Introducing the Dremel® Moto-Saw™: the Must-Have Tool for the Modern Hobbyist, Crafter and Diyer INTRODUCING THE DREMEL® MOTO-SAW™: THE MUST-HAVE TOOL FOR THE MODERN HOBBYIST, CRAFTER AND DIYER Compact, user-friendly scroll saw is perfect for small workshops and tabletops, is easy to set up and use, and goes from handheld to stationary in seconds. MT. PROSPECT, Ill. – Jan. 1, 2013 – The Dremel® brand is introducing the Moto-Saw™, an innovative cutting tool for hobbyists, crafters and light DIYers. The Dremel Moto-Saw is the only tool that converts from a stationary scroll saw to a handheld portable coping saw with the touch of a button. Compact, portable and easy to use, the Moto-Saw is an exciting new solution for completing craft, hobby and household projects, from model building to woodworking to light repairs. “The Moto-Saw reinvents precision cutting and is an innovative solution for today’s hobbyist and DIYer,” said Edward Pchola, Dremel Director of Product Marketing. “This space-saving saw is easy to set up and store, powerful enough to make precise cuts in a variety of materials, and fun for users of all experience levels.” Available in January, the Moto-Saw is two convenient saws in one—a stationary yet easily portable scroll saw that easily attaches to any table, including bench-tops and kitchen counter tops, and also converts to a lightweight, detachable handheld coping saw. The tool features a clamp base that quickly attaches to various sizes of tables, benches and other surfaces. With the push of a button, the easy-to- detach coping saw allows the tool to be used in hand practically anywhere. An extra long, nine-foot cord ensures ample mobility when tackling projects. The kit includes four different saw blades, the Dremel Moto-Saw can easily and precisely cut through a variety of materials, including wood, laminate, plastic and thin metal. The auto-tensioning QuickChange™ mechanism allows users to quickly and easily switch blades without the need of a wrench, while also keeping the blade taught, reducing the need to make blade adjustments. The Dremel Moto-Saw offers a high-speed motor with variable speed (1,500–2,250 SPM) control for optimal cutting in a variety of materials. The saw has a slim, ergonomic handle with comfort grip and weighs just 2.4 pounds, so users can spend more time enjoying their favorite hobbies and crafts, while exploring their creative side. An included dust port adapter attaches to most household vacuum cleaners to the Moto-Saw, keeping the work space clean and maintaining a clear line of sight. “The Moto-Saw is a simple-to-use and space-saving solution over traditional scroll and coping saws,” said Pchola. “Now families can find inspiration and enjoy their favorite hobbies and crafts together, and more often, with the simplicity and versatility of this saw.” Traditional scroll saws are bulky, difficult to set up and adjust, and expensive for non-professional users. The Dremel Moto-Saw tool is part of convenient kit that includes one attachment and 10 genuine Dremel accessories, ensuring users can tackle nearly any cutting application, from household repairs to hobby and craft projects. The Moto-Saw kit comes in a durable storage case for superior attachment and accessory organization and storage that lets you take your Moto-Saw anywhere. The Dremel Moto-Saw (MS20-01) will be available beginning in January 2013 on Amazon.com and at Lowe’s home improvement centers, for a suggested retail price of $99.99 USD and $119.99 CAD.

  • Hand Saws Hand Saws Have Evolved to fill Many Niches and Cutting Styles
    Source: https://www.garagetooladvisor.com/hand-tools/different-types-of-saws-and-their-uses/ Hand Saws Hand saws have evolved to fill many niches and cutting styles. Some saws are general purpose tools, such as the traditional hand saw, while others were designed for specific applications, such as the keyhole saw. No tool collection is complete without at least one of each of these, while practical craftsmen may only purchase the tools which fit their individual usage patterns, such as framing or trim. Back Saw A back saw is a relatively short saw with a narrow blade that is reinforced along the upper edge, giving it the name. Back saws are commonly used with miter boxes and in other applications which require a consistently fine, straight cut. Back saws may also be called miter saws or tenon saws, depending on saw design, intended use, and region. Bow Saw Another type of crosscut saw, the bow saw is more at home outdoors than inside. It uses a relatively long blade with numerous crosscut teeth designed to remove material while pushing and pulling. Bow saws are used for trimming trees, pruning, and cutting logs, but may be used for other rough cuts as well. Coping Saw With a thin, narrow blade, the coping saw is ideal for trim work, scrolling, and any other cutting which requires precision and intricate cuts. Coping saws can be used to cut a wide variety of materials, and can be found in the toolkits of everyone from carpenters and plumbers to toy and furniture makers. Crosscut Saw Designed specifically for rough cutting wood, a crosscut saw has a comparatively thick blade, with large, beveled teeth.

  • Common Saw Types
    Common Saw Types “Basic” Handsaw This is the most recognizable and the simplest to operate of all of saws. It works on wood of all types but is best for “soft” woods. Can be used for all types of cuts. Hack Saw This type of handsaw features a fine-toothed replaceable blade on a C-frame. Commonly used for cutting metals and plastics. Japanese Saws A saw type with a thinner blade with crosscut teeth on one side and rip teeth on the other. These saws are more often found in a fine woodworking or furniture making situation. Coping Saw Popular with artists, this simple but useful cutting tool consists of a thin replaceable blade in a C-shaped frame that uses interchangeable blades for both metal and wood. It can cut tight radiuses but perhaps its most useful feature is the ability to remove the blade and thread it through a drilled hole to cut inside profiles. Jigsaw/Reciprocating Saw If you’ve ever needed to cut a custom shape out of a sheet of plywood or even plastic, this is a great saw. If a perfectly straight line is what you need, then leave this tool on the shelf. Even in the hands of a skilled operator the blade will drift easily. Circular Saw This saw is the standard for making cross and rip cuts. If you van only have one powered saw, this is the one. When it is paired with a saw guide it can make surprisingly accurate cuts. Table Saw Ripping and beveling are the things the table saw does best.

    70 - Door Trim and Baseboards Tools and Materials Needed: 1. Trim nails guns loaded with 2 inch finish nails. Uses the small hoses with small fittings. 2. 6ft and 2 ft levels 3. Trim miter saw 4. Coping saw 5. Angle finder (adjustable square) 6. ¼ inch reveal trim gauge (homemade blocks of wood) Most Common Mistakes: 1. Poorly fitting miter joint 2. Inconsistent reveal around door casing 3. Trim interferes with electrical boxes Roles Teams of 2 work well. One person adjusts the door trim or floorboard while another nails. On long baseboards, a 2nd person holding the far end of the tape results in better measurements. Door Trim Installation Before this step, drywall was hung taped and textured and interior doors where installed. The walls may or may not have been painted – either way is acceptable. 1. Verify that there is sufficient space for door trim between the doors and any neighboring room corner and electric box (including electric trim plate). Rarely, some mistake is made in this area. If problems are found, consult the supervisor. 2. Mark a ¼ inch reveal on the top and both sides of the door casing using the homemade trim gauge. 3. Measure from the subfloor to the top mark made in step 2. Subtract ¼ inch so that the side molding is elevated off the floor by ¼ inch. 4. Measure from side to side marks made in step 1. This is the size of the short end of the miter cuts for the top door trim. 5. Mark door trim to match the measurements in step 2.
