The most common blade diameter is 7 1/4 inches. Most saws with blade capacities of 6 inches or more can cut through 2-inch dimensional lumber at a 45-degree angle in a single pass. A 5-3/8-inch saw can cut through 2-inch-dimensional lumber in one pass at 90 degrees but requires two passes at 45 degrees.

Also question is, can a circular saw cut a 2x4?
You can cut 2×4 with a circular saw by setting up the blade, supporting the wood and cutting straight.
Also, can a jigsaw cut thick wood? Jigsaws work best for cutting softwood that's no more than 1-1/2 in. thick and hardwood up to 3/4 in. Jigsaw blades tend to bend when cutting curves in thicker boards, leaving a beveled edge rather than a square one. To keep the cut square, use a sharp blade and avoid forcing the saw through the cut.
Regarding this, how deep can a 7 1/4 inch circular saw cut?
