“Teaching folks to make joints from the first cutting tool, the saw, is what I consider to be an essential part of good craftsmanship. To that end I have been designing and building shop saws that help make that task possible.” And with thousands of teaching hours logged across three countries, Rob built a crosscut saw tailored just for the hand tool woodworker. Each saw is personally tested by Rob prior to shipping and comes in a beautifully hand crafted Walnut and Aspen presentation/storage case. Overall saw length is 15- 1/8, blade length is 10 inches, cutting depth is 1-5/8.Unique features of Rob’s crosscut saw include: With only .002 set per side this 15 tpi saw will slice through wood and leave a ready-to-join surface, right out of the box! You have a choice, we saw, shape, sand and buff to a satin finish, “bone resin” and “ebony resin” composite handles with carved finger recesses for extra comfort and control. The extra heavy brass back provides perfect balance and all the downward pressure needed to make fast and accurate crosscuts. The teeth are extremely sharp and exert very little cutting pressure on the wood, the smooth and clean kerf is the evidence. One bolt and split nut secures the handle to the blade while the other bolt and split nut secures the handle to the brass back and pierces the blade as well. We use four copper pins that are peened and flushed to decoratively secure the blade to the brass back.
