How about SawStop Technology? Don't you think that is great material for wikipedia? http://www.sawstop.com/ -- 90.141.10.106 ( talk) 14:51, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
If a saw is classified as "Blade-Left" or "Blade-Right", then which hand is that saw for?
I recall hearing that the circular saw was invented by the Shakers. Anybody?
The shakers claim the first circular saw in the saw mill:
http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bltools.htm In 1777, Samuel Miller invented the circular saw in England, the round metal disk type of saw that cuts by spinning and is used hand-held or table-mounted. Large circular saws are found in saw mills and are used to produce lumber. In 1813, Shaker-Sister, Tabitha Babbitt (1784-1854) invented the first circular saw used in a saw mill. Babbitt was working in the spinning house at the Harvard Shaker community in Massachusetts, when she decided to invent an improvement to the two-man pit saws that were being used for lumber production. Tabitha Babbitt is also credited with inventing an improved version of cut nails, a new method of making false teeth, and an improved spinning wheel head.

Is it okay to use a branded picture? This is almost like an endorsement. I realize it is informational but is there no other way?-- Tbeatty 08:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there possible controversy over the materials and technology of a circular saw? Sweavo 11:11, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
This page appears to be the remains of a sawmill page that got reheaded. the legacy of lots of info about wood seems to bear this out, after all circular saws are used to cut stone, metal, semi-precious gems there are even even medical applications. also one of the basic observations is missing, how to differentiate between types of blade; by tpi or teeth per centimeter, the difference between cross cut and rip blades (being the size of the 'throat' or hollow before the cutting edge), what about the set of the saw? tungsten teeth or pressed? expansion slots - the ability to set depth and angle. the existence of a movable fence. bench saws and hand saws, diamond saws. and then you could get technical, what temper for the teeth and variations for different materials, speed and torque for different materials, legislation regarding safety, guards guides and how to use a saw, push sticks. the list is a long one - hence the reason that I haven't bothered to spend any time writing the page - life is tooo short and wikipedia not really for me. 81.102.245.243 ( talk) 22:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
"Skill saw" redirects here, but there isn't actually any information about them on this page. The "Types of Circular Saw" section says "In addition to hand-held circular saws (see below)..." but that seems to be a red-herring.
It seems like if Miter Saws, Table Saws, Radial Arm Saws, etc. get their own pages, "Skill saw" (or whatever term is most appropriate) deserves one too, but at the very least there should be some info on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JPrice ( talk • contribs) 13:31, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
The caption with the first photo is "A hand-held circular saw is the most conventional circular saw", but isn't a sawmill the most conventional circular saw? The circular saw being a substantial advancement or improvement to the basic 'saw with a circular blade', - which is a sawmill. Wilke339 ( talk) 21:49, 25 March 2018 (UTC) wilke339, 3/25/18.
