Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a pull saw and how is it different from traditional saws?

A pull saw cuts on the pull stroke rather than the push. This allows for greater control, smoother cuts, and less blade flex, especially on delicate materials or in tight spaces.

What can I cut with an Excel Blades pull saw?

These saws are perfect for:

• Wood (especially soft and thin woods like balsa)

• Plastic and PVC

• Soft metals like brass or aluminum

• Dowel rods and trim pieces

• Foam boards and composites

Always match the blade tooth size to your material for best results.

Are pull saws better for precision cutting?

Yes. Pull saws exert less pressure, allowing for more accurate and delicate cuts, especially useful in model making, carpentry, and finish work.

Can I use a pull saw for woodworking or joinery?

Absolutely. Pull saws are ideal for:

• Flush cutting dowels

• Cutting joinery like dovetails

• Trimming molding and edges

• Working in areas with limited clearance

For accurate joinery, use with a Craft Ruler & Cutting Mat.

Do your pull saws come with replacement blades?

Some models include a replaceable blade system, while others are fixed. Check individual product listings or shop Replacement Saw Blades for compatible parts.
