[@diytoptricks]

appreciate the step-by-step guide on changing the blade and adjusting the saw for different cuts. It’s such a versatile tool, and this tutorial really brings out the best of what a coping saw can do

Regarding 5:39, a Fret Saw is similar to a Jeweler's Saw, because their blades are narrow such that the kerf of the cut is likewise narrow. Jeweler's Saw Blades teeth range from extremely fine such as #8/0 to very coarse such as #8. Coarse blades are thicker and remove more material per stroke and thus are faster to cut through material.

Very informative thank you

Hi Chris. Thanks for taking the time to show us these tips. The last clip I watched said to ensure the teeth point back to the handle - is this something you do? Wondered what your take on this was. Thanks!

Back when I was an apprentice some 50 years ago we would cope the corners on base molding instead of mitering it. One side would stay square and butt up to the wall and the other would get coped to the profile of the molding, then butt to the face of the other molding at 90%. I guess it's kind of hard to explain. Perhaps you can do a video?

How buy this items and what is prices ?

[@felgate11]

You can also buy round saw blades, like a round file, even Diamond coated ones for fine metal work. My metalwork teacher, taught me to use a coping saw Always cutting on the back stroke, for better control ?

Good information. Thanks for sharing

[@ralphietito]

Excellent! Thank you.

[@DAVIDSTOUT-un7yt]

A very good explanation. But what is missing is which way the teeth should point. Is the cut on the trust or draw?

[@GG1man]

All of my working life I have set the blade with the teeth pointing forward.

[@trekpac2]

⁠@@GG1manThese blades seem to be on the draw (the second one for sure). Although the sound on the first one sounds like on the thrust. I think I’ll go with the thrust so I can see cutting close to the line I draw.

😮 Noooo, don't screw it up. 😂

[@kgbaddley]

Not a single reference to blade direction; this has to be a joke in poor taste.

[@chrispye5149]

Why do you say, 'a joke'? And why, 'poor taste?' It's just a small detail I left out. And that's all it is. Reversing the coping saw blade is entirely optional. Use the saw properly and you don't need to do it.

[@radarhec]

I could see the teeth direction , but that was at first MY biggest question ! A hack saw blade mite matter ? Do you know sir ?

Brilliant Thank you
