Woodworking Tips, Projects and Tool Reviews for Today's Woodworker. Heartwood. • Friday, February 21st, 2014 In saw descriptions and discussions, there is often the implicit assumption that a thinner saw cuts proportionately faster than a thicker saw. At the risk of setting this up as a straw man case, the assumption goes that, as an example, with all else being theoretically equal, a .012″ plate will cut twice as fast as a .024″ plate. Further, it follows that a thin-kerf saw has, within limits, this distinct advantage, assuming that its other sawing parameters can be controlled to maintain good function.
This would be analogous to a 24″ wide swath of snow being twice as hard to push as a 12″ swath, all else being equal. Let’s think about what a saw tooth does. The crosscut tooth severs the wood fibers at the sides of the kerf where, again, the task is approximately irrespective of kerf width. Thus, in both cases, especially crosscutting, this simple idealized analysis suggests that, all else being equal, twice the kerf width does not mean half the sawing speed. Proven Woodworking Blog.
