Types of saws Head Saws Large band saws that are used to make the
initial cuts on a log are called head saws.
Generally, they have a two to three inch tooth space on the cutting edge
and sliver teeth on the back. Sliver teeth are the non-cutting
proportion of teeth that's designed to wipe slivers out of the way when
the blade needs to back out of a cut. Small band saws
(up to ten inches in width) are known as resaws. They are
optimized for a narrow kerf, and therefore produces low waste because of
the small cut. Usually, they have about a one and three-quarter tooth
space with 32' length and 16ga thickness (and a flat back). Double cut saws are most often as large as a head saw. However, they have cutting teeth located on both sides of the band.
