A plywood saw is used to cut large sheets of plywood into smaller components for building. It can reduce chipping and splintering, and most have a fine-toothed blade. Types include circular saws, table saws, and vertical panel saws.
A plywood saw is a device used to cut a sheet of plywood, a type of wood made up of multiple layers of veneer glued together using glue. Because plywood is usually made in large sheets, it often has to be sawn into smaller components before it can be used to build things like floors, walls, roofs, and boxes. When cut, plywood is susceptible to chipping and splintering around the edges. Using a plywood saw can help reduce these deficiencies, allowing for a smooth final product.
Most plywood saws have a fine-toothed blade designed to minimize tearing or chipping when cutting a piece of plywood. Generally, a plywood saw blade is about 11 inches long (about 28 centimeters) and contains about 14 teeth per inch (or per 2.54 cm). A plywood saw can be designed so that when you make a cut, it moves across the sheet of plywood. Alternatively, the saw may be structured such that the plywood sheet is moved across the saw blade as the cut is made.
A plywood circular saw is a hand-held tool that can be used to cut plywood. Typically, it has a plywood circular saw blade, which is a metal disc that contains the teeth used to cut wood. Additionally, the saw includes a machine that allows the disc to rotate. Using a hand circular saw requires a carpenter to have proper mounting fixtures in place so that cuts can be made in straight lines. Many models of circular saws are portable and can be less expensive than other types of saws.
Another commonly used type of plywood saw is the table saw. A plywood table saw works by mounting a piece of plywood to the surface of the saw table. A circular saw blade, typically powered by an electric motor, then cuts the plywood. This method can be tricky when working with large pieces of plywood, which can weigh between 70 and 100 pounds (about 32 to 45 kilograms). As a result, a carpenter typically needs other support mechanisms, such as extension tables, before cutting.
Plywood can also be cut using a vertical plywood panel saw. These saws generally contain a framing device that holds the plywood in place. A driven circular saw is then moved across the plywood to make the cut. When used on plywood, they can work especially well for making rough cuts. However, making straight-line cuts can be more difficult because the cutting blade is suspended over the plywood, rather than being slid across it.
