Can I use

to power a 6 volt dc motor?

You could, but running it at 5V and only 1A it'll be a bit underpowered,
if this is for your small circular saw ...

This saw will cut 2mm thick coffee stirrers.


Can we start again and ask what is the purpose of this exercise?

Is it to make a working tiny model wood cutting saw as a hobby project
or to do something to a large number of small thin pieces of wood?

Can it run off mains using an adaptor?

I want to build a box that will house a circular saw blade that will
be fully enclosed within the box. However, there will be an slot into which
a coffee stirrer can be slid laterally.
If this unit runs on battery power the charge should be able to
make...perhaps a 100 such cuts.
I hope thats enough info.


I think Martin was hinting at why?.

Whilst the why PF your project is in some senses irrelevant, it might
influence the quality of advice that you get. If its purely to make a
child-safe electric toy saw there might be better ways to achieve what
you want. If you have a different motive for this project then again it
might be useful to share it as there may be other approaches that youve
not considered.

You currently seem to be determined to make an underpowered, under-speed
circular saw for no good reason and your requests for information suggest a
degree of mechanical and electrical inexperience. Nothing wrong with an
oddball project just for the heck of it but youll get better advice if
you explain WHY as well as WHAT youre trying to make.
