A cut-off saw, often called an abrasive saw, is a power instrument that can be used to cut a variety of materials, most frequently masonry, metal, or concrete. It has a circular abrasive blade or a fast-moving toothed blade that produces clean, precise cuts. These saws are frequently employed in building, metalworking, and other industries where precise and quick cutting are necessary.

The type of blade used will vary depending on the material being cut. For cutting metal, abrasive blades are frequently employed, whereas blades with diamond tips are utilized for cutting masonry and concrete.

• Depending on the model, cut-off saws can be powered by compressed air, gas engines, or electric motors. Because they may be used outside and are portable, gasoline-powered cut-off saws are widely used.
• To stop debris and sparks from escaping when cutting, a safety guard is placed above the blade. Additionally, it offers the operator safety.
• The saw normally features one or more handles for a firm grip and control while in use.
• The operator can start and stop the saw by using the switch or trigger.
• Some cut-off saws have a base or shoe.
