Description
A coping saw is a type of bow saw and is commonly used to produce straight, curved and intricate shaped cuts in woodwork.
It typically has a U-shaped metal frame, a wooden handle and a narrow blade which is held in place via a couple of pins.
The handle is also used to tighten the blade, hold it in place and create the right tension for the job you are working on.
The flexibility in the narrow blade and the shape of the frame allows users to do more than follow straight lines. It can follow curves and create shapes that most other saws can’t or will struggle to do.
