    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

    & CIRCULAR
    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.
