This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word (http://daily.tomisimo.org/) for January 16, 2010
sierra de vaivén (feminine noun (la)) — jigsaw, saber saw, reciprocating saw. Look up sierra de vaivén in the dictionary (http://www.tomisimo.org/dictionary/spanish_english/sierra de vaiven)
Uso la sierra de vaivén para cortar curvas en madera.
I use a jigsaw to cut curves in wood.
Note:
jigsaw = caladora (Mex)

How would one pronounce that with the apostrophe?

Digo yo que será "vaivén" :thinking: (no entiendo de sierras, pero vaivén es una palabra y viavén no es nada). ;)
Ahora que leo "caladora", aquí he oído "sierra de calar", pero no sé muy bien qué es. :D

Oh my! How weird, you're right! My e-mail for the DSW has an apostrophe. Which is strange because my e-mail always handles accents and tildes just fine. Do you get the DSW e-mail? Is yours right?

The dictionary says "sierra de vaivén" for jigsaw. Fretsaw means "sierra de calar" and "sierra de marquetería". I'm sure that "sierra de marquetería" is not the same that "sierra de calar".
Well, I don't know anything about saws, but "viavén" means nothing. ;)

Sierra caladora o de marquetería es lo mismo. De vaivén sería eléctrica. Aunque las primeras también pueden ser eléctricas.
Busqué en Google Images tanto en inglés como en castellano y me salió lo mismo.

En el cole hicimos algo de marquetería con esta sierra de marquetería:

I can tell you with certainty: the above sierra de marquetería is a fretsaw, and the electrical one is a jigsaw. :)

Reading the DW's post, a jigsaw is a "caladora", and that would be "una sierra de vaivén". Though thinking of the word "vaivén" (va y viene), a handsaw (serrucho) would be "de vaivén", since you must push and bring nearer the saw. :)

Yes, you're right :p. But I thought a handsaw had a clearer image :thinking:
Isn't a circular saw a sierra de calar? Well, I don't understand about saw, as I said, but the DW says that it is use to cut curves. Does a circular saw cut curves? :confused:

Does a circular saw cut curves? :confused:Oh Dear Oh Dear. :p A circular saw is wheel with teeth which rotates very fast, and is very dangerous. And it's one very good feature is that it cuts only in an exact straight line. :lol::)
