Circular, Miter, Track, Recip, and Stationary Saws
Pick a saw by the cut you make most. Circular saws and track saws break down lumber and sheet goods. Miter and table saws handle repeat crosscuts and rips. Recip saws cut demolition and rough-in work. Top sellers range from the Makita 36V LXT X2 rear handle circular saw and Festool Kapex KS 120 to the Milwaukee M18 FUEL plunge track saw and DeWALT Atomic one-handed reciprocating saw.

Circular and Track Saws
Circular saws include sidewinder, rear handle, and worm drive style models like the DeWALT FlexVolt DCS577. Track saws such as the Festool TS 55, Makita SP6000J1, and Milwaukee 2831 plunge into sheet goods along a guide rail for clean, straight edges.
Miter and Table Saws
Miter saws make square, angled, and compound crosscuts for trim and framing, from the Festool Kapex to jobsite sliders. Table saws rip boards to width, from the DeWALT DWE7491RS to the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 8-1/4" saw.
Reciprocating Saws
Recip saws cut through nailed lumber, pipe, and old work. Choose full-size models like the Milwaukee Super Sawzall, one-handed saws like the Hackzall and DeWALT Atomic DCS369, or the compact M12 FUEL hacksaw for overhead plumbing.
Jigsaws and Scroll Saws
Jigsaws cut curves and cutouts in wood, laminate, and metal. Barrel grip models like the Festool Carvex PS 420 and Milwaukee 2737B put your hand close to the cut, while D-handle saws suit one-hand work. For fine curves at a bench, see scroll saws.
Band Saws
Band saws run a continuous blade for resawing, curves, and metal cutting. Choose stationary woodworking band saws for the shop or portable band saws for cutting pipe, conduit, and strut on site.
Cut-Off, Tile, and Metal Saws
Power cutters slice concrete, block, and steel with abrasive or diamond wheels. Tile saws make wet cuts in tile and stone, and metalworking saws and chop saws handle steel stock.

Saws FAQ
Track saw or circular saw?
A circular saw is faster to set up and handles framing and rough cuts. A track saw rides a guide rail and plunges into the material, so it gives a cleaner, straighter edge on plywood, doors, and countertops.
Should I buy a cordless saw?
For most site work, yes. Cordless circular, recip, and jig saws on platforms like Milwaukee M18 FUEL, DeWALT 20V MAX XR, and Makita LXT handle framing, trim, and demo. See cordless saws. Keep a corded saw for long rips in thick stock.
Which saw should I buy first?
A circular saw is the most useful first saw. It handles framing, sheet goods, and rough cuts. Add a jigsaw for curves, then a miter saw or track saw once you do trim, cabinets, or furniture.
