The Circular Sawblade is a round toothed steel blade from a power saw. It is a metal part for improvised weapons and a source of good steel.
Carpentry turns it into brutal weapons, such as the Plank with Sawblade and the Baseball Bat with Sawblade. Cut in two, it gives Circular Sawblade Half for welded weapons. It can also be smelted down for steel.
Sawblades turn up in factories, tool stores and carpenter workshops. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Carpentry builds several weapons around a whole blade. Make Sawblade Plank fixes it to a Plank and needs Carpentry 3. Make Sawblade Wooden Bat fits it to a Baseball Bat, Crafted Baseball Bat, Field Hockey Stick or Short Bat at Carpentry 5. Make Sawblade Large Handle gives a Large Handle with Sawblade at Carpentry 5. Make Sawblade Table Leg uses an Antique Table Leg at Carpentry 5. Make Sawblade Cudgel turns a Large Branch into a Cudgel with Sawblade at Carpentry 6. Most of these take Nuts and Bolts and Leather Strips, with a wrench and a metal drill kept.
The blade can be split into two Circular Sawblade Half. Saw Circular Sawblade does it with a metal saw. Cut Circular Sawblade uses two Welding Torch uses and a welding mask at Welding 4. Cut Up Circular Sawblade With Bandsaw uses a Metal Bandsaw. Forge Circular Sawblade Into Halves does it at a Primitive Forge or better.
As steel scrap, it counts as a large steel item. Smelt Steel From Large Steel Item turns it into four Steel Chunk at an Advanced Furnace.

- Researching the blade teaches two recipes before it is used.
- One blade becomes two halves, which doubles the welded weapons it can make.
