FAMEX 5510 Japanese Saw - Ryoba

The FAMEX 5510 Ryoba saw is easily recognized by its double-sided teeth. One side is designed for crosscutting, while the other is ideal for rip cuts. This versatility makes the Ryoba saw one of the most popular hand saws. One side can be used for finer cuts, and the other for coarser cuts. The Ryoba saw is excellent for clean crosscuts and precise rip cuts, making it a favorite for fine carpentry and workshop use.

The Pull-Cut System

Unlike Western saws, the Ryoba works on a pull stroke, requiring significantly less effort and providing greater control. This design ensures straighter and more accurate cuts compared to conventional saws, guaranteeing precise results. The trapezoidal teeth are suited for cuts across the grain, while the triangular teeth on the other side are specifically designed for cuts along the grain. Flush cuts are also achievable, making the Ryoba saw an excellent choice for furniture-making projects.

The Blade

The Ryoba blade is much thinner and more flexible than traditional saw blades, enabling exceptionally clean, fast, and efficient cuts. It’s perfect for flush cuts and tasks such as trimming door frames and door leaves when laying parquet or laminate. Made from high-quality carbon steel, the blade offers outstanding durability and a longer service life.

Special Tooth Design

The "SHARK" tooth design features three extremely sharp cutting edges, diamond-ground for precision. This minimizes the risk of frayed edges, reducing or eliminating the need for post-processing. The saw has two tooth configurations: one side with 17 teeth per inch (TPI) for finer cuts, and the other with 9 TPI for coarser cuts.
