A Hand Saw is a tool that has basic use in our daily life. It is used for the cutting of wood and other items like plastic pipes, plywood, and vinyl sheets. It is made up of hard steel which is also flexible because it has to move in between the wood logs. The edge of the saw is in the form of a teeth-like structure that is so sharp that it can cut any wood material easily. There is a handle on the one side of the hand saw that helps to hold it for the cutting applications.
There are also other types of hand saws and all of them are based on a different level of quality. The quality of steel, sharpness of the teeth, and the quality of the handle vary from product to product. Some hand saw have handles on both sides. This kind of cutting saw was used for the cutting of huge logs of wood.
Two persons are required for that cutting job. Both of them have to hold the saw from both sides then they place the saw on the log. The first person pulls the saw toward himself then the same thing is done by the second person. This step is repeated till then the log is cut down.
Requirements of Objects for 45 Degree Angle Cutting
Some equipment required for the cutting of 45 degrees are pencil, scale, hand saw, clamps, and angle finder or a miter box. All these tools will help to cut any cutting material with that specific angle. Although many other machines can cut the wood and other materials with that angle which is required for the specific circumstances. There is a cutting machine named the mitre saw for such kind of cutting process. This machine has a mitre in it with different kinds of angles that help to cut the material according to the requirement.
It is very simple to use. Just put your cutting object in the mitre by setting the specific angle. Start the machine, the blade will cut within a few seconds. This machine is good for this job but it will cost you because you have to purchase the machine from the store. The one thing is more that is the consumption of electricity. So why there is a need to go for that equipment which will cost you if you have Hand Saw for this purpose that is easy to use.
How to use an angle finder?
Angle finder is a tool that consists of two measuring scales that are holed with the help of a gauge. This is used for marking the cutting material for the specific angle by checking the readings on the scale. Place your cutting object on a table and use clamps for holding that so that it cannot move. If you do not have clamps then use your knees for stability. Use your angle finder and find out your desired angle then mark with a pencil. Then use your hand saw and cut the object according to the marking area.
How to use a mitre box?
Mitre box is a tool that has different types of angles in it. It is a box-like tool that has several shapes of cutting in it with different angles. Most of the mitre boxes only have 45 and 90-degree angles in them. But there is also some box which has several angles but they are huge in shape.
A mitre box is mostly used for the cutting of wood and plastic pipes. Put your cutting object in the box by setting your specific angle that is required for the cutting then cut through with help of the hand saw. It has space in the shape of the angle where the hand saw can be fit and move between it easily.
Other Simple Processes
Some other processes can be used for the cutting of wood with a 45-degree angle. For that, you can use a triangle scale that has a 45-degree angle on its slope. Simply place it on the wood and mark the cutting point. Use a pencil with dark color so that you can see the cutting spot. After marking the cutting point place your hand saw on the marked line according to the angle and start cutting the wood. The same process can be used for other materials like plywood, plastic pipes, and vinyl wood.
There is also another scale that comes in the shape of D. it has different kinds of angles from 0 to 360 degrees. Place it on your cutting object and mark the central point and that angle which you want. Draw a line between both the points and then cut the wood with help of the hand saw.
