  |
|
|
Hello~
I'd like to cut a timber(4X2) which is located between other two timbers.
There're about 2-3cm gap between.
It's absolutely impossible to use a normal saw.
What kind of tool do I need to use to cut middle timber?
Many thanks! |

It sounds like you might need a chain saw for that jun, or you could use a normal hand saw, but it will not be easy!

Can you take a picture?
It'd help a lot.
And where are you from?

not actualy shure if i understand this one
if you have 3 bits of timber in a parralel line with the 2" part showing and a gap off 1" between and you want to cut from the 1" gap accross the timber you could use a reciprical saw or a jigsaw with extended blades
if you have the restriction of a wall behind and its nailed in the ends of the wood you could possible use a bi-metal or progresive blade to cut through the nails and cut at the very end off the wood along the edge of the other bit its butted up to
or even a hacksaw blade wrapped one end with loads of tape as a handle and the teeth pointing towards the padded end
or you could use a normal sharp wood blade in your jigsaw this will cut soft nails no probs
then finnish the last 1/3 depth with the hacksaw blade untill your through the nail in the back 1/3
