Chop Saw

A chop saw is a power tool that used to make straight cuts in wood. It may have features that allow it to cut angles, which makes it a miter saw. A chop saw is similar in appearance to a circular saw. Most woodworkers or cabinetmakers use chop saws to make precise square cuts as they are working.Chop saws can be used for cutting lumber, moulding, decking, aluminum and other non-ferrous metals, provided the width and depth cooperate with the size restrictions of the saw. Material too wide for your chop saw can be cut with a circular saw.
