THE BLADETHE BLADE
Only steel from the best steel mills is used for IRWIN Plus saw blades.
We use cold rolled C75 steel that provides a rigid but flexible saw blade for maximum cutting performance.
C75 is a spring steel that will bend without deformation.

SHARPNESSSHARPNESS
The teeth of the IRWIN handsaws are sharpened in a unique grinding operation securing razor sharp cutting edges.
IRWIN handsaws cut with minimum effort and give a finer cut compared to saws with filed teeth.
Both the back and the front of the teeth are ground meaning hat the saw will cut on both the push and pull stroke.
A ground saw will stay sharp longer than a filed saw.

SETTING OF THE TEETHSETTING OF THE TEETH
The main purpose of a setting is to create clearance in the kerf and avoid the sawfrom binding in the material.
Setting can be done in more ways, the most common is a traditional left-right-left setting.
There are settings like our dynamic +40 setting that increases the cutting speed by 40% mainly because of an efficient removal of saw dust from the kerf.
A setting is usually from 0,2 - 0,4mm+40CONVENTIONAL

HARD POINTHARD POINT
All our hand saws (almost) come with hardened teeth.
The teeth are precision hardened to a hardness of app. 63 HRc.
Hardened teeth will keep their sharpness 6 - 8 times longer compared to saws with unhardened teeth.
Handsaws with unhardened teeth can unlike handsawswith hard point teeth be resharpened with a file.
Today, professionals hardly care about resharpening.Time is too valuable. Hand saws have become disposableItems.

HANDLEHANDLE
All IRWIN handsaws have handles designed with comfort in mind, as it is very important that you don’t have to compensate in your hand and arm for an unsuitable design or weight distribution.
It is our philosophy that practical design should, if possible, be combined with useful features. Therefore most of our handles have a 90° and 45° mitre feature.
All handles are made from light weight materials but still tough and durable.
We use ultrasonic welding for assembly of the main part of our products, an assembly method that over years have proven to be very efficient and reliable.

NUMBER OF TEETH/POINTSNUMBER OF TEETH/POINTS
The fineness/coarseness of the saw is expressed in either number of teeth per inch or number of points per inch . Many teeth/points per inch will give a fine cut. Few teeth/points per inch will give a coarse and faster cut.
A
Number of Teeth
A - Number of teeth are measured from gullet to gullet. Example A shows 5 teeth per inch
B
Number of Points
B - Number of points are measured from tooth point to tooth point. Example B shows 6 points per inch.
