If you are new to woodworking, it may be difficult to make a clear distinction between power tools. Each of them has a different purpose, so it is crucial to understand what are they used for. Let\u2019s try and answer the question you got stuck in your head \u2013 what are the differences between\u00a0a circular\u00a0saw and track saw?<\/p>\n
Circular saw is one of the most commonly used tools when it comes to long and straight cuts (rip cuts). A track saw is like a circular saw but has a ‘track’ that can be attached to what you are cutting and guides the cut making it very precise. If you often cut sheet goods, a track saw is considered as a better and also an easier option.<\/b><\/p>\n
