Miner's saw
Although the miner's axe is mainly used for sheeting the mine galleries, a
saw is sometimes used for this. It is a folding saw with a rigid, rounded
blade (approx. 35-45 / 4-5 cm). This blade is attached to a straight handle
of the same length by means of a spindle. The teeth enter the groove of the
handle for transport. Sometimes, however, the blade is fixed. The handle is
then shorter and the saw is carried in a wooden tube. [MOT]
