Need to cut a kitchen worktop, trim doors, or rip lumber?
The circular saw is the king of straight cuts in wood. But beware: a cheap saw without a guide rail will result in uneven cuts and splinters. To install a kitchen or flooring, you need a plunge saw with a guide rail (track saw), expensive equipment but essential for a pro result.
With Poppins, precision becomes accessible. Our app aggregates available stock for the first time: saws from your DIY neighbors, offers from hardware stores, and fleets from professional rental companies. The result? You find a precise machine just steps away.
Where can I find a circular saw quickly?
Although Poppins covers the entire country of France, you have a 95% chance of finding a device within 15 minutes of your location if you live in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Lille, Toulouse, or Marseille. In these cities, the density of our network (neighbors + partner retailers) guarantees immediate choice.
Is it worth buying a circular saw?
The math is simple. A good saw with a rail is expensive. For a one-off project (kitchen, deck), renting is unbeatable.
On the Poppins app, you will find a wide range of circular saws adapted to every cut.To cut formwork wood or pallets, a standard circular saw (with tilting guard) offered by a neighbor is ideal.For precision cuts (worktops, doors, furniture), absolutely choose a plunge saw with guide rail (like Festool or Makita). It allows you to start the cut in the middle of the panel and guarantees a perfect line.
Which circular saw should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your precision:
- Standard Circular Saw: For quick straight cuts (battens, rafters). You follow the line by eye or with a basic parallel guide.
- Plunge Saw (with Rail/Track): The peak of precision. The blade plunges into the wood. The rail guarantees zero deviation. Essential for fitting.
- Cordless Circular Saw: Convenient for working outdoors or on a roof, without trailing cables. Check battery charge!
