A circular saw, one of the most essential hand held power tool using an electric motor, is known for its ability to cut wood. The more powerful, the faster it will cut through wood. But, when using on stone; it needs a great deal of friction, and it is up to the operator to determine how much friction the blade will handle.
Using the right blade for the right job would greatly affect your results and the performance of the circular saw. Different types of blades will create more or less friction depending on what they are cutting. Some of the well known masonry blades are as:
- Diamond Blades, one of the most popular masonry blades. It cuts through solid stone, ceramic tiles and stone tiles, as well as brick and even flagstone. It is also designed to self-sharpen.
- Chopsaw and Grinding Wheel Blades, shaped like a disc and reinforced for added life, this is mainly used in miter saws and circular saws to chop tile and short sections of stone. For granite, brick or concrete this is a professional choice. The grinding wheel is designed in much the same way with a continuous, round, disc-like shape. This abrasive is strong enough to cut through stone.
- Segmented Blades. In general there are two types of circular saw masonry blade shapes. The continuous blade, a single disc and the segmented blade having a serrated edge divided into large segments. Used to remove grout or brick mortars these circular saw blades are in a class by themselves. They use either a diamond tip or abrasive metal cutting surface.
