A circular saw (1) is adapted to cut a blank (5), such as a block, which in a predetermined feed direction (A) along an essentially horizontal path (B) is fed through the circular saw. The circular saw has at least one liquid-cooled saw blade (10) which, for co-sawing, is rotated by a drive shaft (12), on which the saw blade (10) is displaceable with the aid of a blade guide means (13) arranged before the drive shaft (12) in the feed direction (A). In the circular saw (1), a chip-conducting surface (24) is arranged above the path (B), in the feed direction (A) after the drive shaft (12). The chip-conducting surface (24) extends over the entire width of the path (B) and is directed obliquely downwards to the drive shaft (12) and obliquely outwards to at least one of the edges of the path (B) to conduct, during sawing, chips which are cut off by the rotating saw blade (10), downwards to the path (B). |
