WHAT IT DOES

A chop saw has a circular saw blade mounted on an arm that pivots up and down. It is used to make short cuts (for example, cutting a long piece of material to smaller lengths) and is suitable for cutting metal.

If you need to cut wood at an exact angle, consider using a mitre saw instead. For longer, straight cuts, consider a table saw.
