Fret saw

A deep, U-shaped bow-type saw, used for cutting curved shapes in thin wood, plywood and veneer. The deep frame enables shapes to be cut out at a considerable distance from the edge of the workpiece. It consists of a metal frame, two thumbscrews securing the fine toothed blade in place, and a wooden handle.
