Before the introduction of chainsaws in agriculture and forestry, they were widespread but led a shadowy existence. They were rediscovered by people who, for example, wanted to saw their own firewood without noise and fumes, aside from sporting competitions.
These saws have a tooth geometry designed for cross-cutting and are therefore not suitable for ripping logs lengthwise. The teeth are set to prevent binding in the log, resulting in a kerf that is significantly wider than the blade thickness. The teeth work both on the pull and push stroke.
A distinctive feature is their curved tooth line, which interacts with the movement direction of the guiding hands. Since not all teeth engage at once, this results in less fatigue, leading to quicker work progress.
Pit saws are coarse tools and therefore not crafted with as much attention to detail as, for example, carpenter’s saws. It is normal for a new pit saw to have burrs on the tooth tips from the machine grinding process. The burr often falls off during use, but we recommend removing it with a file. Appropriate files are part of the basic equipment of every pit saw owner, as these saws frequently need to be resharpened.
