The panel saw, most commonly referred to as the “hand saw,” is one of the most basic types of carpenter’s saws that has been in use in its current form since the Sixteenth century. This saw is recognized by its large wooden handle, which is attached to a piece of metal, usually ranging from 12 inches to over 20 inches in length. The saw blade has many serrations that are cut at a 45-degree angle.
First designed in its current form by the Dutch in the early 1700’s, this saw has been and is still used by carpenters to do basic cuts on large pieces of wood, most often cabinets. Like most tools, a modern form of this saw can easily be bought today at any place that sells hardware.
