- Scroll saw - A scroll saw is a small electric or pedal operated saw useful for cutting intricate curves where a jigsaw or coping saw is not appropriate; for it can cause "curves with edges". It is somewhat similar to a band saw, but unlike band saws, where the sawblade is a continuous loop, scroll saws use sawblades similar to those used by coping saws and operate through a reciprocating up and down motion.
- Backsaw - A Backsaw is any of several types of hand saws used in woodworking which have a stiffening rib on the edge opposite the cutting edge, allowing for better control and more precise cutting than with other types of saws. Backsaws are normally used for precise work, such as cutting dovetails, mitres, or tenons in cabinetry and joinery.
