Abstract: A sawing device, in particular a circular saw bench or crosscut saw, including a workpiece support for supporting a workpiece, a saw blade, and an electrical actuator device for setting a saw blade position of the saw blade relative to the workpiece support. The electrical actuator device has a first electrical actuator which includes a first rotor and serves to set the saw blade position in a first degree of freedom, in particular a saw blade angle, and the sawing device is designed to detect a current saw blade position of the saw blade on the basis of a first rotor movement of the first rotor.
