20-30 cm) and has a much narrower blade (approx. 1.5-2 cm) that tapers to a
point and is fixed in an open pistol grip or a straight handle. There are
now small compass saws with straight metal handle in which the blade
slides, so that the artisan can have the latter protrude just as much as
necessary. The joiner drills a hole in the shelf and inserts the end of the
saw into it. Despite the lack of rigidity, this saw usually works when
pushing.The drill saw is used to perform the same operations with one hand
tool. [MOT]
