Q: Which saws come in this set?

The pair includes a 20 tpi rip-cut dovetail saw and a 16 tpi crosscut saw.

Q: What is the dovetail saw best suited for?

Its fine, less-aggressive teeth are designed for cutting joinery in stock under 1/2" thick.

Its teeth have alternating bevels that sever wood fibres when cutting across the grain, helping the blade track accurately and leave a smooth finish.

Each high-carbon steel blade is 9 1/4" long and 0.020" thick, with a cutting depth of approximately 1 9/16".

Each spine is molded from stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness and a polymer resin binder.

Yes, the dovetail and crosscut saws are also available individually.

Our 20 tpi dovetail and 16 tpi crosscut saws are an innovative blend of tradition and technology, incorporating the critical characteristics of a classic fine joinery saw but made using modern production processes and state-of-the-art materials
The blade of the dovetail saw has 20 rip-cut teeth per inch
The less aggressive cut is best for stock under 1/2" thick
The teeth, set 0.003" per side, have a rake angle of 14° and an included angle of 60°
Used for cutting across or perpendicular to the grain, the 16 tpi crosscut saw blade has teeth filed with alternating bevel angles so it severs rather than tears wood fibers; it tracks better and leaves a smoother finish than a rip-cut blade
The teeth are filed with 15° rake and bevel angles and have 0.003" of set per side
Each saw has a spine molded from an advanced material incorporating stainless-steel powder for weight, glass fiber for stiffness, and a polymer resin binder
An over-molded blade and stainless-steel handle-mounting bolt creates a solid blade/spine/mount assembly
A single brass fastener secures the hardwood handle
