Q: What can I cut with a Japanese pull saw like this?
This saw cuts plywood, particleboard and PVC pipe cleanly, thanks to impulse-hardened teeth that hold an edge through abrasive materials.
60T5401 - Rip/Crosscut Saw
This is an impressive saw. Developed for construction use, its impulse-hardened teeth readily cut plywood, particleboard and PVC pipe, but the saw can be used for fine work as well.
Suitable for both crosscutting and ripping, it is particularly useful for trimming end grain (e.g., when you want to cut just a smidgen off a chair leg to stop it from rocking). The saw cuts on the pull stroke, and has a 265mm (10 1/2") 14 tpi blade and a soft, non-slip handle (various colors).

Yes, this rip saw also crosscuts well, so one blade covers both types of cuts instead of needing two separate saws.
It works well for detail tasks like trimming a sliver off a chair leg to stop it from rocking, even though it was developed for construction use.
