A crosscut saw is a specialized handsaw for manually cutting wood across the grain.

Crosscut saws
include a blade and a handle. The blade edge below the handle is the heel and the opposite end is the
toe. The numerous cutting teeth between the heel and toe have alternating cutting edges. Each cutting
tooth cuts with one edge and pushes the sawdust out with the other. Crosscut saws have 8 to 15
pointed teeth per inch.

A rip saw is a wood saw that is specially designed for making a rip cut, a cut made parallel to the
direction of the wood grain.

A backsaw is any hand saw which has a stiffening rib on the edge opposite the cutting edge, enabling
better control and more precise cutting than with other types of saws. Backsaws are normally used
in woodworking for precise work, such as cutting dovetails, mitres, or tenons in cabinetry and joinery.
Because of the stiffening rib, backsaws are limited in the depth to which they can cut. Backsaws usually
have relatively closely spaced teeth, often with little or no set.

A compass saw is a type of saw used for making curved cuts known as compasses, particularly in
confined spaces where a larger saw would not fit.

A coping saw is a type of bow saw used to cut intricate external shapes and interior cut-outs in
woodworking or carpentry. It is widely used to cut moldings to create coped rather than mitre joints. It
is occasionally used to create fretwork though it is not able to match a fretsaw in intricacy of cut,
particularly in thin materials. Coping saw blades are always thicker and much coarser cutting than typical
fretsaw blades and many others of its family members. Coping saws can however cut slight bends in the
work, allowing circles to be cut if used carefully.

A dovetail joint or simply dovetail is a joinery technique most commonly used in woodworking joinery
(carpentry) including furniture, cabinets.[1] log buildings and traditional timber framing. Noted for its
resistance to being pulled apart (tensile strength), the dovetail joint is commonly used to join the sides
of a drawer to the front. A series of 'pins' cut to extend from the end of one board interlock with a series
of 'tails' cut into the end of another board. The pins and tails have a trapezoidal shape. Once glued, a
wooden dovetail joint requires no mechanical fasteners.

The cutting principles of the auger bit are the same as those of the center bit above. The auger adds a
long deep spiral flute for effective chip removal.[10]Two styles of auger bit are commonly used in hand
braces: the Jennings or Jennings-pattern bit has a self-feeding screw tip, two spurs and two radial
cutting edges. This bit has a double flute starting from the cutting edges, and extending several inches
up the shank of the bit, for waste removal. This pattern of bit was developed by Russell Jennings in the
mid-19th century.

Drill bits are cutting tools used to remove material to create holes, almost always of circular cross-
section. Drill bits come in many sizes and shapes and can create different kinds of holes in many
different materials. In order to create holes drill bits are usually attached to a drill, which powers them
to cut through the workpiece, typically by rotation. The drill will grasp the upper end of a bit called
the shank in the chuck.
