About this Raddle

The circular saw has a fittingly circuitous origin. Samuel Miller received a British patent for the circular saw in 1777; and a German man named Gervinus built a similar machine in 1780; and a Shaker woman in Massachusetts named Tabitha Babbitt created her own contraption in 1810 but didn't patent it due to her religious beliefs.
