Next, when you grok the difference between a "conventional cut" and a "climb
cut", post back -- maybe then we can have an intelligent conversation.

Something you clearly don't, EA. Those terms apply to end mills when
using the side of the cutter. Applied to a circular saw blade, they're
just meaningless technobabble used to weakly obfuscate your ignorance.


Err... Actually the term was used way back in the days of horizontal
milling machines where the term is actually descriptive as in "climb
milling" the cutter actually does try to climb onto the work...

And as far a saw blades are concerned, while the term, per se, wasn't
used the concept was certainly know in the days of the old circular
saw mills, even the early steam powered mills.
