The compass saw is a particularly useful tool for the carpenter. It performs many tasks, from cutting curves and circles to starting a cut from a hole bored in wood. It is manufactured in various sizes, and basically it is tapered from the tooth edge to a thin back to allow for clearance. As to its appearance, it has a sharp point and the teeth extend the full length of the blade. 1, record 1, English, - compass%20saw
