"compass saw"の定義と意味

What is a "compass saw"?

A compass saw is a hand tool used for making curved or circular cuts in wood, drywall, and other materials. It has a long, narrow blade with a pointed tip, which allows for precise, detailed cutting along curved lines. The blade is often thinner than other saws, making it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. Compass saws are commonly used in woodworking and carpentry when a curved cut is needed, such as cutting out shapes for windows, doors, or decorative elements. The design of the tool allows for better control when working with curves or intricate patterns.
