Corded circular saws are used to make cross, rip, and beveled cuts in wood and metal stock, such as when framing and cutting metal panels. Corded saws plug into an outlet to provide more consistent power output and longer run times than cordless tools. Metal-cutting saws have a lower RPM and higher torque than general purpose circular saws and are used for metal fabrication and autobody work. General purpose saws are most often used for cutting wood, but can be used for cutting other materials depending on the blade used for cutting.
