'''Saws''' are a tool that allows players to break wooden blocks quicker and craft certain wooden blocks (particularly planks). A saw can be used for cutting down trees, however unlike an axe only a single block is cut at a time, and cutting wood (or otherwise breaking blocks) does not use up saw durability.

== Usage ==
The saw is the only tool that can be used to create the essential building component [[boards]].
=== Harvesting ===
*To harvest plants: place the tool in an active hotbar slot and press or hold left mouse button until the block breaks and the block or resource drops. 
*Logs: A saw can be used to harvest single logs from [[trees]], (using the [[axe]] harvests multiple logs). Breaking blocks using the saw does not consume the tool's durability.
=== Combat ===
Attacking a mob (melee combat): place the tool in an active hotbar slot and press or hold left mouse button to strike the target.
''* Note: though all tools may be used as weapons, the saw has no known attack power or HP value per hit.''
=== Grid Crafting ===
Place the saw in the grid crafting slot above or beside the item to be processed. Removing the product from the output slot of the grid uses the tool. When complete, remove the tool from the grid, or close the interface by pressing 'E' to replace the tool into the inventory or hotbar.
* The saw is used to craft:
** [[boards]] used in creating [[planks]] and other wood components.
** wooden path blocks from aged [[boards]].
* The [[hammer]] + [[chisel]] + saw is used to craft:
** Craft gears, axles and rotors. See the [[mechanical power]] page for more information.
==Storage==
Tools are items commonly used by players and are generally equipped in the hotbar. Saws do not stack in inventory or when placed in containers. The [[containers#stationary container|tool rack]] is a specialized wall mounted storage container that allows players to store tools. Tool racks are made of 6 sticks in the drafting grid and once placed, can store 4 tools each. Tools are placed from an active hotbar slot and removed using the right mouse button to an empty space in the hotbar.

Grid Crafting

Place the saw in the grid crafting slot above or beside the item to be processed. Removing the product from the output slot of the grid uses the tool. When complete, remove the tool from the grid, or close the interface by pressing 'E' to replace the tool into the inventory or hotbar.
