De plus, le bout de la lame est pointu et le dos, qui est convexe à cet endroit, permet à l'ouvrier de commencer le trait de scie au milieu d'une pièce de bois. On utilise la scie défonceuse pour sectionner des lames de parquets, ayant déjà été posées, sans endommager les lames avoisinantes (lors de réparations de plomberie, p. ex.).
