Wood Working Saws

Wood working saws teeth are usually set teeth are bent slightly outwards from the blade, alternately in each direction, so that the width of the slot cut by the saw is greater than the width of the blade. This prevents the saw jamming in the slot when cutting and lets you change the direction of the cut slightly during sawing. An even set is essential: badly set saws tend to wander.

For years, saw blades have been made from hardened steel which has been tempered to reduce the hardness (and increase the toughness) so that the blade wears well but is still soft enough to be sharpened with a file. More recently, saws have been introduced which have ‘hardpoint’ teeth the tips of the teeth are hardened to reduce wear. Saws with hard-point teeth can have several times the life of a conventional saw, but they cannot be sharpened by conventional methods and they are much more easily damaged when they meet a nail in their path.
