What saw blade lengths are available?
Content
| Some saws come in different lengths. Note that length refers to the length of the cutting edge along the blade. So a longer saw will always mean a longer blade. | ||
| Compared to a shorter blade, a longer one will have more teeth, but not necessarily more teeth per inch. It simply means that a few extra inches of teeth have been added to the end. | |
 | A longer blade means the saw can cut through and remove more material in one full stroke (when the entire cutting edge is used). As a result, fewer full strokes are required to complete the cut. | |
 | A longer blade will allow you to make longer strokes, while a shorter blade will require shorter hand movements. The blade length that's right for you is largely a matter of personal preference, so it's a good idea to hold the saw before you buy it and take a few trial swings in the air. | |
The weight | ||
 | Please note that the longer the blade, the heavier this saw will be. For fast, aggressive overhand cutting, this is a bonus, as it means gravity does most of the work, naturally helping to pull the saw into the material. | |
Comfort | ||
 | The length of the blade you choose will also depend on personal preference. If you want to cut a lot or want to make more controlled or thin cuts with a neat finish, WONKEE DONKEE advises you to hold your saw before purchasing it. | |
