DEF

A special hand saw with a blade 14-18 in long. the lower edge is often convex, and the teeth are sometimes carried round the curved toe of the saw and along the back. Used by electricians, gas fitters, plumbers, and other tradesmen for cutting out a section of floor board or partition. The curved end of the saw enables a particular board to be sawn across without damaging its neighbour.

  • Outillage à main
DEF

Scie à main de petite dimension, réservée au sectionnement de lames de parquets.

CONT

La scie défonceuse est une scie à main particulière, de petite dimension (30 à 36 cm) : les deux rives de la lame sont munies de dents. 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.).
