The flatness error is one of the critical parameters of a circular saw, which seriously affects the cutting performance. In this paper, the measurement of the circular saw flatness error based on a laser displacement sensor is proposed. For the tooth of a circular saw, the plane is discontinuous. According to the field detection demand of a circular saw, the authors collected Archimedean spiral three coordinate data of the circular saw using a laser displacement sensor. Considering the practical application of circular saw flatness detection, the authors have established an ideal plane model of the flatness based on the least-squares method to evaluate the flatness error of circular saws. The system has a maximum detection area of 400 mm × 400 mm, the measurement time is 80 s, and the measurement absolution accuracy is 10 μm.
