Is there anything in this pack similar to the hand saws I've used in other packs? I want vertical slabs, "pillars", and corners when using my wood and stone.
Forge Micropart is most likely what you're looking for, and it is in the pack. The saws available in Infinity 1.0.1 are the Stone Saw, Iron Saw, Diamond Saw, Golden Saw, Ruby Saw, Sapphire Saw, and Peridot Saw, in the order that they show up in NEI.
The cutting recipes are the same as in Redpower 2: put the saw above the block you want to cut in half in the crafting grid to cut it vertically, halving the thickness of the block, turning a full block into a slab into a panel into a cover; or to the left to cut it horizontally, turning a cover into a strip into a nook. Craft two microblocks of the same size, shape, and material together to get one of the next size up; or craft eight slabs/panels/covers together in a circle in a crafting grid to get eight hollow slabs/panels/covers. Do note that you can't actually craft the various intermediate sizes found in RP2- you can create those by clicking a microblock in-world with another of the same shape and material. Also, you can't craft RP2's pillars (the ones that look like strips, but go in the center of the block) either- FMP pillars, posts, and strips can be placed in the center of a block without any need for extra crafting.
There's also a key you can press to change where microblocks are placed (usually up above the place where you click), but I don't remember what the default is or what it's called in the Controls menu.
