[@Teabag-jt]

Mate the irony is Japanese woods saws even at the industrial level still look smilies to this. The main issue with this one is the folding. A traditional Japanese wood saw doesn’t fold meaning it has much long blade. But you are right they are comparing like with not like, the blade is 2 small for that job. On separate test with a small tree the Japanese won, this was just a bad test.

[@gabesmith6475]

The point of a Japanese saw is that you take long strokes, applying little downward pressure, the saw will do the work while you simply move it back and forth. There are Japanese saws that are meant for cutting logs like that, and they do cut “faster” due to finer teeth. A western saw is literally for getting a rough cut, where the log will be split and re-sawn to exact dimensions at a mill. A Japanese saw is for cleaner cuts, where a mill is not practical, they’re also designed to use less energy because they cut in the pull stroke...as long as you’re using it right. If you got this far, thank you for reading. Have an amazing day, and make sure you get something done today, whether that’s brushing your teeth, or building a house, accomplish something today.👍

opps thought I was watching Mr. Beast with no Mr. Beast in the Video.

[@kassiedreaneai7459]

Wranglerstar, by my limited knowledge of saws both of the saws used there are actually push-pull saws. Tooth design determines if saw is a push; a pull; or a push-pull. If the leading edge of the teeth is more or less 90° and the trailing edge at an angle then the direction of cutting is towards the side of the 90° of the tooth. A hacksaw blade is a good example of this. Both of the saws used here have matching angles (As far as I can tell in the closeups) and will cut equally as well in both directions; but that will vary according to the direction the operator puts the most effort into. (Just like finished wood hand saws which also have similar angles on both front and back of the teeth.) The design of the handle of western wood saws lends itself to adding down force on the forwards motion applying greater power to the forwards or pushing motion. Pulling on the handle of the larger saw used actually has a lifting affect to the saw; but if it had a long straight handle it would be equally as good cutting in both push and pull with similar human effort applied to both directions.

I only ever changed the oil, and chains and sprockets once in a while, no other maintenance really and it always ran perfect. And I rode it hard. Replaced it with a 1996 Suzuki RMX250 two stroke, much much faster needless to say. The RMX was really easy to ride wheelies. I sold the Suzuki because thought the engine was on the way out and got a 1995 Yamaha WR250 two stroke. Loved that bike, extremely fast and stable at all speeds. Had a mild port job done on it, higher compression YZ head gasket, had an FMF fatty pipe and silencer, boysen reeds, twin air high flow filter, tuned and jetted it so it ran clean.

[@MountainFisher]

Will Cushman; Not really, kerosene is distilled diesel fuel which is an extremely good solvent for removing stuff like sap and asphalt. The WD-40 is more lubricant than a solvent. The kerosene would actually work considerably better at keeping sap off the saw. If you ever get a bunch of asphalt on your car, diesel will take it right off. Worked for an Asphalt machinery repair company and diesel is what we used to take off inches of old asphalt stuck on the machines. Sprayed on at came back the next day and it was falling off.

Um. That looks like a western-style orchardists pruning saw which is simply made in Japan. This is basically "Small western saw vs big western saw." It doesn't even appear to be a pull-stroke design. The Japanese saw that is actually the equivalent of your big western saw is a Maebiki-Nokogiri (Whaleback Saw) or Sakimaru (Willow-Leaf-Saw). A video comparing the two would be much more interesting.

Hold on. He literally not only yanked out completely the japanese saw. Yet when you looked at how far deep the Japanese saw actually cut. The guy literally was sawing no longer sawing down to where it originally cut but in the same position the entire time then slowly raising the cut higher instead of continuing to go downward. The Japanese saw was clearly winning at the beginning. Then when they decided to switch all of a sudden they stopped pressing down on the saw. The fact the Japanese saw kept getting pulled out in the first place while they let the other one rest in the wood is suspect alone. This seems intentionally biased.
