description Tabitha Babbitt Overview
Tabitha Babbitt was a Shaker toolmaker in the United States who is traditionally credited with proposing the circular saw for use in sawmills. The attribution places the idea in the early nineteenth century at the Shaker community in Harvard, Massachusetts, where she observed limitations of the reciprocating pit saw. Babbitt did not patent the design, consistent with the Shakers' practice of treating useful innovations as communal property.
