The Lie-Nielsen Independence Carcass 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. The Carcass Saw is used for precise cuts across the grain such as cutting tenon shoulders and defining the edges of a dado.
The ideal compliment to the Dovetail Saw. It is filed crosscut at 14 ppi (points per inch) for fast yet accurate and smooth cuts. 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.
