A Handsaw is used to cut blocks into halved components. Two or more components can be put back together. The type of component crafted depends on the handsaw position in the crafting table.

Recipe

Iron Handsaw

The basic Iron Handsaw can only cut Wood and Wool into microblocks. The iron handsaw cannot cut stone or any highergrade blocks.

Gem Handsaws

Mid-tier Gem Handsaws can cut all microblocks except Obsidian and Diamond Blocks. Gem Handsaws are recommended unless you specifically need Obsidian or Diamond microblocks.

Diamond Handsaw

The final grade of Handsaw is the Diamond Handsaw, and is the only handsaw capable of cutting Obsidian and Diamond Blocks into microblocks. It is also the only saw capable of cutting Silicon Boules ; therefore, the Diamond Handsaw is critical to many RedPower2 recipes.

Usage

Blocks

These can be combined horizontally in any way to make a block of any eighth thickness.

1/8 -	Cover
1/4 -	Panel
3/8 -	Triple Cover
1/2 -	Slab

5/8 -	Cover Slab
3/4 -	Triple Panel
7/8 -	Anticover
8/8 -	Block

Hollow Blocks

There are hollow versions of slabs, panels, covers,etc. To make them, cut your desired block into cover blocks (or whatever thickness you prefer) and arrange the microblocks in a chest format. To put wires through a hollow block hold down ctrl and f while placing the wire through it. (This seems to work only with redpower wires; unconfirmed).

Strips

Two same-sized strips placed horizontally can be glued back together to make the corresponding block.

Corners

Two Corner pieces stacked vertically can be glued back together to make the corresponding Strip.
