Crosscut & Ripcut Saws; What's the Difference? | Paul Sellers

To understand the difference between ripcut and crosscut saws, you must look at the way the teeth are shaped.

There are two types of sawtooth, chisel point as in rip-cut and pinnacle or pyramid point which are three-sided culminating into a sharp point. With the ripcut saw, it's the chisel edges to each of the teeth that slice along the long grain. The crosscut saw relies on both the sharp point and then the side bevel to the front and back of each tooth. I think that this video will help you to see the difference!
