The main advantage of fitting the blade so that it cuts on the pull stroke is that, if it sticks the couple tends to lift the blade rather than causing it to dig in. Russell

Wood blades for them have been available for many years, bought many packs of ten at a good knockdown price, when a Focus store closed in our area several years ago and even gave a few packs away to workmates, but still got plenty to last and I actually used one just last week, to cut a profile in a piece of plasterboard and just used a knife on the crossway line to snap the piece out. Regards Nick.
