For general lumber, a good hand saw or rotary powered saw is great.
For the finer woods used in cabinetmaking, there are smaller electric saws with finer teeth that help prevent the fraying of the cut edge on paneling and such.
Hand saws. For larger jobs cutting a straight line you would use either a cross-cut saw or a rip saw, for smaller jobs a tenon saw; a fret saw for cutting curves and shapes.
ANS 2 -Many saws are good for cutting wood, but each has a slightly different purpose. -I have 8 different power saws for wood, and 3 hand saws - and I don't by any means think of myself as a 'carpenter', -just a guy who wants to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
In case you're interested, my 8 power saws are a 5" left hand Skilsaw, an 8 1/2 inch DeWalt rotary, a 7 1/4 Skil Worm-drive, a DeWalt recip.saw, a Bosch Jig-saw, an Elu 'finishing' 9" Mitre saw, a DeWalt 12" compound mitre saw and a DeWalt 10" portable table saw. -Each one is best for its own particular purpose.
