Back saw
01
a type of hand saw with a reinforced back edge that provides stability and rigidity to the thin, fine-toothed blade
What is a "back saw"?
A back saw is a type of hand saw that has a stiffened, reinforced spine along the top edge of the blade, making it more rigid and providing better control for precise cuts. The teeth of a back saw are finer and more closely spaced, allowing for smoother, more accurate cuts. It is commonly used in woodworking, particularly for making detailed cuts.
Example
I find that a back saw works better than a regular saw for making detailed, clean cuts.
For the fine woodworking project, I grabbed a back saw to ensure accurate miter cuts.
