Pros & Cons
Pros
This is the perfect tool for a beginner and someone who is not that strong. Keep an open mind, be gentle, and work towards perfecting your craft.
I'm flabbergasted. That is 100% what i expect of a japanese saw. It’s a good saw. I'm a japanese.
Clean cuts, even on particleboard. Need to shave off a bit from a cut but a plane wouldn't be practical? The flexibility allows for flush cuts at funny angles if needed.
Cons
The blade bends and bends and bent and snaps off the handle. I have a harbor freight saw that hasn't bent and is well made compared to this, how embarrassing. There a far better saws out there.
The snagging is without a doubt the worst part. It causes them to snag and pull very frequently. It gets really bad chatter too, likely on account of the teeth wanting to continuously snag.
The longer tooth side of this saw is too coarse for sawing soft wood. It requires much slower action to start and much finer control. The cuts are sloppy, too.
Highlights
Quality
The blade is made of durable steel ensuring longlasting sharpness and performance
Real solid construction and holds up great
It gets bogged down in thick boards especially the ones with messy grain
Ive been ripping and cross cutting hard walnutand it slices through it like butter
Price
They are affordable so give one a try and see if you like them as well as i do
For the price it’s the best but the handle could be a bit better
Shipping
It took forever and the saw kept veering off the line
Competitiveness
I have grown to prefer the japanese style more as they are easier to use my sawing is more accurate and they are less expensive... Read More
I think that there isnt enough gullet to deal with boards that thick
