The blade can be turned to any angleby twisting the handle at both ends. Foreign workmen use frame saws withwide blades, and chairmakers also cut their curves with double handed framesheld upright. Fret and Marquetry Saw Frames are much slighter andnarrower, and are usually made of steel. The blades are very fine and aresold in bundles of a dozen. Keyhole, or Pad Saw, f. 3, from the pad or socket which also servesas a handle into which the blade passes when not in use. The blade, whichtapers, is fixed by two screws at the nozzle of the pad. Back Saws.—These are used for finer work, and can only penetratethe wood to a given depth owing to the ridge of iron, or brass, whichruns along the top of the blade and is known as the back. In section, this back is split and tapers slightly from the top, thus forming a spring tohold the blade and keep it flat and rigid. When the blade works loose it TOOLS—APPLIANCES—MATERIALS ii. Hand, Back and Frame Saws and Chisels. 12 MODERN CABINETWORK, EURNITURE, AND FITMENTS is liable to buckle, and can be set right again by a careful and gradual adjust-ment of the back by tapping it on the top edge until its increased grip hasrestiffened the blade.

The longest is commonly known as the Tenon Saw, f. 4, p. 11, fromits use in cabinet work for cutting tenons and shoulders.
