Saws

Chainsaws are a handy tool to have around, but many of them are too cumbersome for those who just need them for smaller household tasks like cutting down saplings or trimming smaller limbs. That’s why we set out to find the best small chainsaw around and we think that we did an admirable job.

Through a full day of testing, we put ten different small chainsaws through the paces to make sure that their real-world application fit with what was advertised. There really is something here for everyone, so let’s dive right in with our favorite and then we’ll get into the why’s and how’s of our curated selection.

When it comes to clean cuts, not many people think of a circular saw. They have a reputation for tearing up boards pretty good, even when used properly. With a simple accessory, we found that you can get table saw clean cuts when you’re using a circular saw provided you have the best circular saw guide rail for your needs.

We took the time to figure out which were recommended, test them out, and figure out which of them we felt deserved a spot on our list. If you’re in a hurry, however, you can’t go wrong with our favorite.

So, you’ve got a great miter saw but you’re tired of having to wear knee pads every time you want to make a cut in the field. There’s really only one answer to that question which is to snatch up the best miter saw stand you can find, bolt that puppy down, and get going.

The real question is which one is the best for your usage. That’s where we come in, read on and we’ll discuss the ins and outs of miter saw stand selection and just how you can make sure that you find the perfect fit for you and your saw.

So, you’ve got trees but you’re not a lumberjack? Maybe it’s time to find the best budget chainsaw you can so that you can keep on moving forward without having to break the bank. We tested out various full-size chainsaws that were relatively light on the wallet to bring you the best.

You’re not out of luck if you’re looking for a little guy but we tested out fourteen different cheap chainsaws to see which was the best for home use. In the end, five of them made the cut, being well functioning, powerful saws that weren’t wallet-scaring while maintaining the right qualities for medium-duty or less.

Scroll saws and band saws are both specialized tools that find their place in the homes of woodworkers, both professional and amateur. Chances are that anyone looking to get into the art is going to end up with both at some point, but the differences between these seemingly similar tools are pretty big, and it can be a hard choice to decide which is the right to add to your workshop first.

Read on, and we’ll help you make the decision.
