Zetsaw Rip H-250 Japanese Saw

Model No: 15009

Description:

The Zetsaw Rip H-250 is an Anahiki-nokogiri Japanese Saw. Traditionally, Anahiki-nokogiri were crosscut saws, used for cutting logs, beams and other rough dimensioning work. Today, anahiki-nokogiri are the most popular carpentry saw amongst Japanese woodworkers, as it's ideal for cutting across various types of solid wood.

The Kataba blade of this saw has a variable tooth pitch, making it ideal rip cuts along the grain of solid wood. The teeth are impulse hardened for greater blade longevity, and has an effective cutting length of 250mm.

Benefits & Features:

Kataba Blade: The Hassunme length blade is engineered to tackle any rip cutting tasks that may be required.

Rip Cut Teeth: These teeth have a variable pitch that is specifically designed for fast cuts along the wood grain, and makes for a smooth initial incision.

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: 250mm of effective cutting, with an overall blade length of 287mm.

Blade Thickness: 0.5mm.

Blade Pitch: Variable.

Kerf: 0.7mm. Cuts with the Zetsaw Rip H-250 Japanese Saw produce less sawdust and reduce wood waste, than conventional Western saws.
