Which tooth set is designed to handle the strain of interrupted cuts?

The wavy tooth set is specifically designed to handle the strain of interrupted cuts effectively. This design features teeth that are arranged in a wave-like pattern, which allows the cutting tool to navigate through materials that have varying densities or interruptions without losing efficiency or damaging the tool.

This type of tooth set ensures that the cutter engages with the material intermittently and can manage the resultant vibration and forces during the cutting process. It absorbs shock better than other setups, allowing for a more stable cutting action when encountering irregularities in the material. This capability makes the wavy tooth set particularly effective for applications such as cutting lumber, where the material may include knots and other interruptions that could otherwise lead to tool failure or reduced cutting precision.

In contrast, other tooth sets such as the parallel, standard, and serrated tooth sets are better suited for more consistent and continuous cuts, where the strain and variability are not as pronounced. They may not provide the same level of shock absorption and resilience when facing abrupt changes in the material being cut.
