Veritas Dovetail & Crosscut Saws

“

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. Save $29 when you buy them as a pair.

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°.

\n

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.

\n

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. Made of high-carbon steel, the blade of each is 9 1/4\” long and 0.020\” thick, with a cut depth of about 1 9/16\”. Comfortable and well balanced, each saw measures 14 1/4\” long overall.
