A frame saw or sash saw is a type of saw which consists of a relatively narrow and flexible blade held under tension within a (generally wooden) rectangular frame (also called a sash or gate). They are used for cutting wood or stone. The blade is held perpendicular to the plane of the frame, so that the material being cut passes through the center of the frame. Frame saws for use with wood are rip saws operated as a hand saw or powered in a sawmill. Frame saws used for cutting stone were powered saws in stone mills.

∙ 9y agoA 'frame saw' is an old fashioned woodsaw intended for sawing small logs etc on a sawhorse. Generally they have an upright wood bar at each end connected by a pivot bar in the middle (kind of in an H shape ). The blade is usually about 24 " long with 4 - 8 teeth per inch. The blade mounts in a slot at the lower end or each upright and a 'tension bar' connects the upper ends. In this fashion the blade is tensioned by rotating the tension bar , drawing the upper ends closer and pulling the lower ends apart. - There are modern versions of this known as "Swedish saws". These are an metal frame in the shape of a elongated 'U' and the blade fits between the open ends and is tensioned by means of a nut on the end of the blade mounting.
