Identify and select appropriate cutting tools for a given project. 2. Use cutting tools correctly and accurately when given a woodworking project. 3. Read measurements within 1/16”. 4. Cut boards within 1/16” tolerance. Essential Questions: What are the common hand cutting tools and the procedure for using them?

2. Cross Cut Hand Saw  Used for cutting across the grain.  8 to 12 teeth per inch. The more teeth per inch the smoother the cut.

3. Rip Handsaw  Used to cut with the grain of the wood.  5 to 7 teeth per inch.  We do not have a rip saw in the shop.

4. Back Saw  Has a thin blade with fine teeth with a heavy piece of steel fitted over the back to prevent it from buckling.  Used to make flat bottom cuts such as, dado cuts and rabbit cuts.  Only cuts on the forward stroke.

5. Key Hole or Compass Saw  Used mostly for cutting holes in sheet rock/dry wall
