Hello,
I am currently trying to use less electricals tools when i can. And i like the workout associated with such activities
I plan to gather pallets/branchs and various wood leftover to cut them into
small pieces of wood for a small "camp" stove which i would use for small cooking/boiling.

I am a bit overwelmed by the choices of tools between :

  • Crosscut Saw
  • Panel Saw
  • Tooth Saw
  • Pruning Saw
    Which one would be the most approriate ?

Please do not burn pallets under any circumstances. They’re against the safety rule for a reason and doubly so for burning.

For the branches, you’ll be best off with a very rough bow/pruning saw

Wood grows in long, strong fibers and different saws will have different geometry to help them perform their function better. Further, different shapes or features will also create subcategories.

Crosscuts saws have teeth designed to be perpendicular to those long fibers, they will look kind a series of knives.

Tooth (rip) saw are to go parallel to the fibers and will look like a series of chisels

#

Size and shape will be after that

A panel saw refers to around 50cm or so and will be used for rough dimensions.

A backsaw has a “spine” attached to the back of the sawplate, adding rigidity but greatly limiting capacity. This permits much finer control and are used almost exclusively for joinery

#

A bow saw refers to the structure used to hold a thin blade in tension and is similar to a backsaw but often has more capacity
