Crosscutting with an inserted tooth saw

[dave28]

Have just come by an old 24 inch inserted tooth saw blade which I've fitted to a belt driven cast iron saw bench. I had a couple of these saws a few years ago that I used for ripping and pointing stakes and had a larger one in a rack saw. I was always told not to use these type of saws for crosscutting. This 24inch saw runs well and sounds good, it rips well and seems to crosscut without any obvious problems. As well as using it for ripping I'd like to use it for crosscutting logs as it cuts very well and is much easier to sharpen than a normal plate blade. Wondered if anyone has any experience of crosscutting with these saws.Thanks.
