Tenon Saw - Recommendations?
Wizards and Gurus, I'm getting a tenon saw to assist with my hand work.
I've been using my Japanese saws and well, they aren't quite right for the hard timbers I'm using at the moment.
This is a spurred on by a few other convo's occurring right now. I did a decent search of the forum but couldn't find a thread on "what to buy" that wasn't a decade old....
SO!
-- I'm doing 98% handwork now
-- I've dovetail saws (veritas second handies)
-- an excellent complement of Japanese saws and acquiring a frame saw (another thread)
-- These are for cross and rips for .... tenons!
-- I don't know the difference between a tenon and a carcase (but I'm sure to find out)
SO SO!
Can anyone recommend an excellent saw?
I've looked at the Veritas, the PAX and some second hand oldies... but don't know what is "good".
Any quick pointers, or simply advice of "buy this, you won't regret it".
Tenon Saw - Recommendations?
I went through this exercise last year before Matts “Great Saw Giveaway”.
The consensus seemed to be that the best value saw by far was the Veritas. The only negative was that some didn’t like the styling. It cut just as well as the rest.
If wanting a traditional styled saw, then the Lie Nielsen.
In the end I restored a couple of back saws, so never ventured down the new route.
