Coping saws are handy, all–purpose saws for both straight and curved cuts and are essential for certain tasks like cope–cutting an inside miter for profiled trim. A simple, quick cut is just that with a coping saw, versus hauling out and electrifying a power tool. You're able to get right to work and a few strokes later you're done. It makes a great saw for kids; easy to handle and safe (with adequate supervision). The rigid chrome-plated steel frame takes standard 6–1/2" pin-end blades and provides a 5" depth of cut. The blade can be turned 360° and flipped end for end to cut on the push or pull stroke. Blade tension is applied by either turning the 4–1/2" wood handle end or the unique knurled-nut tension knob at the opposite end. 12-1/2" overall length. Includes a single 15 TPI blade.
