These 150mm circular saws are medium sized saws which means they are useful tools for general purpose work.
Depending on the circular saw and blade, these 150mm machines can be used for cutting into wood, laminates or aluminium.
When purchasing a circular saw check the depth that the saw can cut, to ensure that the tool is adequate for the work that you require.
- The subsequent criteria needed for choosing a circular saw is the diameter of the blade to determine the depth of cut. The more popular diameters tend to be 190mm & 235mm. Circular saws with this 150mm diameter blade are at the smaller end of the diameter blade range.
- Choosing the right battery: Cordless (or battery powered) tools have a variety of chemical battery types; Li-ion is the latest technology, prior to that it was Ni-MH and Ni-Cad was the original. The higher the Ah (Ampere hours) the longer the interval between charges; the fewer times you recharge a battery the longer it will last. Some cordless tools can also come without batteries - sometimes referred to as naked, bare units or body only. These tools are supplied without a battery or charger and more often than not without any accessories; as a result they are significantly cheaper in price.
