Despite the fact that for the processing of wood alreadyElectrical devices such as Japanese Ryobi saws have been widely used for a long time, hand tools are often simply indispensable in the manufacture of many carpentry and carpentry. In application it is more universal and autonomous (does not require connection to the power grid or recharging the battery). The assortment of these products is expanding year by year. Among professionals and amateurs in recent years, the so-called Japanese saw has become increasingly popular. The name of the instrument does not mean that it is made in the Land of the Rising Sun. Simply, these adaptations have a specific form and features in use, which are a wonder to Russian, European and North American users.
Initially, constructivefeatures of Japanese saws. And if the form of the canvas for some models is quite traditional for us, then the handle of the instrument is very unusual. According to the configuration, it is in many respects similar to the handle of the sword (and in size sometimes exceeds the length of the cutting blade itself).
Another distinguishing feature of suchtools is a very thin blade (not more than 1 mm). The surface of the cut is fairly smooth and in many cases does not require finishing. At the same time, the canvas does not bend, as the sawing of wood does not produce "forward" or "forward-backward" movements, but only "on oneself." Thanks to this, it is possible to make a smooth and precise cut even with a very thin web that does not experience any load on the bend.
According to the purpose, the form of the saw blade and the angle of the teeth sharpening, all instruments of this category are divided into several basic types (the classification was invented, of course, by the Japanese themselves):
Naturally, the widest range of modelsthe ancestors and inventors of this handy tool. On the Russian market you can see the products of Japanese companies Shogun and Silky.

For the production of cutting blades high-quality steel is used. The teeth of most products are hardened by special technology. Handles of such saws used to be made from wood. Now, as a material for their production, modern polymer materials or aluminum are used.
This is the most famous, widespread and mostuniversal Japanese wood saw. The cutting teeth are located on both edges of the blade (maximum web dimensions: length - 300 mm, width - 105 mm, thickness - 0.8 mm):

Russian users such a product is more familiar under the name of a sawmill.

Эта разновидность предназначена для curved sawing. Such models have a narrow long blade (120-210 mm). Since in some areas the web movement will occur along the fibers, and on others - across or obliquely, the teeth have a universal shape and a pitch of 1.1 to 1.6 mm.
Shogun models of this purpose, depending on the length of the blade, cost 1200-1800 rubles.
These are saws with a fairly complex geometric shape of the canvas. The total length of the blade is from 350 to 410 mm. The canvas itself consists of two parts:
