50% Answer Correctly

Which of the following saws would you use for creating a curved cut in wood?

66% Answer Correctly

	coping saw
	hacksaw
	crosscut saw
	back saw

Solution

Wood saws are categorized by their teeth shape and the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.

When cutting hard metals with a hacksaw you should choose a blade with __________ teeth per inch (TPI).

64% Answer Correctly

	odd
	high
	low
	even

Solution

Blades with more and smaller teeth (high TPI) cut harder metals more effectively while blades with fewer and larger teeth (low TPI) cut softer metals more effectively.
