Why the bidirectional teeth? I've seen mill saws with teeth on both sides of the blade to cut on the infeed and outfeed. But they don't reverse the blade direction.

This also seems like a slam dunk for a simple auto feeding mechanism for the punch.

Maybe it`s so that when one side gets dull you can flip it over and have a fresh edge?

Maybe they are slitting the blade blank ? Two for the price of one. Less handling.
