CUTTING TOOLS (SAWS)

Saws are cutting tools made of high quality tool steel. The teeth of saws are set
alternately left and right to allow for clearance. There are different types of saws designed
to perform different jobs. These are the rip saw, cross–cut saw, tenon saw, bow saw,
dovetail saw, coping saw and fret saw.

1. The rip saw: the rip saw is used for cutting timber into thin sections such as planks. It cuts
wood along the grain. It is long, broad and slender.

2. The cross–cut saw This is like the rip saw in appearance except that the blade is thicker. It is
also has sharper taper blade than the rip saw. The cross – cut saw is used to cut wood across
the grain such as in cutting wood into logs.

3. The tenon saw The tenon saw is used for cutting tenon joints and other small jobs on the
bench. The non – cutting edge of the tenon saw is thickened with metal. This give it stiffness and
weight when cutting. It is smaller than both the rip saw and cross – cut saw.

4. The bow saw This saw is used for cutting circular or semicircular curves. The deep – bow
shape of the frame provides this advantage

5. The dovetail saw This saw looks like the tenon saw but it is smaller in size and has an open
handle. It is used for cutting dove tail joints and other small jobs on the bench.

6. The coping saw The coping saw is used for cutting curves on the wood and plywood. The
blade of the coping saw slender and this allows the blade to be adjusted in any direction

7. The fret saw This is used for cutting complex shapes and curves in plywood and veneer. The
blade is finer than the coping saw’s blade. It has a high frame which allows it to be used over a
wide area.

8. The panel saw The panel saw capable of doing the work of both the rip saw and cross – cut
saw. It is an all-purpose saw. It shape is similar to that of the cross–cut saw but it is much smaller
in size.

9. The keyhole saw The keyhole saw has a slender but rugged blade. It used for cutting holes of
different
