WHAT IT DOES

A coping saw can be used to cut wood, metal, plastic or ceramic (tiles). The deep C-shaped steel frame holds a thin fine-toothed blade that allows you to saw around a curve. It can also be used to cut decorative moldings to fit around corners.

HOW TO USE IT

Use slow and steady strokes, and avoid pressing down as this can cause the saw to jump.
Bear in mind that some saws cut on the forward stroke and others cut on the backward stroke, depending on which way the teeth are facing. Make sure the teeth are the right way round for your saw when you are fitting a new blade.
