Description

Used to make precise, efficient cuts through larger timber or thick stock. The frame saw consists of a thin, narrow blade held taut within a sturdy wooden frame, which keeps the blade rigid despite its slender profile. The frame allows for consistent tension and control, reducing blade flex and enabling smooth, accurate cutting along the grain or across it. Its design makes it well-suited for resawing and breaking down workpieces while maintaining a straight and steady cut line.

Safety advise

Keep fingers clear of the cutting path when using saws. Always maintain a secure grip and be cautious to prevent the saw from slipping.
