Generic Circular Saw
This generic circular saw model, created in January 2010, represents a mid-poly balance between realism and efficiency — perfect for industrial renders, tool catalogs, or simulation environments. Designed in Blender 3D and rendered with Yaf(a)Ray, it captures the tactile realism of brushed metal, plastic housing, and a sharp, layered blade.
The model includes a full Blender scene setup with lighting and materials configured for Yaf(a)Ray. Its geometry is medium density — 7,157 polygons and 7,212 vertices — allowing clean close-ups or subdivision refinement.

Design Notes
This circular saw asset was modeled as part of Leo Blanchette’s industrial series — designed to be generic yet highly functional. It reflects the practical realism that characterized early 2010s 3D production workflows: strong topology, efficient texturing, and minimal reliance on PBR systems.
The clean topology and non-branded design make it suitable for use in educational, simulation, and commercial visualizations where proprietary branding isn’t allowed.
