I have a 300mm saw with crosscut on one side and rip on the other. They leave very smooth cuts and are very precise. However I find them to be slow for larger cuts. Most of the time I use my Stanley 26" Sharptooth saw which has the same tooth pattern, but cuts on the push stroke. The 26" saw has more than twice the cutting length which I find is faster. This saw also rips quite well.
