hand sawing
Cutting without power
Hand sawing is cutting material—usually wood—using a manual saw rather than a power tool.
The term emphasizes the physical effort and control involved: Hand sawing takes longer but gives you more precision on delicate cuts.
It can also describe the back-and-forth motion itself, which appears in exercise movements and other contexts.
