Thread: A revelation...

My Ryoba saw arrived this morning, x cut one side and rip t'other. X cut some pine with it and the finish was remarkable.

It was a 40 buck special from the US; click

Good buy, Ern.

Enjoy!

.....

Thanks Neil; it's a gem.

Kicking myself I didn't get a spare blade at the same time; oh well.

And it's novel hanging the bench hook into the bench well to make the cuts!

Must say the config of the x cut teeth is fascinating.

Yes, nothing like any Western style saw I know of, and they do take a bit of getting used to if you resharpen them yourself. Not that this type are meant to be resharpened, but had to get the special feather file for the ones that are meant to be resharpened and found that a light touch up on the impact hardened teeth will extend the useful life of the disposable blade for a while. Probably not worth the effort, but can get keep you going until you get a replacement blade, and nothing lost if you don't get it right.

Thanks for that insight Neil.

A whole new realm of challenge ;-}
