Sarah
Tabitha Babbitt was born in 1779 in Massachusetts. She was a Shaker (a form of Quakerism). She came from a forestry family and in 1810
she invented the circular saw to make cutting logs easier. As a Shaker she didn't believe in patenting
her idea and therefore she didn't make any money from it when it was adopted in
the industry.
