Backsaws

/ˈbækˌsɔz/ noun

Definition

Plural of backsaw; multiple reinforced saws used for precise cutting.

Etymology

Regular English plural of 'backsaw' formed by adding '-s'.

Kelly Says

Professional woodworkers will own 3-5 backsaws in different sizes because each handles different wood grain directions differently—it's the difference between a 10-minute cut and a frustrating 45-minute struggle against tearout.
