This requiresthick blades in order to ensure sufficientstability. Japanese saws, on the other hand,are pulled, allowing the use of very thinblades, as they are only subjected to tensilestress and cannot warp. The saw kerfs are thereforefiner and the required sawingforces considerably lower.pUlling allows the use ofa thin blade and keepsthis straightpreSSUre requires a thickblade and tends to causewarpingYour advantage:easy work and little wear.Thin and clean cutsWide and coarsecuts2. clean cutting surfaces thanks to specialtooth configurationtrapezoidal teeth(crosscut teeth)Preferred for cutsacross the grain. The teeth are sharpened onthree sides in alternating fashion to cleanlysever the wood fibres with razor-blade sharpness,leaving very clean surfaces.triangular teeth(rip teeth)For sawing along thegrain (ripping). The tooth sizes vary over thesaw’s length to make it easier to start cutsand improve cutting efficiency.Universal teethA hybrid form ofthe above tooth types,for sawing across, along, and diagonally tothe grain.the advantages ofOriginal dicK ® Japanese saws:finest steel qualityimpulse-hardened tooth-by-tooth(every saw tooth has the same hardness,therefore the saw stays sharper for longer)repl.
