This British Standard classifies types and specifies certain dimensional aspects of tenon and dovetail saws for cutting timber. The hardness levels and finish of the saw blades are specified and provision is made for testing the qualities of the complete saw.
Four classes of tenon saw are specified and, in each class, saws from 200 mm to 350 mm in length are available.
This Part of BS 3159 applies to dovetail saws of 200 mm length.
