FAQ

FAQ — Handsaw

What is a Handsaw?

A Handsaw is a manual cutting tool with a serrated steel blade used to cut wood, plastic, and other soft materials by pushing and pulling motion.

What types of Handsaws are available?

Common types include crosscut saws, rip saws, panel saws, and fine-tooth saws—each designed for specific wood-cutting applications.

What materials are Handsaws made from?

They typically feature a high-carbon steel blade for strength and sharpness, with a wooden or plastic handle for grip and control.

How do I choose the right Handsaw?

Select a saw based on the material and desired finish—coarse-tooth blades for fast rough cuts, and fine-tooth blades for smooth, precise cutting.

Can Handsaws be used to cut metal?

Standard Handsaws are designed for wood. For cutting metal, a hacksaw or specialist metal-cutting saw should be used instead.

How do I maintain a Handsaw?

Keep the blade clean and dry, lightly oil it to prevent rust, and store it with a blade cover. Sharpen or replace when teeth become dull.

Is a Handsaw suitable for beginners?

Yes. It’s easy to use, safe with proper technique, and ideal for woodworking, DIY, and general cutting tasks.
