    Great saw, after a little tuning up

    Comments about 4140/250 Straight Back Saw :

    I use a lot of these due to low price and decent quality. Kerf is bit wide for easy control and finish out of the box, but that can be easily remedied by removing most of the set with a white Arkansas or equivalent slip. That reduces the 0.031" kerf to around 0.023", which cuts straighter and a LOT smoother, with greater speed and less effort. Further work with the slip reduces the kerf to 0.021", perfect for cutting guitar fret slots -- in fact, this saw seems to be the only one I can find suitable for that job, even from luthier's suppliers.

    It isn't expensive, but does not pay. OK for services that do not require a perfect finish.
