The Handsaw is a RedPower2 tool which can be used to cut solid blocks into Micro Blocks. These components can then be used to decorate or build certain things. Two or more components can be put back together to reform into a previous block or a new one. The type of component crafted depends on the handsaw position in the crafting table.

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).  The Hollow Blocks also can have jacketed wires and pneumatic tubes go through their center.

Currently, in version 3.1.3, hollow blocks appear to be broken and unable to be made.
