Circular saws

Accurate cuts through solid wood or sheet material – a portable circular saw will allow you to master woodworking with ease and precision. The powerful motors mean that making swift progress while maintaining absolute precision is a piece of cake. The portable circular saw is ideal for undertaking work on boards, square timber, roofing boards and other workpieces. Just install the cordless battery and attach the extractor to the integrated extractor connector. That is all that is required for safe and dust-free work at all cutting depths. The professional portable circular saw has been developed for manual operation and, when used in the system with an extractor and guide rail, provides maximum simplicity in day-to-day work.
