Start your saw selection with the type of cut, as it determines the saw you’ll get the most out of.

Long, straight cuts in sheet or profiles:

Choose a circular saw.

• SC 6ML‑22 for fast, accurate metal ripping

• SC 4MR‑22 for compact control during fabrication

High-volume, repeatable sizing:

Choose a band saw.

• SB 4‑22 for consistent, spark‑less cutting of pipe and rod

Accurate angled cuts:

Choose a miter saw.

• SM 60‑22 for consistent angle accuracy

Curves, shapes and tight spaces:

Choose a jigsaw.

• SJD 6‑A22 / SJT 6‑A22 for precision detailing

Demolition and mixed materials:

Choose a reciprocating saw.

• SR range for fast tear‑out through metal and mixed materials

Thick metal sections:

Choose a band saw or reciprocating saw.

• SB 4‑22 for controlled cutting

• SR range for more aggressive cuts

Match the saw to your material for the best performance and cutting efficiency.

Thin sheet:


Choose a circular saw or jigsaw for faster cutting and more control.

Thick sheet or plate:


Choose a band saw or reciprocating saw for more power and control.

Pipe or conduit:

Choose a band saw for cleaner cutting without sparks.

Threaded rod:

Choose a band saw for more precise, repeatable cuts.

Profiles (angle, channel, strut):

Choose a circular saw or reciprocating saw for versatility.

Mixed materials:

Choose a reciprocating saw for faster cutting across different materials.

Select your saw based on how clean and precise the result needs to be.

High accuracy (precision metalwork):

Choose a jigsaw or miter saw.

Medium accuracy (general fabrication):

Choose a circular saw.

Lower accuracy (demolition, rough work):

Choose a reciprocating saw.

If you’re making the same cut again and again, a band saw is the most efficient choice. It’s designed for repeatability, helping you maintain consistent results with minimal effort.

For regular use across different cutting tasks, a circular saw offers the best balance. It’s versatile, fast to handle and ideal for moving between cuts without slowing down.

If you’re only making occasional or one-off cuts, flexibility matters more. A jigsaw gives you control without committing to a dedicated high-volume setup.
