Hand Saw for Wood: Craftsmanship Meets Precision
Hand saws can be used in various woodworking and DIY projects that require cutting wood, plastic, and other materials.
Hand saws can cut on the push or downstroke or on the pull or upstroke, which makes it easier to start a cut and helps remove the cut material quicker.
Types of Hand SawsBelow are a few hand saws Rockler carries, each with unique blades designed for specific cutting tasks:
- Coping saw: This saw has a narrow, thin metal blade attached to a U-shaped frame. A coping saw makes intricate curves and shapes on a board with precise control.
- Japanese saw: This saw has a flexible blade that cuts on the pull stroke and is often used to cut very fine or delicate pieces of wood.
- Dovetail saw: This saw has a rigid back and fine teeth and is useful for making dovetails—wood joints that connect two pieces of wood by fitting them together.
