The 12 tpi rip saw has a 10 degree rake angle and an included angle of 60 degree for efficient cutting parallel to the grain. The teeth have relatively minimal set, at only 0.003" per side.
Each saw has a molded spine that incorporates stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness, and an advanced polymer binder. An over-molded blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt create a solid blade/spine/mount assembly. A single brass fastener secures the wallaba handle. The open-grip handle, made larger than those of classic carcass saws, permits a comfortable, secure grip. The high-carbon steel blade, 11" long and 0.02" thick, has a cut depth of about 2-3/8". Each saw is 16-3/8" long overall and weighs just under a pound.
