In filing a rip-saw the file should move exactly perpendicularly to the plane of the saw blade, that is, directly across the teeth.

In cutting the tenon, first rip-saw just outside the gaged lines, then crosscut at the shoulder lines.

Why, I have knowed men to try to hew out their own destiny an 'they'd make it look like a gum-log hewed out with a broad axe, until God would run the rip-saw of His purpose into them, an' square them out an 'smooth them over an' polish them into pillars for His Temple.

In cutting diagonally across a piece of wood, especially soft wood, a rip-saw cuts faster, but a crosscut, smoother.

The teeth are like those of a rip-saw, so that they are quite likely to tear the wood in cutting across the grain.

Then he took the ax and the rip-saw and made for a bunch of trees higher up the hill.

The _rip-saw_, Fig. 87, may be thought of as a series of chisels set in two parallel rows which overlap each other, for each tooth is filed to a sharp edge which, at each stroke, chisels off a small particle from the end of the wood fibers.

This arrangement works with entire success along the grain, but if a rip-saw is used to cut across the grain, since there is no provision for cutting thru the fibers, each tooth catches in them and tears them out, thus leaving a rough and jagged surface.

In starting a cut with the rip-saw, the weight of the saw should be borne by the right hand so that the teeth may pass over the edge of the wood as lightly as possible.
