I've used mine both ways, but cutting on the pull stroke seems to work better for most cuts.

Down is a little more work but cleaner cut.
I dont think there is any right way because of the 7 carpenters on my job we are almost split on up/down. THe job gets done.
I cant imagine teeth up for stain grade work though.

Teeth up, Down?
Whatcha mean?
Oh, you still cope by hand?
OK, Try this.

I use collins foot, but I still use coping saw for 1/4" round and a few other things. Also, when I have put down shoe on a third floor I cut free hand with "jap" saw. I'm to old to be carrying chopsaw up all of those stairs. Maybe I need to hire a good looking young fellow to carry things.;)

Marion,
Young fellers?
Certainly you are not insinuating you might be a ole geezer?
Well I have just the thing for you and shoe.
