Hand Saw & Circular Saw

Hand saws are used in woodworking to cut wood into different shapes by having a series of sharp points that are harder than wood. There are several types of hand saws: hack saws which cut metal with a thin blade; coping saws which make curved cuts with narrow blades; crosscut saws which cut across the grain of wood; bow cut saws which remove sawdust from thick wood sections; fret saws which make precise, curved cuts; and keyhole saws which have a pointed blade that can jab through and cut materials like drywall. Each saw is designed for different cutting tasks.

HAND SAW

HAND SAW
 In woodworking and carpentry, hand saws, also known as "panel
saws", are used to cut pieces of wood into different shapes. This is
usually done in order to join the pieces together and carve a
wooden object. They usually operate by having a series of sharp
points of some substance that is harder than the wood being cut.
The hand saw is a bit like a tenon saw, but with one flat, sharp
edge.
TYPES OF HAND SAW
 HACK SAW
The hack saw was created to cut through metal,
and due to its thin blade, it works well to cut
through thin materials such as plastic or metal
pipes. For very occasional use, it could also be
used as a multi-purpose saw for cutting through
wood, but this could damage the blade. This saw
holds a fine-toothed blade under tension across a
C-frame, typically with between 18 and 32 teeth
per inch. The hack saw is one of the most common
types of saws and is an essential hand tool for
small DIY jobs around the home
 COPING SAW
The coping saw, as the hack saw, has a
blade that is secured in place by tension. It
is used for making curved cuts on wood,
and in fact, this is where it gets its name
from, as it is ideally used to create coping
joints rather than miter joints. The blades
of these saws are narrow, with between 15
and 17 teeth per inch of the blade. These
saws are lightweight and typically measure
around 6 inches across.
 CROSSCUT SAW
This saw is used for making rough cuts of wood,
for example, trimming branches or cutting lumber,
and is designed to cut across the grain of the
wood (i.e., perpendicular to the grain). These saws
have large teeth and a relatively thick blade to
make it sturdy against rough wood. Crosscut saws
can be for use by one person, or for two people
simultaneously. The two-person crosscut saws
have a handle at either end and are also
sometimes called a lumberjack saw. These are
great for cutting backyard planks to size, and
might also be handy on camping trips.

trips.
 BOW CUT SAW
A bow cut saw is a modern type of
crosscut saw. It is a medium-sized hand
tool that is most commonly used outdoors
for pruning trees and cutting logs. A bow
cut saw has crosscut teeth that are able to
remove sawdust while being pushed in and
out. Their blades are fairly long and
narrow, making them suitable for cutting
thick sections of wood. They can also be
used to make curved cuts.
 FRET SAW
These saws are designed to complete
much more intricate woodwork. The name
of ‘fret’ comes from the French word
‘freter,’ which translates in English to
‘lattice,’ as this saw was made for use on
latticework. Its blades have around 32
teeth per inch, which makes them very
precise and able to produce accurate work;
however, it also makes them fragile. Fret
saws are able to produce curved cuts, like
a coping saw, but the coping saw offers
much less accuracy than a fret saw.
 KEYHOLE SAW

These saws take the shape of a dagger, with a blade


that comes to a point at the opposite end of a single
handle. They are also known as ‘jab saws’ because the
sharp point allows them to jab through materials such
as drywall, and then saw through. Their thin blade
makes them ideal for making awkward cutting
maneuvers or making small holes. They are also used
for cutting rough patterns out. These types of saws
typically come in two varieties; with a fixed blade or
with a retractable blade.
