Japanese Compact Universal Carpenter Woodworking Small Surface Saw Blade 200mm - Made in Japan

Handy and compact Can be used on the go, and for maximum control of detail work. Handle with a 10 mm hole for the hook, short and curved handle made of elastomer resin (synthetic rubber) Handling 380 mm total length Ideal for work between studs and other small surfaces. Can be used in all cutting directions (vertical, horizontal and diagonal) Blade size: 200 mm // Pitch: 1.75 mm (gap between each tooth) // Blade thickness: 0.5 mm // Kerf / Traveling: 0.7 mm (thickness of the cutting line left by the blade) Ideal for cross-cutting (cross-sectional or length) in exotic hardwoods as well as laminated timbers or panels. With conventional saws, cutting is done by pushing. This requires a relatively large blade thickness to ensure sufficient stability. With Japanese saws, on the other hand, the cutting is done by pulling. The blade can therefore be very thin because it only undergoes a pulling force and cannot left. As a result, the saw line is thinner and the cutting force is consequently significantly less. Known as a pioneer in the Japanese hand saw manufacturing industry, all Z-Saw saws feature an easy-to-change blade and replaceable handle. First company in Japan to introduce hard pulse heating treatment, which is known as one of the great innovations to maximize sawtooth hardness.
