What tool should I use to cut wood

The answer to this largely depends on what kind of wood and what type of cut is intended. When cutting wood thinner, a table saw is the best tool. When cutting long wood to be shorter, a miter saw would be better. A circular saw with a straight edge can also be used in place of a miter saw. If cutting designs or circles, a jigsaw or scroll saw would be best. It is best to use the proper type of saw for the cut at hand in order to get the best result and prevent injuries.
