Comparative Study on Wood Working Saws of Different Gauge with Different Settings

Abstract

From time immemorial timber harvesting is associated with axe, the sole implement for felling and cross-cutting of trees and thus causing a lot of wastage of timber. They can bee minimised by using power chain saws or manual saws. In developing countries like ours power chain saws seem to be less economic for which manual saws are used widely in the country. Efforts are being made continuously for their improvement. The present study is conducted to know which is the best gauge and setting of presently available manual saws in our country.
