Are there different kind of saws for sawing through wood?
I don’t mean logs or thick bits, just some ordinary 2 x 1 and similar?
Ooh dear, I hardly dare say this, but I shall not find out unless I ask . . why does the saw I’ve just bought only go one way?
I can pull it towards me to start off the cut, but it won’t go back the other way - pushing it away.
Never had a problem before with any other saw, so don’t you men start blaming my technique either!
The teeth are very different from my old saw, they are much bigger and deeper cut, but I assumed it was because my old saw was so ancient and blunt they had worn down.
I thought this one would be nice and quick to saw stuff, but it’s a nightmare and just breaks big splinters off the wood.
I don’t know what the flippin’ thing is called, you men are just confusing me more with all these names.
It just looks like an ordinary saw but with big teeth, that’s all I know.
I can’t use it, it’s no good at all.
I would take it back but I’ve shredded the flippin receipt. :roll:
It’s the same shape as the second one Nom, but with big teeth.
I’ve just been out to the shed to look at it again and it has got just 7 & half teeth to an inch.
I couldn’t measure the length of the teeth in inches, so I tried millimetres instead, and the teeth are 5 mm’s long - I think. My old saw’s were only half as long as that.
Does that make any more sense?
As I said before, no matter how hard I push the darn thing, it won’t go forwards, it just breaks long splinters of wood off if I force it.
Ooh don’t Tess, I’ve got enough troubles as it is.
I get so cross and frustrated when something that should be simple - isn’t!
You wouldn’t have thought me a lady at all if you’d have heard me cursing this afternoon in the garden.
Please dont use this again you could do yourself some harm, i will leave the tooth sizes and type to the joiners among us, tis along time since i was art school and they will advise you better than i.
Anyhow glad to see your tackling things yourself, respect to you, and us blokes can sleep safer at night.
My old saw’s were only half as long as that.
