What is keyhole saw?

A keyhole saw is a type of handsaw that is used for cutting small, intricate shapes in wood or drywall. It typically has a long, thin blade with a sharp point and a handle that allows for precision cutting in tight spaces.

Keyhole saws are commonly used for cutting keyhole-shaped holes in doors and cabinets for hanging hardware, as well as for making detailed cuts in trim work and other woodworking projects. They are also commonly used in drywall installations for cutting small openings for outlets, switches, and other fixtures.

Keyhole saws are available in a variety of blade lengths and tooth designs, depending on the specific cutting requirements. Some keyhole saws have adjustable blades that can be set at different angles for cutting curves and other intricate shapes.

When using a keyhole saw, it is important to wear protective eyewear and gloves to prevent injury. It is also important to use the saw with a steady hand and to make slow, controlled cuts to ensure an accurate and clean finish.
