Quick Summary

A coping saw is a handsaw with a very narrow blade held under tension in a U-shaped frame. It is primarily used for cutting curves and other irregular shapes in wood. This type of saw is essentially a hacksaw with a deeper frame and a much narrower blade, making it well-suited for intricate work. The narrow blade is pulled through the workpiece by the frame, which holds the blade taut.123
