When tested with an XRF instrument this saw had the following readings:
1.) Metal blade of saw:
- Chromium (Cr): 1,961 +/- 137 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 1,678 +/- 364 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 988,600 +/- 1,800 ppm
- Manganese (Mn): 6,929 +/- 700 ppm
2.) Logo area on blade of saw:
- Chromium (Cr): 2,138 +/- 145 ppm
- Copper (Cu): 1,493 +/- 326 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 988,400 +/- 1,700 ppm
- Manganese (Mn): 6,611 +/- 639 ppm
3.) Wooden handle of saw:
- Zinc (Zn): 14 +/- 6 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 41 +/- 16 ppm

4.) Decorative element of wooden handle of saw:
- Barium (Ba): 180 +/- 177 ppm
5.) Metal connecting points of saw (fastening bolts):
- Chromium (Cr): 360 +/- 88 ppm
- Tin (Sn): 144 +/- 61 ppm
- Nickel (Ni): 398,500 +/- 2,700 ppm
- Iron (Fe): 595,100 +/- 2,700 ppm
- Manganese (Mn): 2,635 +/- 472 ppm
All tests are done for a minimum of 60 seconds unless otherwise noted. Tests are repeated multiple times in order to confirm the results are accurate. All test results reported on this blog are science-based, accurate and replicable.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
