Main features of installation structures

What area a particular model is intended for is determined by the weight of the device. If the weight of the device is up to 15 kg, then such a product can be used in the home and semi-professional sphere, since it is easy to move from site to site. During the construction of large objects, devices whose weight ranges from 15 to 30 kg are most often used. Often a separate workplace is allocated for the use of such a design. Working with devices over 50 kg is possible only in large enterprises, where the employee is required to maintain maximum accuracy.

The second feature is the kinematic scheme. Products can work not only with direct drive, but also with belt drive. For the average user, the first option is the most familiar, since it is used in all inexpensive devices. In factories, it is impossible to imagine machines without belt drives, since they provide excellent protection when the load on the disk increases. If the circle is stuck, the belt will only turn, which will keep the motor in working condition and safely turn off the device. In addition, some products support multiple disks on a single machine, which is made possible by the presence of stepped pulleys.

Saws are divided according to the diameter of the mounting hole, which is present in various cutting wheels. One of the most popular types is a disc with a 25.4 mm hole. If you buy a device with an unusual diameter, it will be more difficult for a person to find a suitable element, which will create discomfort in work.

Special abilities

Each manufacturer tries to somehow highlight its device, so the products sold often have a number of professional differences. However, there are only three main features that will be very useful when working with such material.

First, a person should pay attention to the design of the table where the cutting operation takes place. The reliability and quality of the cut depends on its durability. Also a nice bonus will be a guide rail with a rotating mechanism and the presence of quick fixation without the use of auxiliary elements that are present in standard models. The latter is useful for those who often perform corner trims.

Another feature that will be an additional advantage is the presence of electronic engine control. This makes it possible to increase the service life of the device and significantly reduce the load on the electrical network, which is especially useful for private workshops. Another nice feature is the presence of an electronic stabilizer, which will provide the user with normal speed under any load.

Another important additional element is the lever-turn hinge. For greater convenience, it should be placed on special bearings and also have a self-return mechanism. If the product is frequently transported, the presence of such an element will allow you to quickly lock the product in a specific position, which will have a good effect on durability. Cheap options do not have this function; a standard chain is used to move them.

Dewalt D28715

The excellent Dewalt D28715 installation tool boasts a heavy-duty workbench mount. Another significant advantage is the large diameter of the cutting tool and high torque. Thanks to these characteristics, the saw can cut metal structures with a thickness of over 130 mm. A special comfortable handle is built into the body, providing continuous control during the working process. The saw comes with an Allen key. A protective cover that blocks abrasive waste, a start-up safety device and the dedication of the young brush are responsible for safe use. Replacement of equipment can be done without auxiliary tools, and the air cooling system ensures long service life of internal components.

This device can be used both as a stationary machine and as a portable tool. Ideal for straight cuts and angled cuts of various structures.

Tool Features

Some users classify circular saws as a highly specialized tool, and argue that they are rarely found in household possessions. Most often, such a device is used in large enterprises or workshops, where a special stationary device is installed. However, this opinion is wrong, since most people use the device at home. There are several different classes of this device; there are compact models, as well as those designed to work with large products.

When a person performs important assembly work, it is necessary to remember to strictly adhere to the dimensions of the element. If this is not observed, then there is a high probability that the item will not be able to connect properly, which is why all the work will have to be repeated again, and this will affect monetary costs. By purchasing a mounting saw, a person eliminates such an event; in addition, such a device is capable of cutting metal parts at different angles.

An angle grinder will not be able to do this, especially if it is in the hands of an inexperienced user who has rarely used it. Therefore, in order to achieve maximum accuracy, professionals recommend using mounting products that can cope with any such operation and guarantee the best result.

In addition to cutting metal objects, the device is able to cope with other materials that are used in construction: wood, plastic, chipboard, MDF, etc. Even if a person needs to cut a thin metal sheet, the device will cope with this task 100% and guarantees quality.

Cutting saws are also popular because they are able to work with a large number of parts, while maintaining all the exact parameters and quality of the cut. Even on the hundredth metal element, the device will ensure the absence of scuffs and other irregularities. If a person buys a simple tool for a home workshop, then its efficiency will be many times greater than an angle grinder and similar equipment, which is a big plus.

Ryobi ECO2335HG

The high-precision and convenient Ryobi ECO2335HG machine is designed for cutting and sawing work. It can easily handle the processing of metal corners, profiles, pipes and workpieces with large and small diameters. The saw is equipped with a quick-clamping rotary vice, with which you can cut structures at any angle (0-45 degrees) and in any direction. The impressive diameter of the cutting element provides an expanded range of operations. The lower part of the tool is complemented by a rubberized handle, making it easier for the operator to control the work process. Also on the body of the device there is a LiveTool indicator light, indicating the status of the tool (on/off). Rubber feet, which firmly secure the unit, are responsible for safety and stability.

The main purpose of the saw is considered to be cutting almost all types of metal workpieces using an abrasive disc or cutting element equipped with a carbide coating. Suitable for both household and industrial work.

Mounting saw on a construction site: application and selection basics

Professional teams carry out construction processes quickly and efficiently, thanks to the presence of special tools in their arsenal. Large volumes and industrial scales require convenient models equipped with numerous functions. These include assembly cutting saws. What they have and what their application is is described below.

Cut-off assembly saws - essence and application

The tool is a unit with a cutting disc designed for cutting any type of raw material - metal, wood, ceramics, PVC and many others. It is in great demand when pouring foundations and cutting reinforcing bars, making paving slabs, and fitting clinker bricks.

Suitable for professional work, since in everyday life there is no need to cut anything in large quantities. It also requires skills in handling, because careless or inept actions can lead to injury.

The cutting saw for metal is used mainly on construction sites when cutting bundles of reinforcement or stacks of wood - there the diameter of the cutting wheel is not comparable to a household one. For home needs, compact models are provided, equipped with all kinds of protections and limiters for safe use. A special feature is the frame, which fixes the smooth movement of the disc and the closed body, which reliably holds the blades in extreme situations.

How to choose a saw for household use

Sometimes you can’t do without the qualifications of a master. But consultants in shopping malls in the construction sector often try to praise a product at a high price, deliberately not talking about what is affordable, with a smaller set of functions that are not in demand in everyday life. What to look for when purchasing on your own:

Cutting depth. For home work, 60-70 mm will be enough. The professional range is extended to several hundred millimeters. Everything is purely individual - the support channel can be 120 mm, and the beam 200.
Control automation. If a home-grown builder decides to cut a metal channel after PVC pipes, then the load on the saw will naturally increase, which will affect the speed. The electronic system will not allow them to fall, which means the quality will be high.
Smooth start. Will protect the structure and home network from voltage surges and breakdowns due to short circuits. Not all units are equipped with this function, and therefore, in its absence, you will have to make a separate connection to the house or turn off the power to all devices working inside.
Overload control. It will not allow the tool to burn out due to the loss of time by the owner himself - the belt drive will slip and there will be less wear on the saw.
Selecting a cutting disc. There are two types – cutting and sawing. The second option has an advantage over the first, due to the victorious coverage.

Temperature effects on the material are excluded, which makes such elements a favorite among craftsmen.
The price is appropriate. The choice of model and set of functions depends on the task at hand - perhaps the amount of household work is not so large as to purchase an expensive unit at a time. Grinders and electric jigsaws are designed to combat repair problems.

Brief overview of popular cut-off saws for household use

Among professional craftsmen there are preferences for this type of tool. They are based not only on personal beliefs, but also on the characteristics of a particular model. So:

Portable assembly saw 2414 nb. Cost from 11 thousand rubles. Its features are: low weight - 16 kg, dimensions not exceeding 600 mm, wide range of angles - 15-45⁰, a set of protective measures - limited start-up, insulation of the case and cord, wide protective casing.
Vertical assembly saw Makita 2414 nb. Can connect to a regular home network. It is equipped with a locking system that does not allow the machine to be turned on when pressed involuntarily, and has a fixed shaft.

Thanks to the movement of the cutting unit, the tool makes a 90⁰ vertical cut. An important advantage is the protection of the worker from sparks by a transparent screen. From 36 thousand rubles.

The Dewalt mounting saw is in slightly less demand. It lacks several functions, which does not make the unit worse than those described. In particular, the weight of the machine is greater than that of other models - 20 kg, however, the dimensions are smaller - up to 500 mm.

The tool does not have a smooth release, which does not guarantee protection against voltage surges, so work should be carried out on a separate input to avoid short circuits. For example, in the garage, and not in the local area. Price – 12500 rubles.

You can select and buy a mounting saw for metal at your nearest hardware store, however, sales offices operating under the appropriate brand will serve as an additional guarantee of quality.

Buying a tool in an online store - pros and cons

Residents of small towns are deprived of the opportunity to choose due to the lack of trading floors with a wide range of goods presented. Online stores come to the rescue, where making a purchase is as easy as shelling pears. The advantages are obvious:

You can view all the offers from well-known manufacturers without wasting your free time on shopping.
The choice is really huge in terms of cost. You can choose a unit to suit any budget.
The products contain detailed instructions and descriptions. Perhaps, when purchasing it on your own, the future owner will miss some details.
Possibility of communicating with a consultant via Skype or email.

Still, there are disadvantages:

Many buyers believe that it is impossible to buy mounting saws without visual inspection and tactile sensations. This is partly true, but the handle of the described unit is almost the same everywhere, so the question disappears.
Long delivery. If you time your purchase to coincide with the working season, which is usually summer, then you need to order it in winter. Then you will have a chance to quickly exchange a model that doesn’t suit you or that you don’t like.

However, the defects described are rare and the possibility of exchange or return is always available.
A metal mounting saw purchased for home use will make the work safer, unlike a grinder or grinder. The latter option is not suitable for cutting large sections of reinforcement or thick-walled iron, unlike models specially designed for such purposes.

By neglecting the rules of personal safety - in particular, by using a tool for other purposes - a home craftsman risks injury or even risk to his own life. If the purchase is not rational for your purposes, then you can always rent tools from construction companies or teams.

How to choose and what to pay attention to?

When choosing a mounting saw, it is important to consider a number of parameters:

cutting depth - for home use, a depth of up to 7 cm is sufficient, for professional models the figure is up to 20 cm;
control automation - this system ensures high accuracy and quality of processing, and also does not allow a decrease in the speed of rotation of the disk;
soft start - almost all modern devices are equipped with this option; its presence guarantees protection against power surges;
overload control - the presence of this element prevents overheating of equipment under high loads;
type of disc - the accuracy of the cut depends on its material and size.

Equipment selection criteria

What to look for before buying a circular saw? The following are characteristics that deserve the user's attention:

Power. The parameter is largely influenced by the size of the saw blade. The larger the diameter, the higher the power and the more productive the tool. For household purposes, a network device with a power of up to 800 W and a price no more than 8 thousand rubles is suitable. (for example, Skil 5330 LA or Sturm! CS 5060 MS), for regular professional work - from 1500 W (Kolner KCS 190/1900T for 5000 rubles).
Possibility of adjusting the intensity of revolutions. A tool with this function will accurately cut metal of any thickness, since the rotation speed of the disk can be increased or decreased. Example - Bosch GKS 55 GCE for 20-22 tr.
Depth of cut. Models with an indicator of up to 50 mm will cost 5-12 thousand rubles. (Makita HS 201 DWAE), from 50 to 100 mm - depending on the manufacturer (Evolution Rage-230 with a cutting depth of 84 mm for 32,000, Interskol DP 190/1600 M - from 6 thousand rubles), over 100 mm - at higher prices (for example, Makita 5143 R, 130 mm, for 45-50 tr., Messer CS 320 with the same figure - 52-54 tr.).

Makita circular saw

Stationary models are much more expensive than manual ones, although it cannot be said that they are more multifunctional. However, for small household work, there is no point in buying a bulky stand with a saw at a price of 50 thousand rubles, when you can get by with a manual analogue for 5-7 thousand. Finding good equipment at a good price is easy if you follow the recommendations above. The variety of circular circular saws allows you to find a tool for any wallet. The considered equipment for cutting metal is much more efficient than grinders, so it makes sense to overpay a little and never worry about possible damage to the workpiece.
