Set Includes:
M-180R a combination saw for making cuts with the grain of the wood (Rip cuts) on one edge and for making cuts across the grain (Cross cuts) using the other edge.
M-190D a saw with a rigid spine for very accurate cutting (Tenon cuts)
J-180 a flexible saw with no tooth set for making trimming cuts (Flush cuts)
With these three saws in your workshop you will always have the correct blade to hand whether cutting down a large panel, hand cutting a tenon joint or trimming off a plugged screw head.
Advantages of a pull saw:
- Because they cut on the Pull stroke – They can be made from very thin material
- Because they are made from very thin material – They only require a fraction of the effort to make a cut
- Because they are effortless to use – They are much more controllable & accurate than a traditional western saw
- They are manufactured from Electro Impulse hardened steel – They stay sharp for longer
