Material for sawing

The wood intended for sawing should be barked or cleaned thoroughly, using high-pressure stream of water. The wood should be free of any dirt, sand or metal chips.

The material for sawing should be locked in a fixed position, preventing it from moving while being cut.

Hardness of wood - in order to select the right saw it is helpful to divide wood into two following groups, with respect to its hardness:

soft raw wood (aspen, poplar, willow, fir, lime-tree, birch, alder, spruce, pine-tree, larch);

hard wood (elm, oak, ash-tree, beach-tree, hornbeam, ebony).
