Tried a pull saw for dado cuts after 20 years of using a chisel set

I always figured Japanese pull saws were just for dovetails and fine box work. Grabbed a $40 one on a whim for a shelving job in Austin and it cut a perfect dado in half the time. Anyone else switch cutting methods later in their career?

And once you get used to that clean cut you'll never want to go back to chisels.

Couple of clean cuts and I’m already hooked. A sharp chisel just feels faster and more precise. Hard to go back once you know the difference.
