Table saw: the best options for 2020

The best 10 inch table saw blade saws are an indispensable power tool in any workshop. They are used to cut, polish wood and any type of soft material such as plastic or metal sheets made of aluminum or brass. These saws offer a wide range of models with options to cover all the needs of professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Table circular saws are saw models for typical professional use. Indeed, they must be stable and installed on a flat surface. Circular saws, or saber saws, allow more manual work to be carried out. In this article, we will explain everything you need to know about the circular table saws to help you choose the best one for you.

In short

• Circular table saws are generally the first tool found in any carpentry shop. We could even say that it is the basic tool of any carpenter.
• In the case of circular table saws, the cutting disc remains fixed and it is the material that slides towards it, thus facilitating the work of the operator, unlike manual circular saws, where the user positions the saw on the material to be cut.
• Circular table saws are tools used to perform specialized work and are perfectly suited for professional work. They will allow you to make very precise cuts, miter and even at an angle, something impossible to do with other tools.

Choosing a circular saw blade comes down to identifying:

• the materials to be cut (wood, composite materials, non-ferrous metals, plastic) determines the tooth plate or pellet ;
• the type of tooth (relative to the material cut and the type of cut desired) and the pitch, the more the pitch is spaced, the more the flow is preferred;
• the bore in millimeters (mm), ie the diameter of the hole in the center of the blade (can be reduced with reduction rings);
• the thickness of the blade in mm;
• the necessary cutting depth is indicated by the diameter of the blade itself, which is a function of the circular saw;
• the material of the blade (its body) and the pellets of the teeth (depending on cut materials, see The materials of saw blades and pellets);
• the number of teeth (the higher the number of teeth, the better the finish), represented by the letter Z;
• the number of revolutions/minute allowed (rpm / rpm), relative to the diameter of the blade (to be checked with the performance of the circular saw).

Note that the notches are provided so that the metal can expand under heat. Certain logos and abbreviations may be specific to a brand/manufacturer.

5 points not to miss when choosing your circular saw blade

1. Check the specifications of your machine. Once the diameter and bore of your machine in your pocket, it remains to choose a blade suitable for your use.
2. If saws logs and miter saws require special blades, you must choose your blade to a  circular portable saw according to your use, a compromise is needed between timeliness and quality of the finish.
3. The use for which the blade is intended is often specified by the manufacturer, which makes it easy to synthesize the pitch of the blade and the type of teeth.
4. The universal blades are a good compromise between speed and finish if you do not use your circular saw intensively.
5. We sometimes get lost with logos and abbreviations, to choose well, consider the manufacturer’s recommendations, the material of the teeth pastilles and their type.
