A crosscut saw refers to the ‘cross-cut’ teeth that cut across the grain of the wood. Each tooth on the saw is filed into the form of two angles allowing the tip to be shaped like a common knife blade. These cross-cut teeth can cleanly and easily cut through the wood fibres, allowing you to cross-cut a board to any length you require.

With their vast array of sharp, rigid teeth, crosscut saws have been used since the Roman era and have been used by lumberjacks to cut down trees of all sorts of thicknesses and densities. The effectiveness of these saws has seen them be used to cut the strongest, most dense types of wood and has now only been made redundant by the use of chainsaws. However, for workshops with the prior mentioned types of ultra-robust wood, crosscut saws are still an exceptional tool and offer the sort of sharpness, strength and precision.

If you are intending to cut across the grain, then a crosscut saw machine will make short work of any jobs that you need to tackle whilst providing you with a clean and accurate cut that will keep the job you are working on looking professional. The use of locators or stops will allow you to make smooth accurate cuts again and again with the utmost confidence.
