I have an old padsaw with a slot for the blade to pass through, like a 
single-end hacksaw handle. It came with no blade. I formed a general 
purpose line of crosscut teeth on an old hacksaw blade for cutting wood. 
Works great for this sort of thing because you can reverse the blade to 
cut on pull or push as needed, and extend the blade a little or a lot 
depending on the situation. It can be very useful. I would cut more 
blades, rip or crosscut, larger teeth or smaller, wide set or narrow as 
dictated by the job, but so far haven't felt the need.
