Is this a rip or a crosscut saw?

This is a crosscut saw with a reinforced back that cannot pass through a rip cut.

I believe it is a crosscut saw,it's got a thin set on the blade,cuts by pulling to you.I going to use it for cutting in frets on guitar

Technically, the blade design is a combination rip and cross-cut. However, it is optimized for joinery work. If you need to use it for work other than joinery, you can use it with the spine brace attached to keep the blade straight and cut a fair bit in, then remove the spine brace so the blade can continue cutting with the spine going below the surface of the wood. If you try to make any cut starting without the spine brace attached you will end up with a complete mess and it will be very difficult to work.

The blade is 7 inches long. One side is for ripping, the other for crosscut. I just tried it on some oak, I think, and it worked well. I love that saw! I'm a pretty unskilled woodworker, but I can cut a very straight line exactly where I want it with that razor saw. I can't make that claim with the other saws I've used.

I used a hacksaw to saw down a little then i took a pair of pliers and broke it off. That should do the job.

Yes, very easily. Once your saw is mounted to the rip cut and adjusted to show correct width of cut, set at 4 inches and cut away. On the second cut, ensure your saw is "riding" on the 4 inch board to help stabilize the saw better.

it really depends on the size of the wood you are cutting. there are different size mills to accommodate the bar length of your saw. if your saw bogs down when you're crosscutting a large log, it will when you are ripping as well.

Sounds like a job for a circular saw fitted with a nice sharp ripping blade. This ain't the tool for that job.

This is a great crosscut blade, but is not very good for rip cuts. It may be overkill for construction lumber like 2X4s, as it is at it's best with 1" or under hardwoods. If you are cutting for construction framing, I would recommend a combination blade designed for construction. If smooth, precision crosscuts are more important than speed and versatility, this might be a good choice.

This is a good cut off saw.for cutting cross grain. I think for doing contour work on fine grain wood a good quality rasp might offer more benefits.

I would think that this saw would be a good choice because it is a pull saw and being very thin can make a very clean cut. Hope this helps.

It is short, but other than long rip cuts (more than 4 ft), I haven't run into any real limitations. It is great for crosscuts, hard wood, joinery etc. I find that I use this exclusively, except for longer rips. I recommend the saw highly.

The Rip Cut was designed to work with most circular saws...I use a craftsman circular saw ...but again the Rip Cut is adjustable.

Yes, just as you see in the photo is what you get. My saw lasted only for a little while and the blade started wobbling but still cuts fine. To get it to stop wobbling I just back it off of the cut and continue on until cut is complete. I gave it a bad rating because of the cheap quality!

No, it does not. It is not a proper tool for ripping. The 3/8" blade is not ridged enough to rip a good straight line. I use a small table saw for ripping.

This is only the mill that attaches to you 20 inch or less chain saw bar. The rip chain is a separate purchase. Hope this helps

OK for very short cuts or notches. Long cuts use circular saw, sawsall or jigsaw.

It says on the package for chop, miter saws or table saws. I use mine on my radial arm saw which does primarily crosscutting . I have not tried ripping with it as I have a 50 tooth combination for that on my table saw. I would presume that the 80t blade could be used for ripping ,but it would be slow and would probably leave some burn marks which are hard to remove. There are a lot better options to ripping and why use an excellent crosscut blade for that? The 80t gives a exceptionally smooth crosscut.Hope this helps. Herb

John, the saw I received was in a Makita carton with all of the new owner papers and owners manuals. It wasn't listed as reconditioned as I recall. I have used the saw while building my new dining room table, and couldn't be happier.
