Massize saw

For advanced sawyers only.

History:

In ancient Egypt, saws made of copper are documented as early as the Early Dynastic Period, circa 3,000–2,800.^{[1][page needed]}Examples of saws and models of saws have been found in many contexts throughout Egyptian history. Particularly useful are tomb wall illustrations of carpenters at work that show sizes and the use of different types. Egyptian saws were set with the teeth projecting only on one side, rather than in the modern fashion with the more advantageous alternating set.

According to Chinese tradition, the saw was invented by Lu Ban.^[2] In Greek mythology, as recounted by Ovid,^[3] Talos, the nephew of Daedalus, invented the saw. In archeological reality, saws date back to prehistory and most probably evolved from Neolithicstone or bone tools. "[T]he identities of the ax, adz, chisel, and saw were clearly established more than 4,000 years ago.
