What is a combi saw? |

 |
A combi saw combines the characteristics of two or more different saws in one single design.
The most commonly-found combi saw is a combination of a bow saw and a hacksaw. |

The metal frame is usually shorter than a regular bow saw’s, but has a larger throat depth than a regular hacksaw. For more information, see our section:
Generally, combi saws of this kind will accept 300mm hacksaw and bow saw blades, and will usually come with one of each. |

 |
Hacksaw blades are designed for plastic and metal, while bow saw blades are designed for wet or dry wood (i.e tree branches or shrubs).
Having a combi saw means you only need one tool for both these applications, as opposed to buying both a hacksaw and a bow saw. Buy this and an angle grinder and we’ve got most bases covered. |

Removing or installing a blade on a combi saw is usually done in the same way as a regular bow saw. | |||
