Ryoba 240

Super super awesome. It has made my gardening work hassle free. Sharp blades cuts even the most thick tree branches.

I am a DIY enthusiast trying my hands at woodworking. Unnees-bees doesn't work when working with wood. The saw gives precise cuts and glides through pine wood effortlessly. Takes 2-3 tries to get the movement right. I had tried the local aari/saw which was terrible and gave weird cuts. Even a circular saw didn't work well for thicker woods. But with a little amount of elbow grease, this saw works like a charm. Makes the entire wood cutting process seem like meditation. If that makes sense. The above experience is only for pine wood. Will update once i move on to hardwood. Definitely worth the price. You can see the difference in finishing. The smaller bar stool was cut using a circular saw. The taller one was cut using this blade.

Beautiful saw and completely worth it

It is the best Japanese pull saw that one could have in their workshop although the price seems on a higher side but once you start using you wont regret it. I personally loved this saw everything is great rip cut cross cut and above all the finish of the cut is just fine.

What a beautiful saw.

Im happy to use my dream saw. Good quality

This is my first ryoba saw and I am awestruck. Such a pleasure to work with such high quality saw. Very precise and cuts efficiently. Congratulations & Many thanks to seller

The feeling of using this blade is different and wonderful.Good for precise cutting and it is suitable for smaller stocks in my experience.Its fine teeth gives satisfying cuts which is similar to a machine's cut.

I finally took the plunge on my first Japanese saw and I can only say I wasted far too many years waiting to do so! This saw is sharp, very sharp. I have used it to rip 8' x 4' sheets of 1/4" ply to size in about half the time it would take me using a traditional push cut saw. (I used both the rip and the crosscut edge, both edges work on ply but the crosscut edge leaves a slightly cleaner cut) Pine is a joy to cut, it's almost like it's not even there. Now, onto hardwood and does it work on it? Yes, it most definitely does. I have cut teak, oak and walnut with it. It cuts so much faster and once you know how to use it properly it's very accurate. If you tend to stray from your lines when using a saw you can use the Paul Sellers method and cut a knife wall, that will keep you on track. Are there any downsides to this saw? No, none, well, if you call taking the time to learn how to use it correctly a downside then that's the only one. There is a slight learning curve but a few internet videos will fix that in no time. If like me you have exclusively used push cut saws your muscle memory will have to change a little. Remember it cuts on the pull and you'll be fine. The kerf is tiny, something else you will have to take note of, you'll need to get right up to your marks. Materials: The saw is well made, the blade is thin (This is by design) and the handle is sturdy and works well. One thing I might change though is to add some kind of fabric tape or hockey tape to the handle to ease pressure on the hand, especially if you are going to be cutting a lot of timber. Overall, this is a fantastic addition to my workshop and I can see no reason to go back to a push cut saw, ever!

Finding out about these saws has been the best thing for my woodwork journey. They cut through wood like butter and I can even use my off hand with minimal effort. After using these saws I made the choice to do all my woodwork by hand. I have bought two of them already (one as a spare) Great product!

Fastest way to get setup with a high quality saw. Pull rather than push saws take a little bit of getting use to, but not much. Best advice: lower the saw quickly after getting the cut started - it saws smoother and more accurate. It is razor sharp and had a very thin kerf (width of the cut). Within the first half a dozen uses a beginner wood worker will be cutting to at least an accuracy (wavyness in cut) of 1/16" and another half a dozen uses should get you close to or at 1/32" wavyness in cut. Make sure you have lots of light and look at the reflection in the saw - makes it easy to keep saw accurately vertical. When you're doing it right you are applying little down pressure and it will feel smooth. Adjust your use of the saw until you feel this. A lot more work to get good with a western saw than with one of these. This is the saw to build saw skill and confidence in your saw skill.

This is an exceptional pull saw. The quality exceeded my expectations, and it’s one of those tools that immediately inspires confidence the first time you use it. The blade is incredibly sharp and produces clean, accurate cuts in both rip and crosscut applications. It tracks beautifully with very little effort, making it easy to achieve precise results for fine woodworking and joinery. The handle is comfortable and feels great in the hand, giving excellent control throughout the cut. The saw also feels durable and well made, and after plenty of use, it has continued to perform exceptionally well. Whether you’re new to Japanese pull saws or already have experience with them, I highly recommend this one. It’s a high-quality tool that delivers outstanding accuracy, excellent cut quality, and a very enjoyable user experience.
