Best Answer

A tenon saw has a rigid, solid rectangular blade about 12inches long and 3-4 inches wide, and around a 1/32 inch thick and has a reinforcing strip of metal along the top edge of the blade to keep it straight and rigid. It is used for cutting wood joints accurately, and can only cut in straight lines. A copingsaw, however has a much thinner narrow blade stretched in a frame shaped like a 'D' with the upright of the 'D' being the blade. The handle is in line with the blade. Coping saws are used for cutting round and complicated shapes out of wood (or, with a suitable blade, metal). The thin blade means that the saw is able to cut out complex shapes accurately as the saw blade can reach small corners and follow quite complex shapes. A fret saw is very similar to a coping saw except that the 'D' shaped frame is very elongated and the blade very fine and thin. This saw is used for cutting intricate decorative shapes out of thin wood. A scroll saw is a motorised fret or coping saw where the blade moves up and down through a metal table. Instead of moving the blade through the wood or metal, the wood or metal is moved round the moving blade, producing the intricate cut.

A tenon saw has a stiffener plate on top of the blade and the blade is generally shorter than a hand saw. -I have a few of both and all my tenon saws are 16-18 inch blades, while my handsaws are 20-30 inch blades.

A hacksaw is a saw with disposable blades to cut metals. A coping saw has a much thinner and shorter blade and is intended to cut very intricate curves in thin wood.

A coping saw has a very thin,narrow blade for cutting small curves. A tenon saw has a very broad and tough blade with a backing re-inforcement and it's for cutting short straight cuts.
