This large saw is used mostly in forestry work and the crosscutting of large logs. The blade is 5-ft long. The saw is made from British CS80 steel with a Rockwell hardness of 44-46 and a thickness of 1.5mm to provide the superior stiffness required when cutting on long strokes.
Available with the Great American tooth pattern or the Peg (Plain) Tooth patterns The Great American tooth is specifically designed with gullets to allow sawdust to be cleared and performs especially well while cutting wet timber quickly. The Peg, or plain tooth,only has cutting teeth and no gullets, the sawdust is carried out in the small spaces between the teeth. It is best used for cutting dry, very hard, or brittle timber. Wet or resinous sawdust can bind up this tooth pattern.The teeth can be re-sharpened with a large triangular file.
