circular blade

Round cutting disc

A circular blade is a disc-shaped cutting tool with a sharpened edge around its circumference, designed to spin rapidly during use.

Circular blades appear in power saws, food processors, and industrial cutting equipment: The circular blade sliced through the plywood cleanly.

The rotating motion allows continuous cutting without the back-and-forth action of straight blades.
