Push or pull

vendredi 2 mai 2014

When you start a cut across the grain, do you start with a push or a pull?



My habit is to score a line with a marking knife, place the saw in the hollow left by the line and draw back a few times to establish the starting kerf. But I have seen and heard other people who will say you should point the saw down a bit and start with a few short pushes.



Is it just a matter of what suits or is there a good reason for one over the other.



In practice, using Veritas saws, I can get very clean and accurate cuts doing it this way but I wonder if this might just be another of those things I have gotten away with because nobody caught me.
