The FAMEX 5535 Japanese Saw belongs to the Kataba saws. This Japanese saw is a versatile "all-rounder" and is very popular. In Japan, Kataba saws are often used in woodworking. Staying true to tradition, this Japanese saw is equipped with a high-quality rattan handle. The FAMEX 5535 Japanese saw is perfect for crosscut and miter work.
The Pull-Cut System:
Unlike western saws, this Japanese saw operates on a pull motion. This means that the saw cuts are made by pulling, not pushing. With this saw, you can perform precise and controlled cuts. Additionally, the saw is well-suited for creating contact surfaces when cutting miters, for shaping, or for making steps in overlapping joints.
The Saw Blade:
Compared to western saws, this saw blade is much thinner and more flexible. This results in less effort required, giving the user more control over the saw. This allows for particularly clean, fast, and flush cuts. The blade is made from high-quality carbon steel (68-71 HRC) and has a chrome-plated surface. The electronically impulse-hardened teeth promise a longer service life.
Special Teeth Design:
The special "SHARK" teeth design with 3 cutting edges is extremely sharp. This significantly reduces the chance of encountering rough edges. As a result, post-processing is rarely necessary. The teeth of the saw are spaced 15 teeth per inch. This makes it coarse enough to efficiently and quickly remove wood, while still fine enough to produce precise and clean cuts.
