I have two Japanese style pull saws. One is a flush trim saw, the sort you would use for trimming dowels off flush to a surface, the other is a stiffened back style. The teeth are very small and sharp. It takes a bit of getting used to, starting the saw on the push stroke. The really nice thing though is tat the blade doesn't flex when pushing and of course it doesn't flex when pulling.
These little saws just slice through wood beautifully and cut a very fine kerf. The handles are more like knife handles. ----- Original Message ----- From: carl To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 31, 2009 7:51 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] any joiners about i was listening to a woodworking magazine a wile ago and the japanies hav made a verry thin bladed saw and this works as it is a pull saw has anyone had a play with one yet?
