Separating: Teeth edges are chisels that shave wood from between the cuts.

Clearing: Gullets collect dust to deposit it outside the cut.

Japanese Toothing is a triple grinding, 50 degree cutting angle tooth with long teeth and narrow gullets.  The teeth are non-set and taper down to a ground blade.  Japanese toothing generally offers a quick smooth cut and a better performance.  For more Japanese toothed saws check out our .    available.
