First fix and second fix describe the stage of the work and they carry different teeth. A first fix saw at 7tpi cuts fast and leaves an edge that will be covered. A second fix saw at 11tpi cuts more slowly and leaves a finish that will be seen. Tooth count is stamped on the blade rather than having to be counted along it.
Using the wrong one costs time at both ends. A 7tpi saw on second fix work leaves a torn edge that has to be cleaned up; an 11tpi saw on structural timber takes far longer to get through the same cut.
Blade length sets the stroke available. A 550mm blade cuts a wide board in fewer strokes; a 500mm blade is easier to control and lighter to carry. Both are held so the choice is made on the work rather than being fixed by the tooth count. Both lengths are held at each tooth count so the stage and the reach are chosen separately.
A pull saw at 240mm cuts on the pull rather than the push, which keeps a thin blade in tension rather than buckling it. That gives a very fine cut in a small space. A 13tpi UPVC saw cuts plastic that a timber saw would tear. Send the material to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. A tool box saw at 350mm covers the case where a full length saw will not fit the bag.
