What Is a Circular Sawing Machinery?
Circular sawing machinery is a type of machinery that cuts wood into straight lines by rotating a circular saw at high speed. Also called table circular saw, table saw, or hand-pushed circular sawing machinery, this machine cuts wood by moving the wood toward the circular saw fixed on the bench. Circular sawing machinery that slides the circular sawing machine back and forth is also available and is called a sliding circular saw.
Many models are equipped with an adjustable guide for moving the material on the table, making it relatively easy to cut to the correct size compared to hand-held circular saws.
Uses of Circular Sawing Machinery
Circular sawing machinery is mainly used for cutting wood, but it can also cut plastic, metal, brick, and siding by changing the saw blade. The guides on the stand and the saw blade’s exit allowance can be finely adjusted and fixed, making it suitable for repeatedly cutting materials to the same size or for cutting at an angle. Small circular sawing machinery is relatively easy to transport, while larger machines are more difficult to move, so they are more suited for use in the workshop than transport to the job site.
Principles of Circular Sawing Machinery
Circular sawing machinery with a saw blade protruding from the stand has an on/off switch on the main body and a dial and screw to adjust the saw blade. Many models have legs at the bottom of the body. Some models have an auxiliary stand for cutting long materials in addition to the upper stand on which the material is placed. A separate stand can be prepared and added for use if the standard stand is insufficient.
A guide is attached to the table on which the material is moved, and the position of the guide can be adjusted and fixed. Since the position of the guide can be fixed, it is suitable for cutting at the exact dimension and for work that requires repeatedly cutting at the same size. Circular sawing machinery (slide circular saw) with a saw blade that moves up and down is equipped with an axis that moves the saw body up and down and a slide axis that slides back and forth. Thin materials are cut only vertically with the slide fixed. By changing the angle of the saw, sloping cutting can be easily performed, which is useful when joining boards. The direction and range of inclination vary from model to model, but most models can tilt from 0 to 45°.
