Purpose of circular saws for wood
Circular saws for wood are specialized tools for quickly and efficiently creating large-diameter holes.
Materials in which saws can drill and cut holes:
- wood;
- plywood;
- chipboard;
- MDF;
- laminate;
- drywall.
Hole saws for wood are consumables for power tools such as drills, hammer drills, and screwdrivers. The saws are used as attachments in the form of a metal cup with teeth around the edge that cut a hole in a circle.
Explain the advantages of using them:
- speed of work;
- accuracy and cleanliness of the cut;
- less strain on the tool;
- ability to work with different types of wood;
- long service life;
- effective removal of sawdust.
Circular saws for wood are critically important household items for both professional craftsmen and home use.
Main types and configurations of wood crowns
Wood crowns are classified by material, design, and purpose.
Here is a list of popular types and their purposes:
- Steel wood drill bits (HCS) – a common and affordable option, suitable for most materials except metal;
- Bimetal drill bits (Bi-Metal) – versatile and durable, can work on all materials, including metal;
- Carbide/HM core bits – have teeth with carbide tips, suitable for difficult materials;
- individual wood core bits – for making holes of a specific diameter in wood and wood-based materials;
- wood drill bit set – a universal set of several attachments of different sizes for universal use;
- wood ring saws (professional) – with reinforced teeth for long-term use.
When buying wood ring saws, it is important to pay attention to the following parameters: diameter, number of teeth, material (carbon or high-speed steel), shank type.
The diameter of the crown determines the size of the future hole. What are the typical diameters:
- 19-32 mm (small);
- 38-68 mm (medium);
- 76-127 mm and larger up to 152 mm (large).
The more teeth there are, the neater and cleaner the cut will be. If there are few teeth, but they are large, the power tool will cut through the wood faster.
The main material options for ring saws are:
- HCS (high carbon steel);
- bimetal (steel body + HSS teeth);
- carbide.
The type of attachment (shank) determines whether the crown will fit the tool. For example, a cylindrical standard shank is suitable for most drills, while an SDS-plus shank is suitable for professional non-impact hammer drills.

| 100 mm wood ring saw blade | 100 mm | High-strength steel | Installation work |
| Universal core bit | 45 mm | HSS | Installation work |
| Professional core bit set | 22–152 mm | Bimetal | Intensive work |
| Large ring saw | 127 mm | Bimetal | Large diameter holes |
| Furniture hole saw | 35 mm | Carbide | Hinges, fittings |
| Hole saw | 80 mm | High-strength steel | Ventilation installation |
How to choose the right hole saw for wood?
The right choice of a hole saw for wood determines its efficiency and compatibility.
What to consider before buying a hole saw for wood:
- type of wood (soft, hard, laminated);
- diameter and height of the hole saw;
- frequency of use (domestic or professional work);
- compatibility with the tool;
- steel quality;
- sharpening, number and shape of teeth.
Buying a set of wood saw blades is much more convenient and economical than purchasing individual tools. In addition, sets often include a holder and a centering drill bit.
Tips for beginners on the proper use of this consumable for power tools:
- to avoid overheating – if the disc starts to “burn” the wood, replace it with a model with fewer teeth;
- for a cleaner cut – use thin discs;
- to avoid overloading the tool, use thin 1.5–2 mm discs whenever possible;
- to fix the crown correctly, hold the tool strictly perpendicular and securely fix the wood with clamps or in a vice;
- to ensure the hole is accurate, start drilling at low speed;
- To avoid chipping and jamming, once the center drill has passed through, turn the part over and finish drilling from the other side, or place a wooden block underneath.
For safety, wear safety glasses, gloves, and protective clothing, hold the tool with both hands, and do not touch moving parts.
High-quality bimetal material is critical for safe and effective operation. It ensures less tool wear and resistance to stress.
