A cut-off saw is a power tool designed for making straight cuts in various materials, such as wood, metal, or concrete. It typically features a circular blade that rotates at high speeds, allowing for precise and efficient cutting. Cut-off saws are commonly used in construction, metalworking, and woodworking applications. These saws come in different types, including miter saws and chop saws, each suited for specific cutting tasks. Safety features, such as blade guards and electric brakes, are essential to prevent accidents during operation. Proper maintenance and the use of appropriate blades enhance the performance and longevity of cut-off saws.
