... the fret saw is the tool of choice for intricate work.... Fret saw blades do not have pins. Instead, clamps on the saw hold the ends tight.... The thinner blades [are not] designed for heavy cutting[, but they are] capable of much greater precision.... In addition to the blade clamping mechanism, these saws also feature an adjustable frame. This enables them to accommodate different blade lengths. 3, record 1, English, - fretsaw

Scie de long [...] Cette grande scie nous est connue sous deux formes. La première version de cet instrument nous présente une lame dentelée tendue à l'intérieur d'un cadre de bois rectangulaire, composé de deux montants et d'une traverse haute et basse. Chaque traverse porte une poignée, afin de permettre à deux hommes de la manœuvrer. [...] Il existe un autre type de scie de long dépouillée, cette fois, du cadre de bois. La lame de celle-ci diffère de la première en ce que sa largeur va s'augmentant d'une extrémité à l'autre. L'extrémité la plus large porte une poignée située perpendiculairement par rapport au plan de la lame. L'autre bout de la scie est garni d'une poignée amovible. 3, record 3, French, - scie%20de%20long%20%C3%A0%20lame%20libre
