* '''The miter saw (gersåg/kapsåg)''' is perfect for straight cuts up to about | * '''The miter saw (gersåg/kapsåg)''' is perfect for straight cuts up to about 30cm in length and 5cm thickness at repeatable horizontal angles between ±45°. That's the one that sits in a wooden cupboard and slides out. Longer cuts are possible but you need to use an end stop and flip your work piece upside down to cut from both sides. | ||
* '''The table saw (bordssåg)''' is perfect for straight cuts up to about a meter in length and 5cm thickness at repeated vertical angles between 45-90°. That's the one that looks like a table in the middle of the floor. It has a risk of violently throwing your work piece towards you if used incorrectly, so please either clamp your work to a sled or look up "how to avoid kickback on a table saw" online before using it. | * '''The table saw (bordssåg)''' is perfect for straight cuts up to about a meter in length and 5cm thickness at repeated vertical angles between 45-90°.

* '''The band saw (bandsåg)''' is perfect for curved cuts with a curve radius larger than about 5cm in work pieces smaller than roughly 0.5m². That's the machine with a thin vertical metal strip with saw teeth. Please note that the blade moves downwards at high speed and with significant force so it'll try to pull anything you feed into it down towards the table which can be incredibly dangerous if you try hand holding anything when remotely round or otherwise elevated over the table at the point of contact with the blade. The band saw can also split things vertically without removing much material, called "resaw", but a wider blade should be fitted and all guides adjusted before doing that. | * '''The band saw (bandsåg)''' is perfect for curved cuts with a curve radius larger than about 5cm in work pieces smaller than roughly 0.5m².
