 Japanese
saws are finding favor more and more in every sort of manual woodworking
because of their superb cutting performance. As European saws require
pressure to achieve a cut, the blade (of a crosscut saw, for instance) has
to be fairly thick to withstand the pressure exerted on it. Japanese saws,
however, cut on the pull stroke. Thus the strain on them is much less, and
the blade can be made much thinner. A thin blade produces less sawdust
than a thick blade and consequently cuts faster with less effort on the
user's part. The B3 Big Bear Brand saws offer this efficiency at reasonable prices. |
