40/111 95, is a narrow saw, set in a frame, which stretches the saw tight, so that it works as a tension saw (cf.p. 62). The turning-saw is used chiefly for cutting curves. A 14 inch blade, 3/16 of an inch wide is a good size for ordinary use. The teeth are like those of a rip-saw, so that they are quite likely to tear the wood in cutting across the grain. |
