Cutting in the reverse stroke - a new sawing technique to revolutionise woodworking
Conventional saws are pushed, calling for a relatively strong, thick blade to guarantee sufficient stability. Japanese saws, conversely, are designed to be pulled. This allows the blades to be produced extremely thin as they are only exposed to tensile forces and are not able to become buckled.
Instructions for use:
It is generally best to hold the saw in the centre of the handle. For precision cuts with short reverse strokes, the saw can be guided in the front third / for fast cuts with long strokes, in the rear
third.
Generally the saw should be guided to the workpiece at a flat angle of inclination (appr. 10°)
