Woodworking Hand Saws. Even with all the modern electrical saws and gadgets that work wonders for carpenters and woodworkers, many still prefer to use the classic handsaws and other manual tools. The length of the hand saw's blade determines its overall size.
There are many varieties: Dozuki saws feature a rigid back that doesn't allow the blade spine to flex; Ryoba saws on the other hand feature a push and pull design with a double edge design; Azebiki Japanese saws feature a special, short curved blade that is best for starting holes in the middle of wood. Note: If you hold one hand out in front of you with no saw in it, and your hand folded as if you were holding the saw, then pull your hand back as if you were cutting (without trying to keep it straight), you will notice that your hand will twist usually to the inside, but not always--there lies the problem--since you need only one stroke to. Our huge selection of drill presses and miter saws will put the power in your hands to complete your projects faster and easier.

Crosscut saws have beveled edges for cutting across the wood's grain. Hand saws with "Rip" teeth will cut along the length of the board with the grain. Using a hand saw is a basic, but very important skill to master when learning to use hand tools to work wood.
