Although convenient and powerful, there are certain things a tabletop woodworking machine can’t do. We recommend investing in some solid hand tools that allow you the control and precision you need to develop your skills and achieve the desired result if you’re working with woods. It’s vital to your woodworking practice that you purchase at least one high quality and functional hand saw.
Some saws are not just suitable for wood, but for plastic and/or metal. Please check the description of the specific item for its exact specifications.

There are 9 main types of hand saw, and the kind of saw you require will depend entirely on the effect you want to create.
Universal saw (also known as the general-purpose saw)
The universal saw is what most of us picture in our heads when we think of a hand saw. It’s incredibly versatile and has varying sizes of teeth to facilitate different types of cutting. A good general rule to remember is that the larger the teeth, the faster you’ll be able to cut. However, it’s important to note that large teeth leave behind very rough wood. If you’re looking to make more precise cuts, then you’ll need a saw with smaller teeth.
Tenon saw
These saws can be used alongside a mitre fence to produce precise and angled cuts. Their small teeth are ideal for interior woodwork, as they offer very neat results.
Japanese saw
Japanese saws are great for those small, hard to reach places. Their flexible blades and fine teeth make them essential to any decorative woodworking or for anyone who needs clean flush cuts. Interestingly, unlike traditional Western saws, they cut on the pull stroke. This means they are easier to use than other styles of saw.
Jab saw (also known as a keyhole saw)
If you’re working in a confined space, the long ‘nose’ of this saw allows you to make straight or curved cuts in hard to reach places.
Coping saw
The coping saw features a thin blade held tight in a U-frame. If you’re a model maker or artist who needs to make curved, decorative cuts, the coping saw makes it easy to achieve.
Flush cut saw
Generally used for finishing work, this saw is designed to make flush cuts.
Bow saw
Traditionally used for cutting logs for the fire or big ragged hunks of wood, the bow saw has huge teeth and a steel frame.
Pruning saw
A curved saw used for pruning plants, trees or just bits of wood.
Frame saw
Particularly old fashioned, these stunning saws consist of a wooden frame with a blade forming one of the sides.
