What saws you got ?

I always found it a trifle ironic, that we in Western/European culture, quite naturally and instinctively, pull a handsaw to start an accurate cut, but then insist in push-cutting to cut.

I can only presume the human musculature can generate more power pushing, hence the development of our push cutting saws.

Steve, do you have one of those Japanese style push/pull fine saws. I'm contemplating getting one, but not got a clue about them. Just from what I have read they are supposed to be great for fine cuts.

no i do not.

 

i never found a need for one.

Oriental carpentry is always on the pull, dunno why occidentals like a push cut :/ k

572, 576, 560x2 and 550 for daily use (cutting firewood and a bit of felling). A top handle oleo Mac (I'll probably be told off for having one on the ground ;)) and a load of oleo mac saws in pieces and on a drill because they uses to be our go to saws.

 

A couple of eighties stihls somewhere as well.

The living ones:

 

880 mainly milling now, couple of stems a year

660 go-to big saw

462 used daily

461 gathers dust now the 462's here

460, rebuilt after a smash, as new, garage shelf ornament as the 461 took over

61 rancher, first "big" saw gathers dust

560 money pit, would be used daily if it didn't have the reliability of a land rover

261 used daily

023 first saw, sat next to the 61 now

201tcm used daily

200t backup topper

020t ported 

338xpt, new, never used, gathers dust

192t pointless saw

150t x2 used daily when pruning 

 

Tempted to try a 50-60cc Echo next
