On balance, a jigsaw might be better than a circular saw if you're new to this kind of thing. To put a level to it, I could allow students to use jigsaws under supervision, but the L.E.A. absolutely prohibited the use of hand held circular saws in school workshops.

My father in law expressed concern at hand-held circular saws on the basis that you're essentially putting a couple of horsepower through the blade. Put like that it was a bit of an eye opener.
