The document outlines various types of saws used in woodworking, including crosscut saws for cutting across grain, rip saws for cutting along grain, and specialized saws like the compass saw and dovetail saw. It also covers power saws like the circular saw and jigsaw, highlighting their applications and designs. Each saw type is described with its features, history, and typical uses in carpentry and woodworking.

1. Types
of
Saw

16. CROSS CUT SAW
Thwart saw
Saw designed for
cutting wood perpendicular to (across)
the wood grain.
Crosscut saws generally have larger teeth
than rip saws.
They came into wide usage in Europe in
the middle of the 15th century.

19. RIP SAW
Handsaw used to cut the wood along the
grain
The cutting edge of each tooth has a flat
front edge and it is angled backward by
about 8°, in contrast to a crosscut saw,
which has teeth angled backward by
about 15°.
Rip saws typically have 4–10 teeth per
inch

22. COMPASS SAW
Used to cut irregular shape either in large or
small board
Saw used for making curved cuts known
as compasses, particularly in confined spaces
where a larger saw would not fit.
Compass saws have a narrow, tampered blade
usually ending in a sharp point, typically with
eight to ten teeth per inch

23. COMPASS SAW
have a curved, light "pistol grip" handle,
designed for work in confined spaces and
overhead.
Also known as keyhole saw, pad saws or
jab saws

26. BACK SAW
Hand saw which has a stiffening rib on the edge
opposite the cutting edge, allowing for better
control and more precise cutting than with other
types of saws.
Backsaws are normally used in woodworking for
precise work.
Backsaws include the tenon saw, the dovetail
saw, and the (United Kingdom) sash saw.

29. TURNING SAW
Bow saw, Swede saw, Finn saw or Buck saw.
Crosscut saw in the shape of a bow with a coarse
wide blade.
Can be used for cross-cutting branches or
firewood
Woodworking tool used for straight or curved
cuts.
The bow saw was used both in ancient China and
the Hellenistic period, and developed from earlier
saws.

32. COPING SAW
hand saw used to cut intricate external shapes
and interior cut-outs in woodworking or
carpentry.
invented in middle of the 16th century
consists of a thin, hardened steel blade,
stretched between the ends of a square, c
shaped, springy-iron frame to which a handle
is attached

35. DOVETAIL SAW
A small backsaw used to cut dovetails.

38. CIRCULAR SAW
power-saw using a toothed or
abrasive disc or blade to cut different materials
using a rotary motion spinning around an arbor.
invented in the late 18th century
common use in sawmills in the United States may
be hand-held or mounted to a machine
Cuts are straight and relatively accurate
The saw usually leaves burrs on the cut edge of
metal and plastic (which should then be addressed
with sand paper)

41. CHAINSAW
portable, mechanical saw which cuts with a set
of teeth attached to a rotating chain that runs
along a guide bar.
It is used in activities such as
tree felling, limbing, bucking, pruning,
cutting firebreaks in wildland fire suppression,
and harvesting of firewood.

44. JIGSAW
bayonet saw or sabre saw.
power tool is a jigsaw made up of an electric
motor and a reciprocating saw blade.
used primarily for cutting curved or irregular
shapes of wood surfaces.
