Quoted By:
Timber crosscut saws cut on both the push and pull stroke, look at OP's picture, you will see that it is a champion tooth pattern. The 2 teeth are set in different directions and are slightly higher than the rakers, the teeth score either side of the kerf and then the raker chisels up the noodle into the gullet. You will also notice the hole for the auxillary handle to be moved to the end of the saw.
I dont know why this clown is referencing jap saws in this thread, its like talking about tack hammers in a sledge hammer thread.
