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 2, English, - compass%20saw

Lorsqu'on parle de tête d'abattage à chaîne (coupante) au Canada, on pense généralement à des têtes d'abattage comportant une scie à chaîne, c'est-à-dire une chaîne qui circule autour d'un guide. En Europe toutefois, certaines machines de taille plus petite utilisent une chaîne sans guide, généralement tendue dans un cadre de sciage. Il semble d'ailleurs qu'une abatteuse à chaîne sans guide apparaîtra bientôt sur le marché canadien [commentaire datant de 1986]. 1, record 4, French, - t%C3%AAte%20d%27abattage%20%C3%A0%20cha%C3%AEne%20coupante

New consideration is being given to the potential utilization of surplus forest biomass as a clean and renewable alternative to fossil fuels for the generation of energy. A number of recent studies have examined the potential for the utilization of otherwise non-merchantable round wood and forest harvest residuals as feed stock for energy conversion plants... In addition to non-merchantable materials resulting from harvest activities, other sources of woody biomass could include stems taken from pre-commercial thinning in young forests and by-product residuals from forest product manufacturing operations such as shavings and saw dust. 2, record 5, English, - surplus%20forest%20biomass

anti-kickback chain : An anti-kickback saw chain uses drive links or side links which extend as they travel around the tip of the guide bar, thereby preventing contact between cutter link and the wood.
