Various types of woodworking handsaws

2. Panel saw: Also called a hand saw. It consists of a saw blade and a handle. The saw blade is approximately 250mm-750mm long, with a tooth pitch of 3mm-4mm. Panel saws are used for sawing wider boards.
3. Wire saw: Also called a bow saw. It is made by bending bamboo strips into an arc shape and stretching steel wire at both ends. Serrated edges are cut into the wire, and the sharp edges are used for sawing. The wire is 200mm-600mm long, and the bow is approximately 800mm-900mm long.
