LN Leather Saw Case, Hand-Cut Dovetails - Cosman
|
|
The Lie-Nielsen Independence Dovetail Saw is based on a Sheffield-made saw from the 1830s. English backsaws from that era represent the pinnacle of the sawmaker's art where beauty - form and function are blended to perfection. The highly decorative handle will fit your hand like a glove - comfortable and ready for hours of sawing pleasure. Balance is excellent. Since dovetailing is a ripping operation where the kerf is running with the grain - the saw has its teeth filed to a rip profile - unlike other dovetail saws on the market today.
The Independence Dovetail Saw strikes an ideal balance between surface finish and speed with 15 points per inch. Many first time sawyers find it difficult to track a saw straight along the line they've scribed. These saws make tracking effortless because of the fine set of the teeth at .003 in. per side for an average of .026 in. wide kerf. The blade does not wobble from side to side which frequently causes a saw to veer off course. - Handle: Curly Hard Maple - Cocobolo option is available below
