Makita 5800Nb – Circular Saw 180MM

• An abrasive saw, also known as a circular saw (a type of power tool) commonly used for cutting hard materials, such as metal, tile, and concrete. The cutting action is performed by an abrasive disc, similar to a fine grinding wheel. Technically, it is not a saw as it does not use normally shaped edges (teeth) for cutting.
• These saws are available in several configurations, including desktop, hand-held, and walk-behind models. In desktop models, which are commonly used for cutting tiles and metal, the cutting wheel and motor are mounted on a handwheel that is attached to a fixed base plate.
• Table saws are typically electrically powered and often have a built-in work clamp or other clamping device. The freestanding design is commonly used for cutting concrete, asphalt, and pipes on construction sites. They are designed with the handle and motor close to the operator, with the saw blade at the end of the saw. Freehand saws have no vice as the material to be cut is larger and heavier.
• Walk-behind models, sometimes referred to as flat saws, are larger saws that use a rack or cart to cut concrete floors as well as asphalt and concrete paving materials.
