/diy/ - Do It Yourself

This is a really dumb thread. Each saw has its strengths and weaknesses.

You CAN, for example, rip 3/8th off a 2" wide board with a circular saw, but it's much simpler, much easier, much faster, and much safer to do it on a tablesaw.

You CAN, for another, crosscut 300 pieces to an exact length, at an exact angle, with your circular saw - but it's must simpler, faster, easier and safer with a properly set up miter saw.

OTOH, I'm not hauling either of them up 5 flights of stairs for a small job where they'll only get used three times, just to haul them back down 2 days later.

"circular saw" (in america anyways) means portable handheld (pic related). Not tablesaws or mitersaws, or tile saws, or whatever else, even though they also have round blades.
