Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
La scie à chantourner est une scie montée de petite dimension(15 à 17 cm), de structure semblable à celle de la scie de marqueterie. Elle comporte une lame fixe et étroite(2 à 4 mm) retenue sous tension par un cadre en métal rigide(11, 5 à 16, 5 cm de profond), en forme de U et muni d’une poignée de bois; des goupilles fixent les extrémités de la lame aux chaperons de métal qui donnent à la lame son orientation. [...] Sa denture très fine est triangulaire couchée, et ne coupe donc que dans un sens, mais on peut faire pointer les dents vers la poignée ou à l'opposé, selon le travail à exécuter. On utilise cette scie à chantourner soit pour l'exécution des courbes de très petit diamètre(moulures, p. ex.) que l'on ne peut réaliser avec la scie baïonnette [...] 1, record 1, French, - scie%20%C3%A0%20chantourner
