Sawing & Cutting

Sawing and cutting are fundamental processes in construction, woodworking, and many DIY projects, involving tools designed to precisely and efficiently divide materials like wood, metal, plastic, and more. 

These tasks utilise a variety of saws and cutting tools, each tailored to specific materials and types of cuts. Hand saws, such as crosscut and rip saws, are ideal for cutting wood manually, offering control and precision for detailed work. Power saws like circular saws, jigsaws, and mitre saws provide speed and accuracy for larger or more complex cuts. For cutting metal or other hard materials, hacksaws and angle grinders are commonly used. Additionally, utility knives and box cutters offer precision for smaller, detailed cuts in softer materials like drywall or cardboard. Mastery of sawing and cutting tools is essential for achieving clean, accurate results, making them indispensable in both professional and home settings.
