Zetsaw Cross H-265 Japanese Saw

Model No: 15003

Description:

The Zetsaw Cross H-265 is an Anahiki-nokogiri Japanese Saw. Traditionally, Anahiki-nokogiri were crosscut saws, used for cutting logs, beams and other rough dimensioning work. Today, it is the most popular carpentry saw amongst Japanese woodworkers, as it's ideal for cutting across various types of solid wood.

The Kataba blade has teeth that are impulse hardened for greater blade longevity, and has an effective cutting length of 265mm.

Benefits & Features:

Kataba Blade: The Kyusunme length blade is ideal for cross cutting swiftly and precisely, even on thick beams and other wood stock.

Cross Cut Teeth: Dedicated cross cut teeth specifically designed for smooth cuts across the grain of solid wood.

Pull Saw: Cutting on the pull stroke, rather than the push stroke, reduces the risk of blade flex whilst cutting.

Blade Replacement System: Reduces the need to get teeth sharpened and re-set, when in the middle of a project. Simply replace the blade and continue on with what you were doing. This system also means you will not have to buy a complete new saw, should the blade break. Replacement blades for this saw can be purchased here.

Hook Fixing: For easy and speedy blade replacement. No need to have multiple saws, just swap the blade out for different tasks, with compatible blades. Great for smaller workshops with limited storage space. Click here to download the PDF guide on replacing the blades on saws with hook fixing blades.

Full Rattan Handle: The solid wood handle has a full Rattan wrap, providing that traditional Japanese Saw look and feel.

Impulse Hardening Technology: Treating the teeth in this way helps keep them sharp for much longer than conventional methods. Whilst the core of the blade remains tough, yet flexible, to reduce bending and buckling during use.

Blade Length: 265mm of effective cutting, with an overall blade length of 299mm.

Blade Thickness: 0.6mm.

Blade Pitch: 1.75mm [15 TPI].

Kerf: 0.92mm. Cuts with the Zetsaw Cross H-265 Japanese Saw produce less sawdust and reduce wood waste, than conventional Western saws.
