An old engraving of a worker pushing timber through a circular saw in the 1800s. It is from a Victorian book of the 1890s on discoveries and inventions during the 1800s. Here the factory table saw is powered by steam power via a belt system. A circular saw is a power-saw using a toothed (or abrasive) disc or blade to cut materials using a rotary motion spinning around an arbor. Circular saws were invented in the late 18th century and were in common use in sawmills by the mid-1800s.
