Flush Cut Wood Tools

Flush Cut Handheld Saws

• Flush cut handheld saw tools come in a variety of shapes and sizes. These saws need a firm handle that the hand can grasp comfortably. Wide blades with longer saw teeth work on large surfaces such as hardwood floors. Use flush cut saws with smaller, thinner blades to cut wood pieces to be used for furniture. Flush cut saws with double-sided blades allow for smoothing the surface with a back-and-forth motion. Purchase saws online for as little as $15 as of December 2010.

Flexible Flush Cut Saw

• This handheld tool provides a thin blade that flexes with the contour of the wood. Some furniture, fireplace mantels and banisters feature curved wood designs. The flexible flush cut saw meets the challenge of cutting any protruding element left after fastening down the curved wood item. Making small, delicate pieces of furniture and other small wood items, such as cutting boards and boxes, requires using thin flexible blades for a finer finish.

Flush Cut Power Saws

• These saws use electricity to add power to the cut. They not only slice off wooden dowels and plugs, but they also saw off nonferrous metal and plastic protrusions. Flush cut power saws come with multiple blades and clamps. Some of the blades copy handheld flush cut saws in appearance. Circular blades work well on other materials such as plastic and fiberglass. Hardware stores sell blade attachments separate from the power saw. Power saws cost much more than handheld models. A flush cut power saw runs over $200. Other types of power saws offer the option to attach a flush cut blade.
