JIGSAW VS. CIRCULAR SAW...Which One Should You Own?! (FULL COMPARISON---New DIYers Should Watch!!)
New DIYers always want to know which saw they should own...CIRCULAR SAW or JIGSAW? This a surprisingly complex question. This video from The Honest Carpenter will explain the pertinent details for newcomers!
CIRCULAR SAWS utilize a backward spinning circular blade to make linear cuts.
JIGSAWS use a plunging skinny blade to make cuts in more freeform patterns.
Circular saws are a really indispensable tool for carpenters and those cutting wood in the construction industry because it cuts thick lumber much faster and is better at holding a straight line while doing so.
Jigsaws are more helpful to woodworkers and people making craft-type projects because they can cut curves and irregular profiles in a variety of materials.
Both circular saws and jigsaws can cut through metal, plastic, wood, composites and cement-fiber materials, so long as they're using the right blade.
Jigsaws actually have more cut depth, because they can utilize blades over 4" long. Whereas circular saws tend to have a max cut depth of 2-1/2".
Both tools are pretty comparably priced, even though there are more jigsaws below $90 overall.
While circular saws are stronger and sometimes more intimidating for newcomers to operate--jigsaws are surprisingly dangerous as well because they don't have blade guards!
If you're using saws infrequently, or making curved profile cuts a lot, then a jigsaw is your best bet.
However, if you're doing a lot straight-line cutting through thicker materials on construction-type projects, then a circular saw is the saw you need. But always be careful and practice all safety precautions!!
Thanks for watching!

I can't speak for everyone but I'd need both. You'd need the circular saw to cut through heavy boards & make long cuts, & if you need to make a precision or shaped cut you'd need the Jigsaw. 👷🏿‍♂️

@TheHonestCarpenter Год назад

Yep, you definitely reach a point where it just pays to have both. This is a tough call for extremely new DIYers though!

@chrisnorton2837 Год назад

I've used a jig saw (or sabre saw) to cut non wood materials my whole life. Indispensable tool, and much faster than a hack saw. But for wood, the circular saw is just so darned handy. So I agree, get both.

@juliblued Год назад

@@TheHonestCarpenter yep, especially if you can't immediately get both.

@danharold3087 Год назад

@@chrisnorton2837 The portaband saws are great for metal. I started machining a few years ago. Have 2 wood cutting and 2 metal cutting saws. The right tool for the job.

@oneeyedphotographer Год назад

@@danharold3087 I think the choice between "best" and "good enough" depends on how much cutting you might do. The circular saw I bought nearly 50 years ago hasn't yet seen enough use to justify the greater expense of "best," "good enough," perhaps with a better blade, would have done everything I have needed.

@user-em6ie2be7x Год назад

Yeah I'll admit when I used my Circular Saw for the first time it scared me, but after I started using it more & more it became indispensable & one of my most valuable tools. 👷🏿‍♂️

@rightlanehog3151 Год назад

Being scared of a circular saw is a healthy and appropriate reaction. That initial fear should encourage respect for the power of the tool as well as respect for the safe use of the tool.

@dhyosaga3218 Год назад

Agree, for the first time i used it, like using a monster, but now it be my favourite tool :)

@TheWorld-of7dd Год назад

@tektondiy Год назад

Same! We use it all the time on our new build!

@blackwater7183 Год назад

@@rightlanehog3151 I agree with that. Anything dangerous that can seriously injure you or kill should be approached with a bit of fear. If you watch youtube woodworkers who severed their fingers they have the same mistake, they got careless because they got too comfortable with the tool.

@worstuserever Год назад

For me, buying a jigsaw first came simply from the fact that my initial wood-related DIY tasks were infrequent and small scale, such as cutting across a narrow batten or a hole into a counter. The first project for which I needed more substantial power tools was floorboard repairs, where the accurate depth control of a circular saw made it possible to lift out old tongue & groove boards without damaging joists or wiring. It could also cut down large sheets, and although I borrowed a mitre saw the circular could obviously handle chopping to length too. However, the jigsaw came in handy for nibbling away ends in difficult locations, like up to and even under dividing walls, notching around obstructions like pipes, and many times the square cutting face of a jigsaw blade was desirable over the curved travel of a circular saw. Bottom line, even though one probably gets used more, both are essential for most woodworkers.

@TheHonestCarpenter Год назад

All good points, Khakoo! Getting into that complexity of work, you're definitely going to need a combination of both, as well as possibly a multitool and recip saw. 👍

@AlanTheBeast100 Месяц назад

You need both. That said my first was a jigsaw because the project I needed to do needed a jigsaw. I couldn't afford both in those days, so whatever long straight cuts I had to do I did with the jigsaw. Including an 8 foot plywood rip... I clamped a level in place to use as a guide - wasn't too bad - except I had to move the 2 foot level every 20 inches or so.

I bought this mitre saw in June 2014, and I remodeled my basement with it. It it sturdy and it works great ru-vid.comUgkxKL3MYO42eA2JbKxs7_Q0tmRGZI4Ow4Ar . There's not a lot of extra play in the adjustments and it is definitely well built. It is lighter than higher-end sliding double bevel models, so I can move it myself, which is nice. When I had to cut 2x10 lumber, I had to flip the boards over and cut twice; but since most of my cutting was on smaller dimension lumber, the weight reduction and significantly lower price seemed to be a better trade off for the boards I did have to flip. Late in the project, I was able to borrow a DW718, and the sliding feature does make fast work of 2x10s, but it is a tank, and I stand by my choice of the DW715. I also added a laser guide (one of the arbor replacement style sold on Amazon), which is nice to have, but definitely not needed.

Well done video. I've got both as well as a chop and table saw, but I progressed through the years. Thanks for pointing out the danger of the jig saws. I've watched too many people do exactly what you warned about. From the beginning, I always waited for it to stop before pull out, because I was afraid of it. Just like with a gun, I stop and picture what I'm going to do before I start. Positioning, where is my body, recoil and hand positions go through my mind. "Do I have an escape?" is also important.

@MyPronounsISwhom Год назад

In the last year or so I've been doing a lot of d i y projects and very strongly in the last few months I've been getting into woodworking as a personal hobby. One of my projects was building a shed and being 32 years old and never using any kind of motorized saw, I was fearful to use the circular saw on a particular part of the build. I put it off for so long LOL! I didn't want my inexperience to cost me a digit or favorite shirt or just overall having a bloody experience or something, but once I used it after reading the manual and looking up several videos including yours I fell in love with the circular saw. I now have my own and have a very powerful one I can use that belongs to my pops but man do I love circular saws. Another jigsaw I have zero experience with so this is a cool video for me. Also, congrats on the books! Cool points brother.

@kmh997 Год назад

Crafter turned craftswoman, here. I appreciate this video because I thought I NEEDED a circular saw. I have a circular saw, I've become unafraid of it, with ear plugs it's much less stressful to use, and I've completed projects, as well as started a business I probably would never have attempted if I hadn't bought one. And. I'm glad to know these fundamental differences because in the past, I had used my jigsaw for cuts which I thought were meant to be done with a circular saw, so I thought I was "doing it wrong", which I equate with being unsafe. I'm glad to be wrong about that. I'm interested in trying a bevel with the jig saw, I am a big fan of the bevel, but haven't bought a miter (yet, and possibly won't) - I didn't notice that the jigsaw could bevel, and funnily enough I was initially compelled to get the circular saw because it could bevel. I guess there are different routes to gain experience and education! I appreciate learning the versatility of my tools. I got a jigsaw about 35 years ago when my grandfather's scroll saw broke down and my dad didn't repair it right away. I was purely a hobby crafter, so I used it only for pattern wood cutouts. When my father passed away and I suddenly had access to all his tools all the time, my projects immediately increased in scale. Now I make & sell pretty garden obelisks & trellis, and various other decorative garden structures, and contract out to build custom pergolas - as my job!! I built myself a spacious workshop, chicken coop(s), built-in cabinets and buffets. Instead of replacing my ancient homemade plywood kitchen cabinets with prebuilt products, I used the plywood as a framework for totally tricked out kitchen cabinets! I changed lower cabinets to slide outs, etc. I made all my outdoor furniture and some very fine indoor pieces which get compliments from everyone who crosses my threshold, which I also made. I've come a long way from decorative birdhouses made from balsa! I never stop learning! Thanks for the videos, you're one of the best content providers! ✌️

Dunno' why but circular saws never bothered me and it's one of the first tools I bought for woodworking. Jigsaws on the other hand, yeef! I have a really nice one but I simply hate using it. While not "generally" a pro carpenter, I've built my fair share of projects and worked on job sites for many a summer when I was younger.

@markomarten 4 месяца назад

Sometimes you need to ask yourself what are you trying to cut? For cutting stuff like pallets a circular saw will easily cut through them easily. I was told the bigger the wood the bigger the teeth to cut it. In practice a jigsaw will give you a neat cut and you can use a reverse cut blade for something like making a template to fit a kitchen sink, the top part is visible and so the reverse function means the action provides a neat edge or finish. I personally would suggest a brand like Bosch, they do a few ranges and the professional stuff is good going. Dewalt and others make a few ranges these can get expensive. I would recommend a sturdy workbench like a Black & Decker workmate, that will allow you to cut and work on stuff without it moving. A circular saw is never going to be able to give intricate cuts or detailing because the blade is so big and it’s a totally different action. If you only ever cut straight pieces of wood a circular saw would probably be sufficient but for bigger stuff a bigger blade is needed and that’s where a jigsaw can be useful. You can buy blades for a jigsaw that are around 12 inches and thats handy for some stuff like fence posts or something really dense. Circular saws don’t have a reciprocal action or option so can be a bit of a one trick pony. A jigsaw can be slowed down a bit or used at a greater rate. The blades are important as they will have an impact on your result. One very important thing to remember is safety first, always ensure you secure what you’re intending to cut. A pair of goggles might not be trendy but can save stuff getting in your eyes, you only get one pair of eyes so look after them. Some models come with dust extraction which can be useful as it were. In short I would say decide what you are going for and don’t forget the safety. Go for the best tools you can realistically afford and treat them with care and you should do fine.

Hey Daniel, the books look awesome, congrats.. I'll be picking your books up ASAP. Also, the saw conversation, to saw or not to saw? Lol. Anyhow I have a Milwaukee M18 6-1/2" circular saw. And I more recently picked up the rear handle or worm drive Milwaukee M18 fuel 7-1/4" circular saw. I also have the Milwaukee M18 fuel D-handle jigsaw. However I use my circular saws a lot more than my jigsaw. My opinion, if you are a diy-er or a carpenter, or a woodworker. I would recommend following his advice in this video. But I would also recommend once you purchase your first saw. Whichever, will help you out more so with the projects your doing. I'd still plan on picking up the other saw. Because they are both very useful in their own ways. As he explains in the video..

I’m a stay at home mom wanting to do some home improvement projects like replacing broken trim, adding wood to walls for a “textured” look, making shelves and planter boxes to hang on the walls, and I really wanna make my dog a nice little house so he can go outside more. My main goal first is to saw off about a foot from my sons metal framed loft bed. It’s like really thin metal that’s hallow, so I need a saw that can use different blades for different material for plastic projects I wanna do as well. I was apprehensive about jigsaws because it seems so hard to control. I used a big one my dad has to cut tree limbs and it was get stuck and shake/vibrate me SO FAST AND VIGOROUSLY that it scared the shiitake out of me and felt so dangerous cause it was just out in the open. I won’t be cutting through hard wood like that for my little woodworking projects so I hope a jigsaw will do the trick! As long as I get one that has that guard thing to keep the saw stable. Thank you so much! I watched a few other videos on this and have been scouring the web but your video explained it so much better and actually helped me!

For the past 30 years, I've just had a jigsaw on my bench. It was always frustrating, when cutting any thick wood. The blade would end up not staying straight up and down. I'd end up with the edge being not good and square (unintentional bevel). Well, we are in the middle of redoing our kitchen. I had to invest in a circular saw. Your videos have been awesome in guiding me through this. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I really wanted to buy a M18 circular saw to go along with my other tools. I bought a cheaper plug in jigsaw instead. I won't use the jig very much at all. It is the best decision I felt. Thank you for the excellent video.

Hey,.. one of the best pieces of advice for tools. I was really wondering and confused of usage and type of usage that Iam into and I was looking for one that makes my projects easier, I completely agree how intimidated the circular saw is, For the very first time I used the circular saw and just with very first start and the noise level and the power from circular saw made me to think that Iam hurt myself and return home with one finger or one hand missing from my garage. The amount power circular saw emmits make the first time user faint and think am I handling it wrong, but still I saw able to manage with my strength, it woudlnt have gone easier without any injuries if a lean person or focusless person, the power of backdraw from circular saw while in the motion feels like whole arm is coming apart from the body,.. but still, as said in the video, it's for the faster cuts and plenty of cuts, make a best tool after a few cuts. But for me, I mostly do simply projects like cages and tables, Im convinced that jigsaw is all i wanted after watching the video. For any art, patience is the key, so jigsaw does the works slow and steady for not only beginners but also for occasional woodwork.

I do remodels and home repairs for a living (so small to medium size projects) and I use my 6-1/2” cordless circular saw for 95% of lumber cuts. It’s awesome!! Sometimes you need a jigsaw, and very occasionally I need a full-size circular saw (but rare, as I don’t do much framing and my small one can handle a few cuts here and there in 2x materials, and if I have more to do I use a miter saw). Anyway just wanted to mention those are an option and way more maneuverable. I’d say for a DIYer it’s perfect! Edit: just contributing to this discussion, not saying it’s a replacement for a table saw, etc if you need that.

Great video Ethan, I like both my jigsaw and my circular saw, different tools for different jobs. Congrats on the new books, they look great. I may purchase some of them for my kids whom we are trying to get off devices and into books, and your books look like they might do the trick.

Thank you, Sorted! I know, so many distractions these days. I definitely try to write books that I think kids can really enjoy. If they end up reading the books, I hope they like them!! 😄

I had a near mistake with the jigsaw yesterday because of the points you make with them. I "carelessly" picked it up to move it out of the way and accidentally pressed the trigger without having the lock switch engaged. I would never have done that with my circular saw. Excellent video, as usual.

Glad it wasn't bad, Elmo! That's what's crazy about jigsaws--they typically do their damage when you're least expecting it 😓
