A coping saw is a type of hand-held saw featuring a thin, flexible blade that is held in tension by a U-shaped frame. Coping saws are designed for making precise, intricate cuts in wood, particularly in tight curves or corners. They are commonly used in woodworking and carpentry to cut molding, trim, or other decorative elements, and require skilled handling and control to achieve accurate cuts. Coping saws are not to be confused with band saws, which are power tools.
