@RaptorTroll360 Год назад

I know which saw is better, as a matter of fact it's a very simple answer - it depends, on nuances. But the average person is not all that smart, and the most vocal ones are even less so, and nuance requires brain power to process (as a saying in my country goes, an empty barrel can be heard from afar, meaning that empty headed people are usually the loudest.) Stupid people hate nuance and love to think themselves right.

@jordancambridge4106 Год назад

Wow you are wrong so wrong. First that Japanese one took about 15 years to make and takes about 5 years to learn how to use and 10 more years to master and will snap if slightly used wrong. The American saw can be used both forward and back. The American one is instantly able to learn and takes no time at all to master. The Japanese is poor quality far more expensive and just trash. The Japanese saw will cost over $5000 while the American saw is about $5. Is one better yes its the American made. Japanese does make second best quality in the world which when you look at how bad Japanese quality really is then you start to realize why America became known as the single greatest country in the world.

Not going to lie, I don't necessarily think that children should be working with saws, at least not while they're young enough to be doing things instinctively with both arms like that. It feels like a skill that should wait until there may be between 10 and 12, just for safeties sake. There are plenty of other things that can be taught to them before getting into saws to give him a solid foundation in woodworking.

@richardmoore609 Год назад

The biggest problem people have with western style saws is they don't let the saw do the cutting. They try and push down and that drives the blade in different directions. Also doesn't help a lot of people use dull saws and try and think pushing harder will fix the problem. Like a chainsaw, you need to let the saw do the cutting.

@DieGoetterdaemmerung Год назад

I see this a lot with beginners, they don't use the entirety of the sawblade and push down instead of letting the saw do all the work. I'm from germany and in trade school our instructors used to say "Säge sowie Schwanz, benutzt man ganz!" "Saw just like dick, use all of it" maybe a little crude but got the message across to a bunch of 16-18 year old boys haha

@kugelblitz1557 Год назад

My only problem is that with a western saw sometimes it will stick in the wood and since pressure is only applied from behind and it has more traction so to speak on the push stroke it's more likely to bend under pressure whereas on the pull stroke it's under tension causing it to stay straight more easily even if it gets caught. Maybe it has to do with what I'm cutting though.

@dontbother2455 Год назад

When I was younger I used the American saw all the time once I learned how to use it properly it was pretty easy and to be honest was the better version in my book because of how after you learn to use it it allows you to have a free hand to maneuver the wood and is much more stable with less risk of cutting yourself from a saw slide

@martinhawes5647 Год назад

Very good point about straightening

@clayrydick4561 Год назад

The thin blade is also what gives them a lot of appeal/common advantages. Because they are so thin, it is far easier to be precise and you waste less wood. As you saw, some western ones have a thin blade with a structural support on top, but this means it can’t be used to cut through thicker pieces. However, it’s very easy to permanently damage a Japanese saw, and much harder to damage a western on. At the end of the day, a sharp saw, of any type preferred by the user is the best saw

I liked the way a Japanese saw with aggressive crosscut teeth could quickly remove branches from a tree (and I still like that). When I started woodworking, however, I struggled to cut straight with one. As you said, if you don't start the cut precisely, the cut is just going to go where it wants to go. Then I found a 100 year old Spear & Jackson dovetail saw, learned to sharpen it, and I haven't looked back. Much easier for me to get a precise cut. I also found a 4 tpi Disston rip saw, and I can quickly and accurately tear through boards with that thing (though the surface is a bit rough).

One of the biggest pros and cons: japanese saws cant be sharpened. They have induction hardened teeth and if you dull those it is always a toss. Western saws on the other hand can and have to be filed and set as often as you like

@JustiaFiat Год назад

There are japanese saws than can be hardened and Western saws that cant. It's a Material question and doesn't have anything to do with the Style in general

@harlicon Год назад

@@JustiaFiat That's just not true. There is surely the 1% that is different from the other 99% but the majority is as stated above

@Mosstachio Год назад

@@harlicon Yeah, because they had the technology in ancient Japan to induction harden the teeth. Bro. Admit you're wrong. I've never even heard of induction hardening, and can't see how that would work on just the teeth since the teeth would need to be completely encircled by the induction coil. If it was the whole blade, sure. However, the process of hardening is just heating to the desired temp, then quenched at the desired rate. The speed at which you heat doesn't matter, but uniformity of heating does matter to an extent. Induction heating heats more uniformly.

@@Mosstachio Sry mate but thats not how induction heating works. ru-vid.comMZ0nvCVH3JM?feature=share Just a short video that shows it. And those saw teeth are harder but also become brittle and cannot be filed/sharpened again

@Mosstachio Год назад

@@harlicon They can be sharpened and filed. What you're sharpening with has to be harder than the metal you're sharpening. I didn't think of doing the induction heating that way, but it still functions the same. It's just another way to harden. I would rather have a hardened edge that's harder to sharpen than an edge that folds after one stroke and is easier to sharpen

@benjamintworek Год назад

Sounds like these saws are both saws that saw

@azzajohnson2123 Год назад

I tell ya what, they always like the longer push stroke than a short pull stroke, especially when you master the single pump.

No this isnt a saw for cutting trees a chainsaw is a sledghammer sure great to have but you won’t use it to nail in a couple of nails

Outstanding answering this question for me. I kept wondering about that. I just assumed it's tradition.

I feel that Japanese saws are very good for the more deep and precise cuts, such as a deep dovetail or something of the sort. They are great for cutting the male end of dovetails for the angle specifically. A conventional saw is very good for straight cuts and material removal.
