It is not uncommon for the object to have high enough velocity to become embedded in a wall! Kick back is also an issue when using table saws

  18. A riving knife can help prevent kick back BUT IT WILL NOT STOP IT FROM HAPPENING!!!
