    Default New Veritas Saws

    I have been using my Veritas Dovetail saw for small cross cut tasks and it works fairly nicely (apart from being a little difficult to start). So I was thinking about getting another and filing it to crosscut. Then I read on Christopher Schwarz's blog
    that LV have produced a small cross cut version and a finer TPI dovetail version.

    I couldn't find it on the LV site - I presume that these are pre-production versions being "market tested" at the Woodworking in America show? Anyone heard any more news? Surely Derek Cohen has been secretly testing one already?

    Hi Dion -

    Saws are just starting to come onstream now...should be available over the next 6 weeks. Best put the screws to Carbatec about an Australian supply....

    Derek wasn't a tester on these (as far as I know) - we actually asked a fellow who wasn't really keen on the design of the first one (when initially released) to be a tester on the next two....

    Cheers -

    Rob

    That has to be the quickest and most accurate reply to a question I've ever asked on the forum! Thanks for taking the time to browse this site and see what your customers are talking about.

    Hi -

    Fan or no fan - doesn't matter.... he writes well, thinks analytically, and gives his honest impressions.... just what anyone would want.

    It's important to listen.... and most important to listen to views that are different...


    Cheers -

    Rob, if you are still lurking - I had a look at your new surface vise earlier. Did anyone consider using a lever action to clamp with?

    (sorry for the hijack folks)

    Hmm -

    Production of project #800 is running along nicely... only thing missing is the box!! USD retail has been set at $29.50... which is spectacular for a plane....

    Project #840 is also on track... running right now...

    We're considering offering the pair for 1 week at savings of $10, which would make the pair $39 USD....

    That enough info??

    Cheers -
