It's handy for general lumber, for plywood, \u0026amp; for laminate board too. The saw features a metal spine back which gives the saw very accurate straight cuts, \u0026amp; the blade has a special rounded nose which allows the ability to start in the middle of a panel. The teeth are impulse hardened which makes the blade tough \u0026amp; durable for prolonged life \u0026amp; wear. The blade can be removed when\/if needed to be replaced.

Their teeth are very precise \u0026amp; are angled towards the handle; this allows you to cut with great efficiency \u0026amp; control, resulting in precise straight cuts. Another benefit with cutting on the pull-stroke is that you are able to follow your cutting line, giving you accurate \u0026amp; smoother cuts. The blades on Japanese saws are generally constructed of a thinner steel which produces a finer kerf (space left by the blade). Another major benefit by cutting on the pull-stroke is that less force \u0026amp; effort is required when sawing, leaving you not as fatigued when working. Western saws (push saws) on the other hand, typically have teeth that cut on the push stroke. By cutting on a push stroke, the wood will splinter \u0026amp; chip away from you (which is desired in certain circumstances). Western saws typically have thicker blades to keep from bending out when pushing through the cut; they also generally create a larger kerf than Japanese saws. Many Japanese Saws also have blades that disassemble from the handle, making storage easy for a small bag or toolbox. Also, one can get replaceable blades for their Japanese saws when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e   Hardwick \u0026amp; Sons is pleased to offer quality tools from Japan for the many people who desire special \u0026amp; well-crafted tools.
