WHAT DOES CROSSCUT SAW MEAN IN ENGLISH?

crosscut saw

Crosscut saw

A crosscut saw is a general term for any saw blade for cutting wood perpendicular the wood grain. Crosscut saws may be small or large, with small teeth close together for fine work like woodworking or large for course work like log bucking, and can be a hand tool or power tool. The cutting edge of each tooth is angled in an alternating pattern. This design allows each tooth to act like a knife edge and slice through the wood in contrast to a rip saw, which tears along the grain, acting like a miniature chisel. Some crosscut saws use special teeth called "rakers" designed to clean out the cut strips of wood from the kerf. Crosscut saws generally have smaller teeth than rip saws. Some saws, such as Japanese saws and those used by the ancient Egyptians, are designed to cut only on the pull stroke. Western saws, on the other hand, are designed to cut on the push stroke.
