Saw (3D cut)
Saws are the oldest form of mass cutting, having been applied to continuous working machines since the Romans (Grewe, 2010). While circular saws pose a geometrical constraint of only producing planar cuts, a stereotomic work that takes this into account may benefit greatly from the speed and accuracy of the cutting, as in the large ashlar dome in Istres (Gautier, 2002). Circular saw (Figure 57) cutting may also be used as a first approximation pass, before a finishing is applied with another tool, as in the case of the Armadillo Vault voussoirs.
