Cut-Control Saws

There is probably no phase of woodworking that has been more neglected than that phase dealing with mechanical cutting tools. Circular saws rank among the oldest of woodworking tools. The fundamentals of their design were developed many years ago, and to a considerable extent present day saws are essentially the same as those used in the early days of the woodworking industry. Recently a new type or design of saw known as the Cut-Control saw has been introduced. The design is based on the same principal used in the controlled cut in present day cutting heads. The tip of the tooth projects above the edge of the blade a fixed distance. Hence the saw cannot remove any more wood fiber than the total number of teeth times the spindle speed at a given rate of feed. If the feed exceeds the amount of fiber removed, the stock will ride the relief of the blade. Advantages of the new blade design are greater safety and lower horsepower requirements.
