Here is an excerpt and 2 excellent sites to explain futher: A coping saw is a type of hand saw used to cut intricate external shapes and interior cutouts in woodworking or carpentry. It is widely used to cut moldings to create coped rather than miter joints. It is also occasionally used to create fretwork though it is not able to match a fretsaw in intricacy of cut, particularly in thin materials. Coping saw blades are always thicker and much coarser cutting than typical fretsaw blades. * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coping_saw * http://www.technologystudent.com/equip1/coping1.htm
